Stockholm, Stockholm, Stockholm
Last week the art centre was part of an event called Stockholm, Stockholm, Stockholm. Along with Moderna Museet, Magasin 3, Bonniers Konsthall, Index and four commercial galleries, Milliken, Nordenhake, Andrehn-Schiptjenko and Magnus Karlson we invited 25 of the world’s leading curators, critics and collectors to a V.I.P. 72 hours of art in the city.
The event exceeded all expectations and our guests I believe were bowled over both by the variety and quality of what they saw. With new exhibitions opening at almost all the venues the event was quite a show and included the lush new Dali / Vezzoli at Moderna, Life Forms at Bonniers and Sol Lewitt and Smadar Dreyfus at Magasin 3 and Matti Kallioinen at Milliken to name just a few. For our part we presented the penultimate day of the exhibition Cut My Legs Off and Call Me Shorty along with a Punjabi curry lunch, bags of sweeties and bottles of pop! The response we got from our visitors was wonderful and many expressed that they would have liked to have had more time at Tensta. The whole project was a tremendous success and critically important in firmly placing Stockholm as one of the epicentres of international contemporary art. We are proud to be part of initiatives such as this and we look forward to next years event!

According to critics, the
According to critics, the total website design services commercialization of all fields of society, the privatization of public space, the acceleration of consumption and waste of resources including the negative influence on lifestyles and on the environment has not been noticed to the necessary extent. The “hyper-commercialization domain names of the culture is recognized and roundly detested by the citizenry, although the topic scarcely receives a whiff of attention in the media or political culture”.[81] “The greatest damage done by advertising is precisely that it incessantly demonstrates the prostitution of men and women who lend their intellects, their voices, their artistic skills to purposes in which they themselves do not believe, and …. that it helps to shatter and ultimately destroy our most precious non-material possessions: the confidence high speed internet service in the existence of meaningful purposes of human activity and respect for the integrity of man.The struggle against advertising is therefore essential if we are to overcome the pervasive alienation from all genuine human needs that currently plays such a corrosive role in our society. But in resisting this type of hyper-commercialism we should not be under any illusions. Advertising may seem at times to be an almost trivial of omnipresent aspect of our economic system. Yet, as economist A. C. Pigou pointed out, it could only be ‘removed web development altogether’ if ‘conditions of monopolistic competition’ inherent to corporate capitalism were removed. To resist it is to resist the inner logic of capitalism itself, of which it is the pure expression.
