The art world in Sweden and around the world is shaped by political decisions, economic conditions, a transformed market and changing institutions.
In the Royal Institute of Art’s (KKH) conversation series Conversations on the Conditions of Art, a variety of actors – from artists and curators to gallery owners, opinion leaders and institutional leaders – come together to seek to capture voices and insights about the role of art in a time of change.
The talks will be moderated by Sanne Kofod Olsen, Vice-Chancellor at KKH.
Sanne Kofod Olsen and Cecilia Hillström, gallerist, will meet for a conversation on 16 April.
Warmly welcome to attend!
Date: 16/4
Time: 16.00
Place: The Royal Institute of Art, library
Cecilia Hillström
Following several years of involvement in other art projects, Cecilia Hillström established her gallery in the gallery district on Hudiksvallsgatan in 2012. Among other contributions, she co-founded the MARKET art fair in 2006 and has served on the board of Moderna Museets Vänner.
Cecilia is an art historian and holds a degree from the Stockholm School of Economics. After initially working in the financial sector, she studied art history in New York, Stockholm and Rome.
Today, Cecilia Hillström Gallery represents some 25 artists and presents around ten exhibitions per year. The gallery also participates in international art fairs. The gallery’s stable includes both younger artists and more established ones, many of whom have studied at the Royal Institute of Art.
