Mattias Camner
Infrastructure architect and curator, based in Stockholm.
Co-founder of Black Iris, an artist-run platform working with exhibitions, writing, and long-term artistic collaborations.
His work moves between systems and culture — focusing on structure, restraint, and durability.
In infrastructure, in exhibitions, and in text.
McAmner is a curated journal of films, objects, places, and observations.
“Since its inception, Black Iris has moved from strength to strength. Artwork from the artists on the platform is continuously displayed in Stockholm’s art scene. Under the Black Iris flag, one of the most attention-grabbing exhibitions was held this spring, Black Iris took over Gasverket during Stockholm Art Week. It was an extensive installation, a forward-looking vision that ignited a dynamic energy and resonated with the spectacular surroundings. Black Iris has previously exhibited at Alma and continues to be a driving force on the art scene. It is therefore extra exciting for Fenix to show the exhibition Skygazing.”
Black Iris
An artist-run platform founded by Mattias and Anna Camner.
The platform works with exhibitions, writing, and long-term collaborations, often in locations not normally accessible to the public. Its focus is on context — how work is encountered, framed, and experienced — rather than scale or spectacle.
Black Iris operates through collaboration rather than representation. The artists involved are connected by a shared interest in process, material, and sustained inquiry.
Since its founding, Black Iris has presented exhibitions in Stockholm that have received wide attention within the local art scene, including Explosive Vision at Gasverket during Stockholm Art Week.
