Barnkalaset
Victoria Olsson at Lusthuset in Spökparken
17-19 September 2026

A children’s party that spirals into the most atrocious of sins.

Balloons, frosting, paper crowns, and somewhere between the third slice of cake and the last game, the descent begins. Inspired by Dante Alighieri’s The Divine Comedy, Victoria Olsson turns the nursery table into a circle of its own: every sin drawn by hand, then printed onto polyester. Staged in Lusthuset, a garden belvedere built around 1700 as a place of pleasure and idleness.

Victoria Olsson, b. 1995, is a Stockholm-based textile artist with a Bachelor’s degree in Textile from Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design, and a Bachelor’s degree in Cultural Entrepreneurship from Uppsala University.

In her practice she explores the duality between the beautiful and the grotesque, the fragile and the brutal. Through textile materials and techniques, Olsson creates works where these opposites are allowed to exist side by side, where the beautiful is not necessarily innocent, and the grotesque not always entirely repellent.
