The art of Marie Louise Kold – exhibitions
UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS:
• The Gunnar Norrman Inspiration – solo exhibition October 11 – November 2, 2025, at Jäger & Jansson Galleri in Lund, Sweden.
You can read more about the Gunnar Norrman Inspiration project here. This short video also describes the project very well.
I moved to Baldringe in southern Sweden in 2020 and proceeded to build a large studio which has given me the possibility to not only create large scale art, but also exhibit the works professionally in my studio. The heavy nature of my art, as well as frequently working on commissioned pieces, mean that out-of-studio exhibitions will be less frequent than they were during the decades leading up to 2020. Upcoming and current exhibitions – whether in my studio or elsewhere – will be shown on this page. If you would like to book a visit to my studio, please check here.
If you would like to be invited to future exhibitions, please sign up for my newsletter and I’ll make sure you receive invitations and, a couple of times a year, other news relating to my art.
A catalog of past exhibitions will be created when there’s a lull in the workload (although… admittedly there hasn’t been one in the last 25 years). In the meantime, here’s a look back at a few exhibitions in recent years:
2023
“Tillfälligt Hemma” – Temporarily Home – was a solo exhibition in Gnosjö in Sweden. The exhibition opened on Friday October 6 and ended on Sunday October 15. I moved to Gnosjö when I was nine and this special town with its amazing ingenuity, helpfulness and entrepreneurship affected me in so many ways as I grew up there. Check out the full exhibition details here.
2021
“TRANSIT” solo exhibition at STUDIO in Malmö, took place in December 2021. This exhibition had been in the making since 2016 and was made up of artworks created from the 115 year old copper towers from the old “Centralposthuset” (Central Post Office) in Malmö. Please see this page for more information.
My “VÄXT” solo exhibition at JÄGER & JANSSON Galleri in Lund, Sweden, in the fall of 2021 was a large, themed exhibition. “Växt” is Swedish for life force, as in “plant” or “growth”. The works are all made of etched and patinated copper, brass and bronze. Copper mushrooms sprout in some of the works, delicate flowers spread, and lichen and barnacles emerge from folds of the metal. Read more about the exhibition here.
2020
2020 was a year of transition on many levels. I worked on my Transit exhibition, a huge project that has captivated me completely. The exhibition was originally planned for September 2020 in Malmö, Sweden, but given the “transition” the world has gone through this year and the current uncertainties, I have decided to shift it to 2021. Another aspect ot “transit” is that I have moved to a dream location east of Malmö. I now live surrounded by trees and meadows and my new amazing studio is currently taking shape here, right next to my home in the most inspiring surroundings possible. I look forward to welcoming you here!
2019
I spent this year working on commissions as well as Transit. This demanded all of my time, so aside from the Open House at my studio, I only had one very special exhibition, WORDS, with record-breaking sales in support of freedom of speech. There was also a very special adventure in 2019… one that resulted in 82-year-old Lennart, a true MacGyver, getting a much needed lathe. And I, along with the friends that made it possible, got the experience of a lifetime. The story is here, and trust me, it’s worth a read.
2018
After years of preparation and intense work, I showed my metal books and other works at my EX LIBRIS exhibition in Valletta in May 2018. In October 2018 my portrait of assassinated Maltese journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia was unveiled by then President Antonio Tajani at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, where the portrait now hangs permanently by the Press Conference Room, named after the fearless investigative journalist.
