REALITIES
Östergötlands museum, Linköping, Sweden, 2022
Realities invites visitors to explore a fresh perspective on art, challenging traditional notions of categorisation and hierarchy. Through a selection of works from the museum’s collection, the exhibition highlights that all collections are, by nature, fragmented and subjective, offering only partial views of art’s vast landscape.
At the heart of the exhibition lies a fundamental question: “What is art?” Traditionally, art exhibitions have focused on artists’ biographies, artistic movements, and specific time periods. These narratives often assume a pre-existing, sophisticated understanding of art’s role in society, presenting it as something distinct from everyday life and positioning artists as either geniuses or rebels. Realities aims to shift this perspective, encouraging visitors to question these conventional frameworks. For those already familiar with art, the exhibition offers new and unexpected insights. Meanwhile, those less acquainted with the art world will discover that art is both more accessible and more complex than they may have initially thought.
By breaking down elitist barriers, Realities equips visitors with the tools to look beyond the surface of traditional art history, fostering a deeper, more personal understanding of what art can be.

THEATRE COSTUME
ABECEDARIUM OF ILLUSIONS
ABECEDARIUM OF ILLUSIONS
Scenkonstmuseet, Stockholm, Sweden, 2025
Scenkonstmuseet's largest temporary exhibition to date takes visitors into the world of theatre costume—from A to Z. Structured as an abecedarium, each letter opens a new perspective on one of the stage's most intimate and least-seen arts.
The exhibition unfolds a world of skilled hands, extraordinary materials, and the quiet magic that happens long before the curtain rises. Visitors meet the tailors, milliners, and costume textile artists who translate a director's vision into cloth and thread, and follow a costume from its first sketched outline, through fabric selection and fitting-room negotiations, to the moment it steps into the light and becomes a character. How does a silhouette shape a role? What does a collar communicate that words cannot?
Featuring around 100 costumes drawn from Scenkonstmuseet's own collection, theatres across Sweden, and private loans—each piece a document of performance, collaboration, and craft.

THE SHAPE OF TIME: ART AND ANCESTORS OF OCEANIA FROM THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART
The National Museum of Qatar, Doha, Qatar, 2023
Over 120 works from The Met’s unparalleled collection tell the story of creative expression and innovation over the centuries throughout the Pacific Islands.
The Shape of Time takes a fresh look at the visual arts of Oceania to explore the deeply rooted connections between Austronesian-speaking peoples. The artefacts on display are noted for their artistic and historic value, varying from wooden sculptures to items of personal adornment and textiles.
Rather than conform to a strictly linear or regional presentation, the installation demonstrates the interconnectedness of Pacific Islanders and their rich cultural heritage by presenting clusters of artworks in cultural groupings within three thematic sections: Voyaging and the Ocean, Ancestors and the Land, and Time and Agency. Each of these sections explores ideas pertinent to the expansive visual language of Oceanic art and anchors the art in an overarching conceptual landscape.

FLAGSHIP
FLAGSHIP
Stockholm, Sweden, 2023
MUSEEA collaborated with Swedish luxury rug maker Kasthall to create a store interior that reflects the brand’s artisanal craftsmanship and attention to detail. The theme for this immersive shopping experience was bouclé, with its distinct, textured loops serving as the inspiration for both the material palette and the overall design language.
The space is defined by soft, curved forms and a muted, natural colour palette that accentuates the tactile quality of the materials. All custom installations throughout the store were crafted using Kasthall’s own textiles, reinforcing the connection between the brand’s products and the space itself. The combination of rich earth tones and textured surfaces gives the interior a warm, inviting atmosphere, encouraging visitors to engage with the space both visually and physically.
The subtle interplay of light and shadow highlights the intricate details of the bouclé textures, making the space feel dynamic and alive.

GROWING KOPI, DRINKING QAHWA
The National Museum of Qatar, Doha, Qatar, 2023
The National Museum of Qatar, Doha, Qatar, 2023
The exhibition invites the visitor to go on a journey to discover the history and cultural traditions of coffee in Qatar and Indonesia. Both countries have a long-standing relationship with coffee, rooted in its cultivation and trade. After being cultivated and consumed for centuries in the Arab world, coffee became popular in Europe in the 16th century. To overcome the Arab hold on the plant, the Dutch undertook growing coffee in their colonies, starting with the island of Java in Indonesia.
Growing Kopi, Drinking Qahwa is organised into five thematic sections, including growing and drinking coffee, sustainable farming, workers’ rights and colonialism, as well as social and cultural development. The exhibition was organised in partnership with the National Museum of Indonesia to mark the Qatar–Indonesia 2023 Year of Culture.

EVERYBODY
DANCE!
Scenkonstmuseet, Stockholm, Sweden, 2020
Dance has always been a part of social life—bringing people together at gatherings, in daily life, and at celebrations, both indoors and out. Dance is a unifying, physical, and intimate force.
Everybody Dance! is an exhibition that explores how dance strengthens identity and connects generations. Traditions are passed down, while new dances spread globally in an instant through the internet. Some fade quickly, while others endure for decades.
Throughout the exhibition, visitors are invited to participate and dance their way through, creating their own connections to the rhythms and movements on display.

WE ARE THE REMIX
Röda Sten Konsthall, Göteborg, Sweden, 2017
We Are the Remix is a celebration of diversity and borderlessness through a visually captivating and immersive multi-sensory experience. The exhibition brings together some of the most distinguished modern artists and filmmakers into a shared and unifying architectural world, bursting with colour, structure and topography. Central to the vision was a miniature cityscape which unfolded within the main ‘Cathedral’ space of the Röda Sten Konsthall, complete with buildings, squares, balconies and viewpoints.
The design invited visitors into an imagined sensory landscape, making full use of the gallery’s generous volume. Brightly coloured translucent sheets were suspended from the ceiling, both to emphasise the height of the building and to focus on the natural flow of daylight through the large windows. A raised floor enabled visitors to enjoy the beautiful river views over the Göta Channel—accompanied by the comfort of deckchairs and refreshments from the kiosk. This unique landscape encouraged visitors to absorb the curatorial narrative of the exhibition.
Over 80% of the materials used in the exhibition were reused afterwards. MUSEEA is dedicated to reducing the environmental footprint of the art world, and conscientiously ensures that, where possible, materials are reused, recycled or rehoused.

FORTH, THE FUTURE OF ORTHOPAEDICS
Hässleholm, Sweden, 2020–present
FORTH, The Future of Orthopaedics is a new cutting-edge healthcare facility dedicated to advanced orthopaedic care.
MUSEEA was commissioned by the Skåne region of southern Sweden to create a facade artwork for this groundbreaking new building. The artwork draws inspiration from the rolling landscapes of Hässleholm and Skåne, as well as the organic curves of the human body. These flowing forms are mirrored in both the facade and the courtyard, creating a visual language that harmonises with the surrounding architecture and natural environment. The design underscores the scientifically recognised healing power of nature, bringing its soothing presence closer to both patients and staff, enhancing their physical and mental well-being.
Further inspired by the intricate beauty of nature's fractal patterns, the facade features perforations that transition from large to small, echoing the repeating patterns found in ferns, spider webs, and tree branches. Research shows that such fractal patterns can stimulate and enhance brain activity, contributing to a calming and restorative environment.
