Stockholm, May 2025


High above the bustling streets of Vasastan, on the 16th floor of Norra Tornen, HAS - Helix Art Space is launched - a new art platform for contemporary art, technology and idea-driven meetings. The initiator is curator and entrepreneur Daniel Daboczy , former co-founder of FundedByMe and active in both the art world and the innovation sector.

HAS is not a traditional gallery. It is a space where the visual meets the conceptual - where the boundaries between art, sound, technology and entrepreneurship are stretched and challenged. HAS draws inspiration from the raw energy of Berlin, the precise rhythm of Tokyo and Singapore's creative faith in the future, and the self-confidence of New York - but remains anchored in the cultural soul of Stockholm.

First up: Only for the Wicked - a total audiovisual experience signed by the internationally acclaimed artist couple Nathalie Djurberg & Hans Berg.

The exhibition consists of seven animated films that together form a fragmented drama where identities, roles and balances of power are constantly shifted. Victims become perpetrators, and perpetrators become victims - depending on which film is played. Each work exists in its own psychological logic, where desire, guilt, control and beauty merge in a world where the familiar quickly turns into the foreign. For each animation, Hans Berg has composed a unique soundtrack for church organ - a sound world that breathes, reacts and mutates in step with the shifts in the stories. The music is independent but at the same time interconnected; a living organism that gives the films a bodily, almost ritual presence. It is art that does not seek confirmation - but questions. Evil is never unambiguous, and pointing out the outside always also means pointing inward.

The exhibition is shown in dialogue with the brutal architecture of the room, signed by Rem Koolhaas and OMA, which reinforces the experience of an existential landscape in constant transformation.

12-15 June 2025
Vernissage Thursday, 12 June 16-21 (afterparty at Klotet/Gondolen)

“We created HAS to blur boundaries - between art forms, between art and technology, between creativity and entrepreneurship,” says Daniel Daboczy. “Art should not be an isolated island but part of the city's pulse and innovative power. Here we want to create a platform where artists and entrepreneurs can together explore new ideas, test brave concepts and build the cultural landscape of the future. HAS is the place where the conversation about the art and society of the future begins, with open doors for experiments and new collaborations.”

“We want contemporary art at HAS to exist high above the city and at the same time be deeply rooted in conversations about our time and its challenges,” continues Daboczy. “It’s about creating a place for courage, curiosity and change - where art is not just shown but lived and allowed to act as a force for innovation and social renewal.”

During the year, HAS will invite to exhibitions, performances, conversations and gatherings where the art world meets the unexpected.
