In the fall, Färgfabriken produces a big solo exhibition with the artist and animator Niki Lindroth von Bahr (b. 1984) – a contemporary, complex and diverse artistry. The exhibition includes sculpture and film as well as the premiere of the new short film also called Something to Remember.

Lindroth von Bahr has a unique style, both in regards to content and expression. Her films and sculptures often tell a kind of melancholy modern fables where animals act in an ordinary but at the same time absurd world, which in every way resembles our own. The common and well known is made alien and distanced, while through the actions of the animals we can see and understand our own human characters and behaviors. 

Although it is not the artist's ambition to promote a political view, a significant interest in social and politics issues becomes evident in both action and form in her work.
