During the winter of 2017/2018, 6-8 of Swedish artist Alexander Tallén's (b. 1988) porcelain figurines are displayed in the dome of the Thiel Gallery. The installation will be in dialogue with Karl-Axel Pehrson's ceiling painting from 1978, as the painting's imaginary plants and animals encloses the figurines in a dreamlike landscape.
