Thinking with aquatic organisms in the Baltic Sea…

We are excited to welcome our new GRASS Fellow, Kristina Õllek, to Gotland. She will be in residence at BAC for six weeks, during which time she will also occupy a workspace at Campus Gotland in Visby. On Gotland she will, amongst other things, be researching water from a broad spectrum and tapping into research areas of local marine ecologists.
Kristina Õllek (born 1989 in Tallinn, Estonia) is a visual artist based in Tallinn. Over the past nine years, her work has explored the fragile deep-sea ecosystems on the coasts of the North Sea and sunk into the hypoxic zones of the Baltic Sea - ”thinking with” the aquatic organisms, such as cyanobacteria, as well as the filter feeders.

The GRASS Fellow Programme, organised by BAC and Uppsala University Graduate School in Sustainability Studies (GRASS), invites artists with a particular focus on sustainability issues to Campus Gotland. The aim of the residency programme is twofold: for the artists to deepen their practice in dialogue with researchers and students, and to enrich the campus environment with artistic experiments, field trips, workshops and artistic interventions that contribute to increased curiosity, awareness and knowledge about sustainability issues.

The GRASS Fellow Programme is supported by the Nordic-Baltic Mobility Programme for Culture in 2025-2026.

The cycles of Gotlandic military mobilisation brings Juan-Pedro Fabra Guemberena back to Gotland to revisit the True Colours project.

21 och 23 oktober arrangerar Konstfrämjandet Gotland en workshop med konstnären Juan-Pedro Fabra Guemberena på Gotlands Försvarsmuseum i Visby.

Workshopen utforskar olika konstnärliga strategier som ligger till grund för vår förståelse av kamouflagebegreppet och undersöker relationen mellan måleri, landskap och hur konsten spelade en instrumentell roll för de första historiska kamouflagebrigaderna.

Workshopen är en del av satsningen Öppna Konstskolan som genomförs i samarbete mellan Konstfrämjandet Gotland, BAC - Baltic Art Center och Konst och form på Gotland.

Please meet our new GRASS Fellow Ina Hagen!

The Norwegian artist will be spending three months in Visby from August to November. Ina Hagen (born 1989) lives and works in Oslo. Her artistic practice spans video and digital media, text and printed matter, collective making practices, and pedagogical approaches. In recent years, a key theme has been the ways in which Norwegian energy colonialism is legitimised and normalised by the industry itself in the media. During her time on Gotland, the artist will continue to develop a project exploring Norway's relationship with its oil industry.

The GRASS Fellow Programme, organised by BAC and Uppsala University Graduate School in Sustainability Studies (GRASS), invites artists with a particular focus on sustainability issues to Campus Gotland. The aim of the residency programme is twofold: for the artists to deepen their practice in dialogue with researchers and students, and to enrich the campus environment with artistic experiments, field trips, workshops and artistic interventions that contribute to increased curiosity, awareness and knowledge about sustainability issues.

The GRASS Fellow Programme is supported by Nordic Culture Point in 2025-2026.
