Index

Index is a contemporary art gallery in Stockholm that grew out of the Swedish Photography Center, founded in 1974. Originally specializing in photography, the institution expanded its activities over time and moved from Malmskillnadsgatan to Sankt Paulsgatan in Södermalm in the 1990s. Under the name Galleri Index, it presented international artists such as Wolfgang Tillmans and Kara Walker, as well as up-and-coming Swedish talents. Alongside the gallery, the publication Bildtidningen developed into an important forum for art criticism, later evolving into NU-The Nordic Art Review. Since 2005, the gallery has been housed in a converted laundry room at Kungsbro strand 19 on Kungsholmen. Here, Index shows not only current work by artists such as Johanna Billing and Dora García, but also places historical works in a contemporary context. In the compact rooms, you'll find a curated mix of international and Scandinavian contemporary art, ranging from photography to other artistic practices.
