Stig Claesson Centre : Slashus

Abstract: The Stig Claesson Centre at Nytorget is an art museum, a foundation and a meeting place with focus on Stig Claesson’s life’s work and artistic achievements. The Stig Claesson Centre manages the public legacy of Stig Claesson at Nytorget, Södermalm. The Stig Claesson Centre offers a relevant and challenging experience to both Claesson enthusiasts, locals, tourists, architecture fans and other curious visitors. The site, adjacent to Nytorget, is a natural junction between the new, gentrified Södermalm and the old working-class Södermalm that Claesson represents. The building facing the entrance to the Stig Claesson Centre called Malongen is where Claesson had his studio and where he worked for the mostpart of his life.
