“The incomparable Karl Holmqvist,” Rirkrit Tiravanija calls his colleague and friend in a coming portrait film, and Karl Holmqvist (b 1964) certainly is like no one else. But that does not mean that his works were created in, or portray, their own, isolated universe. On the contrary, quotes, echoes, repetitions and revisions – input and output – ...

Ulla Wiggen (b. 1942) is an artist with a fastidious and highly idiosyncratic output. During 1964-1969, she made only some 30 paintings, most of which represent the interior of various electronic devices. Some are straight-forward depictions, revealing existing connections, others are her own combinations of components from different sources.

The Girl, the Monster and the Goddess
Stockholm 20 April 2013 - 1 December 2013
In 1960, Niki de Saint Phalle aimed a loaded shotgun at her own work and pulled the trigger. Encapsulated bags of paint under a layer of plaster exploded and made the works bleed like a human being. These ShootingPaintings (Tirs) were widely acknowledged, and Niki de Saint Phalle developed them into large-scale reliefs and altarpieces against the ...

Tala Madani (f. 1981) arbetar med måleri och animation. I sitt arbete diskuterar Tala Madani politiska ämnen som inkluderar maktstrukturer, maskulinitet och gruppdynamik. En kontrast, mellan humor och allvar, lek och hård verklighet är återkommande i Madanis konstnärskap när hon målar upp ritualliknande, ofta absurda situationer som pendlar mellan ...

Tidpunkten när ”pop” som konstbegrepp föddes, kan preciseras nästan på dagen. ”Pop Art” var det omdebatterade ämnet för ett symposium den 13 december 1962 på Museum of Modern Art i New York. Då hade konstnärer i Storbritannien och USA sedan 1950-talet ifrågasatt etablerade traditioner och hierarkiska strukturer genom en ny estetik, hämtad från ...

Le Corbusier (född Charles-Édouard Jeanneret år 1887) betraktas av många som 1900-talets mest betydelsefulla arkitekt. Hans del i framväxten av en internationell, modern arkitektur och stadsplanering kan knappast överskattas. Trots det har Le Corbusier inte uppmärksammats i Nordeuropa med en utställning som omfattar hela konstnärskapet – förrän ...
