Pennygångens Konsthall is a nomadic exhibition project based in the Pennygången housing estate in Gothenburg. Founded in 2026 by Ina Porselius and Clara Aldén, the project explores how contemporary art can engage with the places and conditions of everyday life.

Pennygångens Konsthall’s inaugural exhibition is a group exhibition exploring the home and family life as subject, experience, and site. By staging the exhibition in a private apartment, the artworks are brought into dialogue with the environment from which they emerge. Visitors encounter the works in a lived-in home, where traces of everyday life and the rhythms of family life become integral to the spatial experience of the exhibition.

To visit the exhibition, visitors ring the doorbell and are welcomed into the family’s private home. The encounter between viewer and artwork takes place in an intimate, everyday setting, where the boundaries between the private and the public are temporarily renegotiated. The apartment is therefore not merely a neutral container for art, but an active component of the exhibition itself, giving the project a performative dimension.

The inaugural exhibition also marked Pennygångens Konsthall's first curatorial collaboration, bringing together invited artists whose works engage with questions of home, family, and everyday life. Installed in the apartment where one of the founders and her family continued to live throughout the exhibition period, the exhibition blurred the distinction between domestic space and exhibition space. Works were placed in relation to the rooms, objects, and situations from which they emerged, allowing the home itself to become an active participant in the exhibition rather than merely its setting.
