Building




Ceiling


The hall was designed by architect Klas Anshelm, who was inspired by the Paris studio of the sculptor Constantin Brâncuși. It is constructed of concrete, glass, wood and aluminium. The ceiling is made of domes with natural and artificial light sources.
The light well has a large sloping skylight admitting northern light.[1] The building was awarded the 1974 Kasper Salin Prize.


The gallery was renovated in 1994, connecting the older brick building next door (the Hantverkshuset, or Craft Building) with the exhibition hall, and thus gaining space for a book store selling books, posters and postcards, a children’s area and a restaurant that offers south Swedish food.[3]



Exhibitions


The hall arranges exhibitions of international work that included modern art classics and current experiments.[1]
Usually there are about ten different exhibitions each year, attracting over 200,000 visitors.
Exhibitions of well-known artists have included Edvard Munch, Van Gogh, Louise Bourgeois and David Shrigley.[3]
Other exhibitions have shown Kandinsky, Klee, Joan Miró, Giovanni Giacometti, Keith Haring, Andres Serrano, Peter Greenaway and Tony Cragg.[4]
As well as painting and sculpture, the hall is used for events such as theater performances, films and lectures.[3]
The Malmö Konsthall also organizes many educational activities for adults and children.[4]


A travel guide says of the center "In our view, no other venue in southern Sweden so effectively mingles contemporary architecture with modern paintings".[5] Another guide says "even if there was no art there, would be worth visiting for its use of light and space".[6]

Run scheduled task as local user group (not BUILTIN)

Image
0 I am trying to run a scheduled task with User Group (not a single user). This is working fine when I in the field "when running a task, use the following user account:" insert BUILTIN User Group (for example: Administrators or Users). But when I try it with the created Local User Group (example: TestGroup) it is not working. The Users in the TestGroup are the same as in the Administrators group. What could be the problem? Are there some restrictions to the Created User Group compared to BUILTINUsers? scheduled-tasks taskscheduler windowstaskschedule share | improve this question asked Nov 15 '18 at 15:36 Far...
