The Fly Trap
Fredrik Sjöberg's Swedish bestseller about summer, islands, freedom and boundaries. 'The light, the warmth, the smells, the mist, the birdsong - the moths. Who can sleep? Who wants to?' Fredrik Sjöberg finds happiness in the little things. Millions of them, in fact. This beguiling bestseller is his unique meditation on collecting hoverflies. It is also about living on a remote Swedish island, blissful long summer nights, lost loves, unexpected treasures, art, nature, slowness, and how freedom can come from the things we least expect. 'Full of charm, a book about how to find meaning in life' Melissa Harrison, The Times, Books of the Year 'I often return to The Fly Trap, it remains close to ...
The Art of Flight
'Although there is much in this world that is incomprehensible, you can nevertheless discover a meaning as long as you have managed to limit your field of search.' Fredrik Sjöberg - collector, romantic, explorer - spends his life tracing the smallest details of the natural world. In these two beautifully wrought tales he meditates on the joy of little things, childhood memories, long-forgotten Swedish entomologists, earthworms, wine-making, the National Parks of the United States, the richness of life and the strange paths it leads us on. 'Digressive, discursive and delightful' Daily Telegraph 'A joy . . . Fredrik Sjöberg's best-selling memoir The Fly Trap marked him as a maestro of the episodic. Here, he completes a trilogy' Nature 'Thoroughly entertaining, beguilingly uncategorizable ... By his own admission Sjöberg has a "butterfly mind" ... What insures this approach against triviality is the author's patient alertness to pattern, to telling correspondence' Nat Segnit, The Times Literary Supplement
The Art of Flight
Accidental Journeys with the Bestselling Author of The Fly Trap Stories just begin. We rarely know where and almost never why. It doesn't matter. Nothing is certain any longer. I just want to shut my eyes, point at random and say, as a sort of experiment, that once, when I was sixteen years old, I spent a whole night singing romantic songs in the top of a pine tree. That's where it may have started. Fredrik Sjöberg continues his exploration of the pleasures and trials of those who spend their time tracing the smallest details of the natural world in these two tales of ambition, fear and hapless romance. Calling on his childhood memories and experience as a hoverfly collector, and following the trail of long forgotten entomologists before him who left their native Sweden for the national parks of the United States, Sjöberg contemplates the richness of life and the strange paths it leads us on.

Edmund de Waal - Giorgio Morandi
The exhibition at Artipelag highlights about fifty works from Morandi?s career. The very earliest works are from 1921 and the latest from 1963. A significant portion of the Morandi paintings featured in the exhibition are still life of ceramic household items and there are also a handful of landscape paintings included. The paintings are complemented by drawings, etchings and watercolours, which illustrate Morandi?s artistic range.0De Waal?s characteristic series of porcelain pots shifts the attention from each pot to their grouping as a whole, the created spaces between them and how the viewer?s gaze flows through the art work.0Artipelag?s exhibition will be the first time that de Waal?s works are presented in Sweden and will include close to forty art works from 2012 to 2017. About ten of these works are new, stemming from a dialogue with the works of Morandi; de Waal has on numerous occasions emphasized Morandi as one of his greatest sources of inspiration. 00Exhibition: Artipelag, Gustavsberg, Sweden (07.04. -1.10.2017)
Mamma är galen och pappa är full : en essä om slumpen
En försvunnen målning dyker upp efter nästan hundra år. Den föreställer två deprimerade 15-åringar på Franska rivieran, kusinerna Hanna Gottowt och Lillan Arosenius, båda födda 1906. När Fredrik Sjöberg ser tavlan anar han genast att den döljer en berättelse. Flickornas mammor var systrarna Lisa och Eva från den stormrika familjen Adler i Göteborg. De var starka kvinnor med blick för excentriska, geniala, odrägliga män. Eva gifte sig först med Ivar Arosenius och sedan med Anton Dich, en dansk målare som ingen minns. Till bokens rika persongalleri hör även Antons vän Amadeo Modigliani. Männen dog unga, men kvinnorna kom alla att bli urgamla. Berättelsen växer till en familjehistoria om kärleken, slumpen och glömskan.
