From the Eyes of the Painter, An Outdoor Performance Ritual

SSE Art Initiative is pleased to have a site-specific installation by the internationally active artist Ylva Snöfrid, made thanks to a donation by Alexandra and Michael Storåkers, SSE alumni.

During a two-week-long ritual painting performance outside the school's great oak door in 2018, Ylva Snöfrid created four paintings that later were installed through a ritual dinner performance in the school's grand Auditorium, in a building designed by Ivar Tengbom in 1925.

The work From the Eyes of the Painter, An Outdoor Performance Ritual, 2018, was a multi-part installation that was created for two weeks on-site at SSE in front of the school's students and passers-by who were able to follow the creative process hour by hour, day by day.
