Markus Bengtsson and Friends Skate the Malmö Art Gallery in New Video ‚OooOoO Malmö Sessions‘
Friend of TWS, Markus Bengtsson sent us over this awesome video he recently shot during the EHM [Event Horizon Malmö] exhibition by Koo Jeong A at Malmö Konsthall. Markus and a handful of skaters had the opportunity to skate inside the Malmö Art Gallery on a super unique, well-crafted skateable installation and the sessions looked pretty unreal. Take a look:
How fun does this setup look? This is definitely one of those once in a lifetime sessions. I mean, really, when else are you going to get to skate inside the Malmö Art Gallery!? From concept to completion, I’d say this was quite a success. There’s just something about skating a perfect little bowl inside of an art gallery that makes me a little envious. Anyone else? And Markus did an incredible job capturing the vibes.
The clip features a wide variety of rippers in the Malmö skate community, each who deserve a shoutout: Moa Zander, Emil Olsson, Hugo Håkansson, Anton Lind, Stella Knutagard, Melissa Zabihi, Dylan Flucher, Carl Tage Sjöberg, Albin Hjellström, Jonas Hedlund, Moses Nour, Karl Johan Jacob “JJ” Nilsson, Guillaume Lambert Blanc, Mimmi Leckius, John Dahlquist, Axel Källmén, Jonathan Sendborn Pohlin, William Krysell, Douglas Meurling, Matheo Royale and Alex Elfving.
What is the ‚OooOoO Malmö‘ Exhibition?
„EHM [Event Horizon Malmö], the summer 2024 exhibition at Malmö Konsthall, consisted of ”OooOoO Malmö” (2024): a skateable sculpture constructed entirely of wood. The Korean artist KOO JEONG A, who represents South Korea at this year’s Venice Biennale, worked with Malmö Konsthall’s distinctive exhibition space and created a star-shaped sculpture wedged between the building’s supporting columns. Malmö Konsthall built the exhibition upon the vision of architect Klas Anshelm to use the space as a playing field for artistic experimentation. It was also an invitation to the unique skate community of Malmö that gathered on the square outside the Konsthall during the summer months.“
Respect to Markus and this crew for seizing the moment and sharing it for all of us to enjoy. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again—you just never know where this goofy little wooden toy with wheels can take you! Keep exploring, and never stop searching.
