Detriti is a not-for-profit, artist-run gallery located in Göteborg. It was founded in November 2022 by Göteborg-based artists Angela Melito, Carl Söderström, and Danielle Goulé, with the goal of reactivating unused spaces in the city by placing them in the hands of artists.
Detriti is an itinerant, nomadic gallery, currently located at Risåsgatan 10 in Göteborg.
The name Detriti, the Italian word for “debris”, holds significant meaning for the space and its artistic direction. In archaeology, detritus refers to the accumulated debris or fragments of material culture left behind by past civilizations. In this sense, it has served as the starting point for the gallery’s curatorial vision.
We understand the challenges artists face in developing their practices and aim to create a supportive network at any stage of their career, Detriti provides a platform to showcase their work through open calls, group exhibitions, and solo shows, while engaging with a diverse range of practices to promote a varied and dynamic program.
