MALMO.- In the exhibition, new productions, works by contemporary artists, and pieces from the Moderna Museet Collection meet. The show features installation, sculpture, performance, film, photography, and painting, spanning across various eras. Many of the works, related to theater and drama, reflect an attitude where spontaneity, direction, or perhaps randomness, collide.

Skåne-based Jenny Kalliokulju’s new work “MAMAN or THE TONGUE” includes large-scale painting and sculpture and culminates in an opera performance in February 2025. It captures the cycles of everyday life, where lament, hope, and deep love coexist. Kira Nova & Ignas Krunglevičius’s new video piece “The Idiots” oscillates between the sensual and satirical. Through a Dadaist sense of humor, socially rigid structures are liberated, and expectations are overturned.

“The exhibition approaches the absurd with an open mind. The artworks are chosen for how they highlight art’s liberating power, using humor as one of its tools. When the subtle meets the expressive, something fragile emerges – a tear in the fabric of the everyday, leading the gaze in new directions”, says the exhibition’s curator, Andreas Nilsson.

The participating artists take us to situations and states beyond reason and logic, while reflecting a time where fiction and reality blur. Together, they present a theater of life’s incomprehensibility on the stage of the everyday, uniting resistance with a quest for freedom.

The exhibition design has been created in collaboration with artist Laura Kaminskaitė, who also contributes with works to the exhibition. A publication will be released in connection with the exhibition opening.

Participating artists: Monster Chetwynd, Karl Dunér, Jenny Kalliokulju, Samson Kambalu, Laura Kaminskaitė, Pope.L, Kris Lemsalu & Johanna Ulfsak, Kira Nova & Ignas Krunglevičius, Filip Vest.

From the Moderna Museet Collection: Eva Aeppli, Enrico Baj, Marcel Broodthaers, René Clair, Karl Dunér & Peder Freiij, Robert Gober, Sigurdur Gudmundsson, Joan Jonas, Greta Knutson-Tzara, Tetsumi Kudo, Kris Lemsalu, Ralph Eugene Meatyard, Francis Picabia, Man Ray, Marion Scemama, Dorothéa Tanning, as well as documentation by Hugo Ball, Tetsumi Kudo, Sophie Taeuber-Arp.
