20 Mar 2025 - 12 Apr 2025
The exhibition featuresd three artists: Clara Ketter, Sam Druant, and Rickard Eklund, exploring themes of desire, and change of perception.
Through their work, they investigate the thresholds between personal transformation and the boundaries between different planes of existence, whilst reimagining storytelling in liminal spaces.
The exhibition title, Beyond the Veil, is inspired by Rudolf Steiner’s Four Mystery Plays, written in verse guiding us in his philosophical thoughs on reincarnation and the battle between good and evil, with archetypal characters on a quest for spiritual enlightenment. The play emphasize on the existence of spiritual worlds beyond the physical world. In the context of the exhibition, Beyond the Veil is inscribed in transcending the boundaries between the material and spiritual realms and seeking encounters with unseen realities.

Sam Druant, (b.1998, Belgium)
Sam Druant earned her BFA in textile at the LUCA School of Arts in Ghent and a MFA in Fine Arts from HDK-Valand. She currently lives and works in Gothenburg.
Tufted wool is her medium of choice, with which she creates playful-naughty textile tableaus that question and/or mock male dominance. She starts conversations about identity, desire and the complexity of our human existence, combining texture, colour and subject matter in striking artworks that embrace subjects with pertinent sexual innuendo and questions.

Clara Ketter is a visual artist working interdisciplinary within sculpture and photography. She is currently completing her Masters in Fine art at Sandberg Instituut (NL) and works between Malmö and Amsterdam. She holds a bachelor degree in Fine art photography from HDK-Valand (SE).
Her work reflects on the fabrications and functions of storytelling, deriving from thoughts of the transient manner that narratives are constructed and altered through time, perspective and circumstance. She explores the liminal space where fictional narratives perhaps exist before they are manufactured, formulated and told.
