What is "paletten"

Paletten is Sweden's oldest and longest-running art magazine, now in its eighth decade of continuous production. It is published quarterly in the Swedish language by Stiftelsen Paletten (the Paletten Foundation), located in Gothenburg.

Initially Paletten concerned itself primarily with local issues but, over time, broadened its scope to feature national and international art. Paletten portrays the art scene, presents artists and their work, and initiates discussions, almost always as an alternative to mainstream culture. Issues often have particular themes or subjects: from trends and art theory to critiques of government art policy. Paletten collaborates with selected artists in producing each new issue.
