Filmform curated the video programme x2 for SSE Art Initiative and the two video screens on campus during autumn 2025 and January 2026.
The purpose of the programme was to present two different works by the same artist at the same time on SSE’s two film screens, broadening the audience’s knowledge of each featured artist, the breadth of their artistic practice, and the variation within video art.
The programme was curated by Anna-Karin Larsson and Andreas Bertman at Filmform.
The x2 programme presented two works by the same artist simultaneously on SSE’s two screens.
Firestorm Foundation is an independent non-profit organisation established in Stockholm in 2021 by Cristina Ljungberg. Its purpose is to address structural imbalances in the art world by strengthening the visibility, documentation, collection and long-term recognition of women and nonbinary artists.
The foundation combines collecting with knowledge creation. Its collection comprises around 200 works and brings together historical pioneers and contemporary voices, including Hilma af Klint, Tracey Emin, Yayoi Kusama, Louise Bourgeois and Ulla Wiggen. The collection provides a basis for research, publications, exhibitions and public conversations about artistic value, representation and cultural memory. Filmform is supported by the Ministry of Culture through the Arts Grants Committee and the Swedish Arts Council.
Firestorm Foundation works with museums, universities and cultural institutions to ensure that these perspectives reach different audiences. Its collaborators have included Moderna Museet, the Guggenheim Museum, the Swedish Institute in Paris and the Stockholm School of Economics Art Initiative.
