Stockholm Art Week
We are open today and show the exhibition
COMPLEMENTING REALITY with
HELEN CLARA HEMSLEY & METTE SAABYE
Two countries, two biographies - one shared narrative. Draw on their childhood and youth in the 70s and 80s, weaving together personal experiences and global events. Their work reflects both: connection and distance - gently filled with care and respect.
With support from The Swedish Arts Council.
’Complementing reality’ is supported by the Danish Arts Foundation, Danmarks Nationalbank’s Anniversary Foundation and Copenhagen Goldsmiths’ Guild.

COMPLEMENTING REALITY med Helen Clara Hemsley & Mette Saabye
PLATINA, Stockholm 9. April - 30. April 2026
Udstillingen blev vist i München under den internationale smykkeudstilling Schmuck i marts og kan nu opleves hos PLATINA, Stockholm.
Med afsæt i personlige erfaringer og minder fra opvæksten i 70’erne og 80’erne arbejder de to kunstnere med smykker som fortællinger om tilhørsforhold, relationer og forbindelser på tværs af tid og sted. Gennem rejser i Danmark og Sydafrika har de samlet materialer, indtryk og historier, som danner grundlag for værkerne. Et fælles projekt om at spejle hinandens verdener – og udfylde hullerne med omsorg og nysgerrighed.
Man–fre 11.00–18.00
lør 11.00–15.00
Adresse: Platina, Tegnérgatan 4, 113 58 Stockholm, Sverige
