The Context
Orten är mest berömd för sin konstskola – Gerlesborgsskolan. Den grundades redan 1944 och sedan dess har många konstutövare slagit ner sina bopålar i området och organisationer såsom Konstnärernas Kollektivverkstad Bohuslän (KKV-B) sett dagens ljus.
BOTNIK STUDIOS
Botnik Studios has existed since 2007. Here, material from these years is archived. And this is a text about the archive: The ambition from the start was to create a film studio, but this resulted in an artist project in collaboration with artist-run galleries in Europe.
KKV
At the intersection of sea and mountain lies the Artists' Collective Workshop of Bohuslän, one of Sweden's 26 collective workshops and one of four of national interest. We are, as it seems, right in the middle of nature – but in fact, we are one of several hubs in a culture-dense environment.
