In the summer of 1986, lying on a backyard lawn in Montauk, New York, David Neuman and Robert Weil discussed the excitement and energy of the Soho art scene. Great art created by great contemporary artists exhibited in dilapidated buildings consisting of former warehouses and factories. Could this be replicated, or even pushed towards a further manifestation in Stockholm, where a new audience would benefit from exposure to art that had never been shown in Sweden previously, in an environment that was far from their usual expectations? The challenge was set. Magasin III opened in Stockholm\u2019s former Free Port in 1988 with Five American Artists<\/em>.

Magasin III Jaffa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On January 20, 2018, Magasin III Jaffa opened its doors for the first time with zerubbabel –<\/em> a solo exhibition with Israel-born American artist Haim Steinbach<\/strong>. The exhibition marks the launch of a diverse program that will feature both international and local artists in Jaffa, greater Tel Aviv. Magasin III Jaffa is located on 34 Olei Zion a residential neighborhood that borders with Jaffa\u2019s famous flea market at the center of the Christian, Jewish and Muslim populations of Jaffa. The site was chosen for its location as well as architectural qualities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The space has been carefully planned so that exhibitions can be viewed at any time of the day or night, curated with a special emphasis on also being viewed from the outside.<\/em>“
David Neuman<\/strong>, former Director and Chairman of Magasin III.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Director of Magasin III Jaffa,\u00a0Karmit Galili<\/strong>,\u00a0says:\u00a0“This is a truly exciting addition to our city. The satellite defines Magasin III\u2019s longstanding involvement with the cultural scene in Israel. The area where Magasin III Jaffa is located has a rich and mixed history and we are very much looking forward to contributing to it and engaging with new audiences.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accelerator<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Accelerator is an exhibition space for art, science, and societal issues with a mission to engage actively with society.

The exhibition space opened to the public in September 2019 and presents international and Swedish contemporary art at Stockholm University in the Manne Siegbahn laboratory. Accelerator produces exhibitions, screenings, talks, and interdisciplinary projects connecting the humanities, social science and science departments.

Accelerator emerged from a long-standing and successful collaboration with Magasin III, within the MA programme in Curating Art at Stockholm University. Accelerator was initiated by David Neuman, former Director and Chairman of Magasin III, and Margaretha Thomson, professor emeritus of art history. In 2015, the vice-chancellor of Stockholm University, Astrid S\u00f6derbergh Widding, officially founded Accelerator and the activities were launched. Magasin III and The Robert Weil Family Foundation are Founding Patrons. Richard Julin is the Artistic Director at Accelerator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“Magasin III\u2019s commitment to the Curating art program at Stockholm University has existed from the very beginning\u2014planning the program was personally an incredibly important phase in my life. It is with an overwhelming degree of pride that I see all these promising curators working in the cultural sector today. Many of <\/em> ‘our<\/em>‘ curators have become colleagues, dear friends, and not least strong visionaries for our profession. An ongoing success story\u2026<\/em>“
David Neuman, former Director of Magasin III and one of the founders of the Curating Art program.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Information from Stockholm University:
<\/strong>The international Master programme Curating Art is a two-year curatorial education established and developed in 2003 as a joint enterprise between Stockholm University at the Department of Art History and managed through a systematic collaboration with affiliated curators, mainly at Magasin III Museum for Contemporary Art. Its full name \u2013 Curating Art: International Master Programme in Curating Art, including Management and Law \u2013 reflects the curator\u2019s internationalised, professional role and job market. With this as starting point, we wish to focus on the presentation and understanding of art and art exhibitions, including aspects connected to management, organization, institutional frameworks, and legal issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
