In Tensta, some 6,000 flats share space with Iron Age graves, rune stones, one of the Stockholm region's oldest churches, a former military training ground from the early 20th century, and the nature reserve, Järvafältet (Järva Field).

The gallery also cooperates with local organizations such as the Ross Tensta Upper Secondary School, the women's group, Livstycket, the library, and the Kurdish Association.

This has been followed up by new seminar series, formulated by questions such as “What does social practice do?” and “What does art theory do?” Recent exhibitions at Tensta konsthall include • “Abstract Possible: The Stockholm Synergies,” with Doug Ashford, Claire Barclay, Goldin+Senneby, Wade Guyton, Mai-Thu Perret, Walid Raad, and Haegue Yang, among others • “Kami, Khokha, Bert and Ernie: World Heritage” by Hinrich Sachs • “Doing what you want: Marie-Louise Ekman accompanied by Sister Corita Kent, Mladen Stilinović, and Martha Wilson” • “The Society without qualities” with Sören Andreasen, Ane Hjort Guttu, Sture Johannesson, Sharon Lockhardt, and Palle Nielsen (part of “The new model” and curated by Lars Bang Larsen) • “Working With...” by Zak Kyes • “We are continuing BBDG” with Bernd Krauss • “Two Archives” by Babak Afrassiabi and Nasrin Tabatabai Other projects at the gallery include “The Bidoun Library,” “Katitzi: A literary figure with roots in reality,” and the one-day performance, “T.451” by Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster and Ari Benjamin Meyers.
