Matts Leiderstam – Prince Eugen’s altar painting and the relocation of Kiruna church

Prince Eugen’s Waldemarsudde
2025-11-15 — 2026-03-15In collaboration with Kin Museum of Contemporary Art in Kiruna, Waldemarsudde organises this research-based and conceptual exhibition by and with the artist Matts Leiderstam (b. 1956). In the large studio, Leiderstam focuses on the creation and significance of Prince Eugen’s fascinating altarpiece from 1912 in Kiruna Church, but also on the work’s relationship to the landscape, architecture, lighting conditions and the performative. The exhibition includes a number of preliminary studies by Eugen for the altarpiece, which are here brought together with a number of newly produced works by Leiderstam.
