In 2002 Thomas Wallner assumed responsibility for the exhibitions at Kabusa Konsthall outside Ystad. He collaborated with the founder of Kabusa Konsthall, Lars Lundin, to create what was to become one of the most important exhibition sites in the south of Sweden, known not only for its art but also for its beautiful space and location. During the five years they spent together at Kabusa Konsthall, before it was sold in early 2007, they exhibited among others Torsten Andersson, Filippa Arrias, Jakob Dahlgren, Kristina Eriksson, Anna Finney, John F Franzén, Astrid Göransson, Trond Hugo Haugen, Leif Holmstrand, Bo Hylander, Lisa Jeannin, Hans Jörgen Johansen, Clay Ketter, Oskar Korsár, Noah Lyon, Kristina Matousch, Elina Merenmies, Sirous Namazi, Andreas Poppelier, Nina Roos, Sigrid Sandström, Anders Sletvold Moe, Astrid Svangren and Magnus Wallin.

Now Galleri Thomas Wallner is back in Malmö opening a new space at Adelgatan 5. The focus of the gallery continues to be to show the work of emerging artists.
