Rapper Yung Lean Tells Us About His Major New Art Exhibition

From Barnhusbron in central Stockholm, Jonatan Leandoer Håstad’s name is currently difficult to miss. A building-sized green wrap covers much of the former Stockholm Gasworks at Torsgatan 22, tiled with fragments of his paintings above the words “Collected Works 2016–2026.” The early 20th-century Art Nouveau complex, originally built for the city’s gas and water works, is now the site of the first major exhibition devoted entirely to the visual art of Håstad, better known as the rapper Yung Lean. It runs from September 25 to October 11.
