The magazine Fält was published 1-2 times a year by Art Lab Gnesta from 2012 until 2019.
Fält was a magazine that concerns the interactions between contemporary urban culture and rural areas. Based on the artistic production and presentations carried out at Art Lab Gnesta, we wanted to create a springboard for discussions about art and society, often with a certain focus on environmental issues. The magazine followed our activities and often described a collaboration or a specific topic.
