Klara Kristalova
In the spring of 2012 Bonniers Konsthall presents the first large solo exhibition of the Swedish artist Klara Kristalova. Since her time at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm, Klara Kristalova has made the idiosyncratic decision to work primarily with ceramics. Her work has received a great deal of international attention, and now Bonniers Konsthall shows an extensive collection of her pieces, many done specifically for this exhibition. The catalog features an essay by British curator and journalist Tom Morton and a conversation between Klara Kristalova and Camilla Larsson, curator at Bonniers Konsthall.

A Trip to the Moon
The love affair between art and film started the moment the film camera was invented. A Trip to the Moon is an anthology, with contributions from writers and artist, who investigate the centurylong relationship.
A century after the first film experiments, moving image is an inevitable part of our visual culture, available to everyone. One could say that we have now reached the stage after film, a shift in technologies as decisive as the invention of film itself. A sad consequence of the invention of new technologies is that other techniques have to move to the graveyard. How those shifts, those births and deaths in the history of the moving image, influence and change art is the core in this book and the eponymous exhibition at Bonniers Konsthall 2012.

Translatability
What is a translation? Do we just translate words or do we even translate art? The anthology Translatability is a result of a cooperation between Bonniers Konsthall, Södertörns högskola and Albert Bonniers Förlag. Together with an exhibition and a seminar program the book aims at discussing the role of and limitations and possibilities with translatability in contemporary art. The book features new texts and newly translated texts.

Scene Shifts
Scene shifts is an anthology that arose in the meeting between art and theatre. The book is produced as a part of an extensive collaboration between Bonniers Konsthall and The Royal Dramatic Theatre of Sweden and is based on comtemporary art’s interest in theatre. Artists are writing scripts, working with actors, creating pieces of art that resemble plays or in other ways connect to the realm of theatre. Theatre is simultaneously interested in contemporary art’s free methods. With new and elder texts, combined with a rich amount of pictures from the exhibition Scene Shifts from the fall of 2010, an image of a deep relationship although not always free of conflict reveals itself. The love affair between art and theatre have given us and continues to give rise to new and innovative works of art.
