Bella Rune's 'Planet' Explores Simple Machines at Galleri Magnus Karlsson

Galleri Magnus Karlsson in Stockholm is hosting Bella Rune's third solo exhibition, titled 'Planet'. The show features new works that traverse two and three dimensions, including sculptures, objects, and works on paper. The Swedish word 'planet' carries multiple meanings—planet, airplane, or surface—reflecting the ambiguity central to Rune's practice. Her recent works focus on simple machines: basic mechanical devices like levers, inclined planes, wedges, screws, wheels and axles, and pulleys. The 'Planet' series consists of works on paper that engage in a playful dialogue with geometric, non-representational forms. Rune uses everyday, tangible elements to aim for expansive concepts.
