Artoteket is like a library, but for art.

Artoteket RUT is the second edition of the project, framed by poetic and political questions on the body and the domestic sphere.

The art in Artoteket RUT:

The curatorial framing of Artoteket RUT is an attempt to approach questions and dislocations related to the notion of the public and the private, the home and political power and the human and her lived environment. Artotekets historical background is the biopolitical turn, visible in the turn away from the political ambitions of the establishment of Artotek 73 (financed by the swedish art organization Konstfrämjandet in the 1970’s) and the tax deduction for domestic services introduced to swedish tax payers by the swedish governement in the early 2000s.
