On Saturday 6th June 2026, between 10.00–17.00, OPI Lab invites public(s) to Lövholmen for one day to explore the neighbourhood’s past, present and future through 11 sketches, interventions and works in public space.
Lövholmen is an industrial area in Gröndal that has existed in a state of waiting for more than 20 years. The area, adjacent to the residential neighborhood of Gröndal and the commercial area of Liljeholmen, has a history of industrial production, a contemporary role as a locus for artistic and other creative work, and a future that will be shaped by a detail development plan that aims to transform the waterfront into new housing.
How might what we do now affect what one day will come? Can experimental spatial sketches, prototypes, propositions, and negotiations based on artistic values — taking place in the neighborhood and its surrounding areas — become part of rehearsing a reimagined future neighborhood here, or of changing a city somewhere else?
Of Public Interest (OPI) Lab is a practice-based research environment and advanced course for practitioners working in the fields of art and architecture, run through the Royal Institute of Art. OPI Lab’s headquarters is located in a storefront at Gröndalsvägen 1. This space and the surrounding neighborhood form a context and case study for experimentation and exploration for different interests, professional knowledges, creative approaches, and skills. Our storefront will be open to the public on the 6th June.
