Olafur Eliasson and Frans Jacobi
About the catalogue
This catalogue marks ten years of Stalke Galleri and brings together visual documentation, reflections, and textual contributions that collectively portray the gallery as a practice in constant motion.
At the core of the publication is a conversation between Olafur Eliasson and Frans Jacobi, which revolves around Stalke as a site for experimentation, relationships, and ongoing negotiation rather than as a fixed institution. The conversation does not function as a historical account, but as a reflective approach to how a gallery can take shape over time—between programme, openness, and commitment.
The catalogue also includes a textual contribution by Torben Ebbesen, adding another perspective on artistic practice and its conditions. This contribution operates as an independent strand within the publication, expanding its reflective space.
Taken as a whole, the catalogue does not present a closed narrative, but an archive in motion—a testimony to Stalke Galleri as a framework for artistic development rather than a fixed structure.
