Tracking Traces was a group exhibition that delt with questions surrounding aesthetics and politics through the themes of urban life and popular culture in the visual arts.
Mythos Kindheit – an exhibition dealing with childhood at the Hus für Kunst Uri in Switzerland, featured Gyllenhammar's work The Spectators. The term childhood brings to mind various, sometimes opposite notions such as innocence, purity, and paradise, as well as fear, helplessness, and failure.
In the visual arts the motif of childhood, as a mythological and utopian place, is often used as a frame of reference for self-investigation or self-assessment. The exhibition Mythos Kindheit explored the way in which contemporary artists reflect upon and visualize the theme of childhood.
Mythos Kindheit traveled to Patricia Aasbeck's gallery
CCA Andratx in Mallorca, Spain. For details about the exhibition please read the news article above or click on the link below.

The exhibition entitled Give Me Shelter explored man's changing relationship to the world's natural resources through new sculptural work and installations located on the beautiful grounds of the National Trust's grand 18th century mansion, in Attingham Park.
Eleven artists were invited by the visual arts commissioning organisation, Meadow Arts, to present work that examined our contradictory relationship with the natural world: we exploit and ruin it, yet we romanticise it and rely upon it to provide us with shelter from cataclysmic disasters linked to global warming and increasing pressures on resources. Give Me Shelter also included works by Christina Mackie and Susan Grant among others. For more information please visit Meadow Arts website: www.meadowarts.org
