Get Mousse at home:
October 31~2010
Christian Andersson and Alexander Gutke, both based in Malmö, are colleagues, peers, and friends. Their respective practices, though distinct, draw them into dialogues and exchanges. Including newly produced and older works, the exhibition at Galerie Nordenhake Stockholm can be viewed as a curated presentation of these dialogues and exchanges.
October 29~2010
On 2 October, Moderna Museet opened the new edition of The Moderna Exhibition, its recurring inventory of the most interesting recent developments in Swedish contemporary art.
The Moderna Exhibition 2010 features 54 artists, 28 women and 26 men, who have made a strong impact on the Swedish art scene. Most of the works have never been exhibited to Swedish audiences, and more than half of the works have been produced specifically for this exhibition. The Moderna Exhibition is held every four years and is intended as an overview of Swedish contemporary art. The 2010 edition acknowledges that the heterogeneity of our era is also reflected in art. Consequently, The Moderna Exhibition 2010 does not have one single theme, nor does it propose that there is any technique or style that defines the current art scene. Instead, the exhibition highlights mutually enhancing disparities and gives viewers examples of what relevant artistic work can involve today: from various forms of documentary projects, explorations of painting and sculpture, to artistic research at universities.
“However, we have identified four different contexts where the roads of the 54 artists intersect: images of Sweden, discussions about authorship and narration, revisiting modernist formal idioms, and the ethereal and spiritual. Altogether, this represents what we consider to be the most interesting expressions of Swedish art right now”, says Fredrik Liew, curator of the Moderna Exhibition.

Over the last five years the Dutch artist Falke Pisano has steadily developed a series of works brought together under the title Figures of Speech. The cycle of works, of which a selection is presented in the project room of Extra City, can be described as the result of a detailed examination of processes that occur, when ‘objects’ start shifting their form, materiality, meaning, description, understanding, role, agency…
October 21~2010
Many of the works in ‘The Thing’ at Gallery Vela exist as idea or narratives that ask to be unfolded or revealed. A number of connections and relations between the objects are encountered through a series of clues that have been left behind during the materials past existence. Albeit in different ways, each work digs into the traditional conventions in portraiture, playing with formal aspects of titling.
October 19~2010
“Comme des chiens et des vagues” – Bojan Šarčević’s first exhibition at Modern Art – presents an extraordinary body of new work that expands on notions of autonomous sculpture and represented experience. Objects are intuitively formed and connected in such a way that the processes of reading and sense-making skip like a mirage, just out of reach of comprehensible grasp. Simple and complex elements coexist, and what might seem a known reference to shape or position meets with heterogenous material or a feel of slight dislocation…
October 19~2010
