Ilja Karilampi
(*1983, Göteborg)

In Lima, Peru, for the exhibition “Non-space” curated by Silvana Lagos, Karilampi created a series of reflective vinyl covered glass works, which reflected his time on Avenida Mexico; a street with only foil and sign shops. Essentially a storyteller, his output over the years has been like an odyssey: reflecting his aesthetical interests in glamorous social realism and exploring the role of the producer. Through the platform Tre Kronor, he is curating the premiere exhibition “Babyfather” in Solna Business Park.

Recent shows include “Narcotics”, Temnikova & Kasela, Talinn (2020); “Malmö Sessions”, Carl Kostyal, Malmö (2019), “Westafrican Roadmovie”, Erik Nordenhake, Stockholm (2018); “ARS 17”, Kiasma, Helsinki (2017); and “The Chief Architect of Gangsta Rap”, MoMA PS1, New York (2011)
