ARTIST TALK with INGRID GIERTZ-MÄRTENSON

Gallery Three


The exhibition ”Sweden in Ten Visions” poses a critical question: Can a dress reveal the essence of a nation?

Here the curator of the exhibition, Ingrid Giertz-Märtenson and designer Hjördis Agustsdottir will talk about the vision behind this new perspective of dress: using it to interpret the identity and values of Sweden. Ten phenomena in the disguise of ten dresses, characterizing Sweden, are presenting a new way of communicating the ”brand” of a nation.
