Swiss Swedish Networking Apéro – ART EDITION
We’re adding a cultural twist to our new after-work tradition. On Wednesday, September 10, members of SwissCham Sweden are warmly invited to the opening of Gustav Hjelmgren’s exhibition, curated by Roland-Philippe Kretzschmar—Founder of The Art Bystander and Managing Director of SwissCham Sweden.
Just like our usual Apéros, this evening is all about relaxed conversations, interesting people, and building your network in a setting that feels natural. But this time, art takes center stage. You’ll have the chance to experience Hjelmgren’s latest works, which move between intensity and stillness, rhythm and playfulness—paintings that invite reflection as much as dialogue.
When: Wednesday, September 10, 17.00–20.00
Where: Blugiallo Tvåtrappor, Birger Jarlsgatan 2, Stockholm
Free for members and your invited guests. RSVP is required.
We look forward to sharing a glass of wine, expanding networks, and experiencing contemporary art together.

His practice—recently presented in collaboration with Eric Firestone Gallery in New York—has been noted for its meditative yet raw expressions.
