OPI Lab functions as a satellite to the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm. Our base is OPI premises in Gröndal but we have access to facilities, workshops and staff at the school.

OPI Lab operates a year-long multidisciplinary advanced course and serves as the research environment for other artist-researchers, including a PhD fellow.
At OPI Lab we develop the field Artistic Living Environment. We work and research through practice based experimentation and scale 1:1 prototyping, developing new works and methods to investigate the potential of art to occupy, shape and transform our living environments.

Our methods are multidisciplinary in nature and relates to all actors and stakeholders that are involved in the development of our living environment, but from an art perspective.
The work at the OPI Lab is led by artist and professor Jonas Dahlberg. Artistic research in the field takes a variety of forms: conceptual, spatial, activist, participatory and so on.  

Open Call. Each year in February / March we seek a new multidisciplinary group of 16 professional practitioners to join our course that starts early September. Read more about the course and application process here.
