Index – April 2026

April 2026

Harun Farocki on view until Sunday 12 April

Two weeks remain to visit Harun Farocki: VIDEOGRAMME EINER REVOLUTION (2026)! The rich program of public events connected to this historical exhibition has brought Farocki’s works in further dialogue with the contemporary, through many strands and discourses.

The program has featured a conversation on curating Farocki’s work between his longterm partner and collaborator Antje Ehmann and the curator of the 2006 exhibition at Index, Helena Holmberg; a screening and talk by Kamal Aljafari, filmmaker working with found images, as Farocki did, in collaboration with Tempo documentary festival, and a one-night artistic program screening three films by Eline Benjaminsen and Dayna Casey, Nomeda and Gediminas Urbonas, and Tekla Aslanishvili, and a complementary offering of bread by artist Jens Masimov, arranged by Krisztián Gábor Török and Una Mathiesen Gjerde.

As spring arrives Index will remain open over Easter with special opening times (see below!) Come by and spend time with the films that Harun Farocki left at Index after his exhibition twenty years ago.

Ongoing and upcoming at Index

Ongoing: Glimpses of process in Pontus Pettersson's AIR

Pontus Pettersson’s year long exhibition and artistic occupation at Index continues. Works in the exhibition space at Index change daily; some objects stay longer, others are ephemeral traces, placed in the room as a memo for the artistic process, a note-to-self which is visible for visitors and the Index team alike. The accumulation of traces includes printed traces of poetry, zine serialisations of Pontus’ scores, and frequent notes, sometimes aphorisms, which are printed on clear tape and that appear and move around the space, adhering to different surfaces.

This layering constructs a mutual witnessing of process; Index team and visitors to Index witness the rhythms and markers of Pontus’ artistic practice, while Pontus observes and interacts with the workings of the institution. More performative public moments will occur during the spring!

Upcoming: Agnė Jokšė: REALITY CRACKS
Opening: 24 April
17:00-20:00

Opening Friday 24 April, Agnė Jokšė’s first solo exhibition in Sweden centres around a new film work titled Karjeristė, in which a newly developed script recontextualises footage filmed several years ago. Through text and image, Jokšė constructs new grammatical and linguistic frameworks to investigate and critically portray the limitations of language itself.

Agnė Jokšė (b. 1993) is an artist and writer currently based in Vilnius. Using the tools characteristic to autoethnography, Jokšė tells stories in which personal experiences and past events related to contemplations of love, intimacy, relations and friendship intertwine with imaginative reflections. Works in the mediums of video and performative text often investigate questions concerning parallel histories, compassion, entangled relations, queerness and language.
