Finnish contemporary artist Egs is one of the most successful of his generation. As one of the first clearly graffiti-rooted artists in Scandinavia Egs had a major solo show in Helsinki's Kunsthalle in 2018. In the spring of 2020 he will be exhibited at The Finnish Glass Museum.Egs works in his own universe, grounded in the use of the three letters in his name only. Whether it's his dynamic ink drawings or the slower but even more hard-to-control media of glass, those three letters is the fundament of his art and the stories he tells. While showing works in museums and galleries internationally, EGS still keeps painting graffiti on the streets around the world. He has become an important figure in the international graffiti community. Both for the quality of his work, but also for an intellectual vibe that goes like a red thread through all of his work.In Writing Stories with three Letters, Egs author Tobias Barenthin Lindblad discuss Egs' practice in both studio and the streets. Their conversation covers topics directly connected to the artwork that is depicted in the book, but also about the deeper meanings and driving forces of being an artist. How does one bring the energy from painting in the street into a studio? How can you bring the uncertainity in making glass into painting graffiti in the street? How do a painting in an abandoned Finnish factory and a glass sculpture in a gallery communicate? Is an artist measured by a single art work or by his or her body of work? And last but not least: can a word without meaning have a message? Writing Stories with Three Letters goes deep into the art, creativity and theories of one of the most exciting contemporary artists from Scandinavia.

Photojournalist Ake Ericson got to know many of those who took part and has since followed their fates through the asylum process.

In Everything Represents - Nothing Is: Ingmar Bergman and Art, Ingmar Bergman offers his opinions on the visual arts and the work of the artist. Since little has been published on the subject of Bergman's views and body of work, the book offers new insights into his legacy. He always insisted that he was not interested in the visual arts, especially not contemporary art. Yet, both art and artists are frequently present in his films. He keeps returning to, and appears to be struggling with, the question of the nature of art and its role in society. Regardless of Ingmar Bergman's own opinions, he has had a major influence on a number of artists. The book mentions, for example, works by Joseph Beuys and Ylva Snofrid that are based on Bergman's films and theatre productions, and Ragnar Kjartansson writes about his relationship with the director and his Scenes from a Marriage. Everything Represents - Nothing Is: Ingmar Bergman and Art, is published by Dokument Press in connection with an exhibition with the same name, a cooperation between Gavle konstmuseum and the Ingmar Bergman Foundation. The exhibition will tour Gavle konstcentrum, Fotgrafisk Center in Copenhagen and Kunstcenter Silkeborg Bad. Everything Represents - Nothing Is: Ingmar Bergman and Art is edited by Eva Asp and Bjorn Norberg. Picture editor: Helene Dahl. The book includes essays by Eva Asp, Ingmar Bergman, Jan Holmberg, Kristine Kern, Ragnar Kjartansson, Bjorn Norberg, Egil Tornqvist and Goran Wassberg. Included artworks are by Joseph Beuys, Maria Finn, Axel Fridell, Ragnar Kjartansson, Hanna Ljungh, P.A. Lundgren, Magdalena von Rudy and Ylva Snofrid.
