Gylleboverket is an artist collective and interdisciplinary platform for contemporary art, culture, and resilience, situated on a former building recycling depot in the rural countryside of Österlen, Skåne.
Scope and background:
The platform serves both as a creative workspace for artists, cultural practitioners, and researchers, and as an active venue for public engagement. Every year, a variety of public exhibitions, festivals, and workshops are hosted here.
The Gylleboverket artist collective works across various constellations with large-scale, site-specific installations, public art commissions, film, and social sculptures, often themed around social and land-based resilience. They facilitate workshops and lectures both at Gylleboverket and off-site, nationally and internationally.
Deeply connected to the site is the adjacent permaculture farm Båt i Skogen, where regenerative cultivation and gentle, sustainable living are explored. Forest gardens here feature one of Sweden’s first major nut orchards with sweet chestnut, walnut, and hazel alongside fruits, berries, and edible perennials. The farm also accommodates visiting artists and researchers while supplying many of Gylleboverket’s events with fresh produce directly from the land.
Folkets Bio at Gylleboverket:
Gylleboverket’s Folkets Bio is an independent community cinema run by its members, active on site since 2010. Single film tickets are available to everyone. Anyone who wishes to get involved as a member is warmly welcome to contact [email protected].
