For the last several years, the Swedish artist Felix Gmelin has been interested in artworks that have literally been destroyed in museums, galleries, or other public spaces. In Art Vandals, Felix Gmelin reinterprets twelve works that have been subjected to vandalism.

The exhibition was first produced for Riksutställningar (Swedish Travelling Exhibition). This website uses the documentation of the exhibition, and invites you to add your own comment based upon the material.
The website is the result of a collaboration between Rosebud Artist Cooperative and Association for Temporary Art, and made possible thanks to Johan van der Hoeven (johan@rosebud.com) that has created the java application.

The exhibition consists of twelve works:
