- The idea was that we wanted to do something big with the factory premises, but now we start a little smaller and develop gradually, says Isabelle Bergstrand, project manager.

On Sunday, the exhibition opens, where also the established artist Albin Wiberg from Västervik shows a large number of his newly painted paintings. The art is adapted to the environment in which it is to be displayed, but also reflects the situation in the world with the ongoing pandemic.

- I think many people come here both to see what is hidden in these old factory premises and to see the art.

The room most important

Albin Wiberg has exhibited in New York, Budapest and Stockholm, among other places. And now in the mill town of Edsbruk with almost three hundred inhabitants.

- The premises and the space you exhibit in are usually more important than the place itself. I like the countryside where people are interested in going and visiting pretty much anything that happens.

Keep track of security

Isabelle Bergstrand, who runs an art café in the town, came up with the idea of ​​creating a kind of art gallery on the premises. She has been involved in the process and has also ensured that security works.

- We will of course limit the number of visitors if needed. We have also cleaned up and made sure that no loose objects can fall down. And put up signs for emergency exits, she says.

The exhibition runs throughout the summer with free admission.
