Magasin 3 Stockholm (by Natalia Urbanska)

Magasin 3 opens again on the 3rd of February with an exhibition by Ai Weiwei. Don’t miss!

Just finding Magasin 3 is an adventure, hiding in a warehouse at the 1st floor. Standing in the large elevator you keep asking yourself if this really is the right address. It is! There are three new exhibitions this fall/winter.

…Yeah it’s a bit outside of town but easy to get here thanks to the direct buses to Frihamnen. It’s so worth going! Just their little café makes the trip worth going, their cafe latte is d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s.

It’s very cheap and your ticket lasts the whole season. They have free guided tours every Saturday at 14.00, which I really recommend.

My favourite exhibition here so far is “Gravity, be my friend” by Pippilotti Rist’s, which was shown here last year. Downstairs you could lie down on massive cushions and watch calm and melancholic video installations in the ceiling. One was of beautifully colored leaves falling straight on you. It was a very special feeling just laying there next to strangers, watching something simple yet so affecting.
