Details from the work „Reading A Reflection“ shown at Platform, Stockholm. I find lots of meaning indulging in those connections. How does this thick wool-knit fold around the metal bars and what holds it in place? Lots of bare textures and selected rough edges in this installation, too. The second image shows one of the subtle reliefs referencing the watermarks typical for copyrighted photos. Working with generated imagery, the question of ownership and novel creation hovered above it. In order to achieve something where property feels embedded in the material, much of my experimentation at the TextielLab revolved around the atypical approach to achieve a pattern that is independent from the image depicted. Fun fact: one of the engraved smiles on the wooden carts is copied from a drawing I did 7 years old of a sun-like character. The other one is corporate. Full documentation is now also featured on the Kuba Paris website if you prefer galleries-only advertising.

Last weekend to visit Eavesdrop at Platform Stockholm.
Open Saturday & Sunday, 12–4 pm.
Boldly patterned and installed as a suspended, flaring form, Nicola Arthen’s tapestry unfolds within Eavesdrop like a spatial image in motion. Digital collage is translated into woven texture, while the work’s underside reveals attached notes and images—inviting viewers to move around, beneath, and alongside the piece.
As noted by C-print, Arthen’s tapestry is “installed impeccably like a psychedelic wave in a corner,” contributing to the exhibition’s selection as one of the Top 10 exhibitions of 2025.

Last weekend to visit Eavesdrop at Platform Stockholm!
Detail and installation views of Rodrigo Red Sandoval’s sculptural work in Eavesdrop.
Composed of bundled data cables and industrial fastenings, the work condenses infrastructures of communication into a compact, bodily form. Suspended between circulation, containment, and exposure.
Open Thu - Sunday, 12–4 pm.
On view until 18 January 2026.

Views of Rodrigo Red Sandoval’s sculptural work in Eavesdrop.
Using found and industrial materials, Sandoval assembles objects that quietly register systems of surveillance, energy, and control. Everyday elements — a chair, a camera, a lamp — are reconfigured into attentive structures, where domestic familiarity meets technological unease.
Eavesdrop was selected as one of the Top 10 exhibitions of 2025 by C-print, an online journal devoted to contemporary art based in Stockholm.
The exhibition is open this weekend, Saturday and Sunday, 12–4 pm, and remains on view until 18 January 2026 at Platform Stockholm.

Boldly patterned and installed as a flaring, suspended structure, the work unfolds like a wave within the space. Its surface carries digitally generated imagery translated into woven form, while the underside reveals attached notes and images — an unexpected layer that invites closer inspection and movement around the work.
In Eavesdrop, Arthen’s tapestry aligns with Rodrigo Red Sandoval’s sculptural assemblages, creating a dialogue between textile, found materials, and the physical presence of technological systems in everyday life.
Selected by C-print as one of the Top 10 exhibitions of 2025, Eavesdrop is on view until 18 January 2026 at Platform Stockholm.

Reading A Reflection
2025
Collage from generated images, machine-knitted wool, cotton and filling yarn, steel rig, photos as C-prints, wooden carts with engravings, working pants, lights and sensors (760 x 160 x 145 cm) On view in a duo-show with @rodrigoreds in Stockholm @platformsthlm until 18. January 2026
This installation is based on a large Jacquard-knit and depicts different spaces connected to imagination and memory and how these are shaped by generative technologies. I am interested in textile as a mobile image – something hovering between a depiction and an object, something pictorial and sculptural at the same time. The way a work is attached, how it is joined to a space is crucial to my practice.
Thanks to @loumouw@hnnhaltmann@stichtingniemeijerfonds@fonds_kwadraat for your support as well as @mondriaanfonds via the “Artist with Child” voucher.
