Mynningsladdare, Muzzle Loader or Musket, is the title of the current exhibition of street art at the Röda Sten exhibiton centre which I visited yesterday.
Columns
On the ground floor the cafe was serving its popular vegetarian Sunday lunch. Families and students were eating and meeting between the graffiti-painted columns.

Discussing Blue
One floor up, the street artist Blue (aka Carolina Falkholt, also the curator of the exhibition) was responsible for this wall of blue painted metal panels entitled Mynningsladdare.

Dödslack 2013
This room was graffiti-ed with flourescent paint and illuminated with strobe lights. The work is called Dödslack which could mean Dead Slack or Death’s Lacquer … or possibly something like Deadly Anger if ‘lack’ is used in a slang sense. The artists are Blue and Nug.

Smiling woman
Finally, this older example of graffiti – ink on paper pasted to the wall – has been exhibited (if that’s the right word) for several years on the wall of the staircase at Röda Sten. Artist unknown. The artist is Swoon.
