Inspired by historical panorama paintings and cycloramas, Loulou Cherinet has created an installation that envelops the viewer and where we must navigate in the motif. It is not only an image of the urban space but also a representation of the system we built our society upon. At the same time as it can be perceived as protection, it can also be experienced as if it closes the viewer in.
This exhibition presents a selection of Mannheimer’s own works, along with works by the Nordic modernists she supported, such as Isaac Grünewald, Gösta Sandels, Sigrid Hjertén, Vera Nilsson, Jena Heiberg and Henrik Sørensen. Among the motifs are portraits with vibrant colours, decorative interiors and stylized landscapes.
Lee Bul is considered one of Asia's most important artists and the exhibition contains a selection of works with an emphasis on sculpture. She is mainly interested in questions about utopia, order and power in relation to the body, materials and architecture. By breaking up temporal and spatial orders in different ways, she examines ideals, body, architecture and vulnerability in our globalized world.
“A Divided Life” is an exhibition of work by the groundbreaking German-Swedish artist Lotte. Lotte Laserstein (1898–1993) is one of the art world’s most exciting recent rediscoveries. Exhibitions of her work in Germany have attracted broad audiences eager to explore this long-forgotten artist and have established a place for her in the history of twentieth-century art. However, these shows focused primarily on Laserstein’s work from the 1920s to the beginning of the 1930s – the period before she was forced to leave Germany and emigrate to Sweden. “A Divided Life” focuses as much on the multifaceted works she created in exile in Sweden as it does on those she made before leaving Germany.
“Design creates emotion. Emotions become memories. From memories come ideas, ideas return to design – I believe that design and memory are in a single cycle, and that each is the same energy in a different state.“ This is how Akira Minagawa describes the core idea, the circular flow, related to the forthcoming exhibition Design=Memory.
Besides Edvard Munch, Harriet Backer was Norway’s most influential artist in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Backer was one of the most prominent colourists and portrayers of light and atmosphere in interiors.
In “Seven Rooms and a Garden: Rashid Johnson and The Moderna Museet Collection”, the work of American artist and filmmaker Rashid Johnson is in conversation, confrontation, and sometimes collusion with the collection of Moderna Museet.
This exhibit brings together some of the many visual worlds and artistic expressions that coexisted during the major social changes of the early 20th century.
The Gothenburg Museum of Art's painting Olive Grove, Saint-Rémy (1889) by Vincent van Gogh is part of a series of fifteen works with the motif of olive groves that van Gogh painted during a period at the end of his life when he stayed in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. During the years 2019-2022, the painting has been part of a unique international research and exhibition project where all paintings in van Gogh's series of olive groves have been analyzed in depth. Now the Gothenburg Art Museum's work Olivskog, Saint-Rémy is shown separately together with a film where the results of this research are presented. The film gives an insight into the conservatory analysis work behind the scenes but also an art historical context to van Gogh's work.
