NAN GOLDIN “THIS WILL NOT END WELL”
Moderna Museet presents the work of photographer Nan Goldin as a filmmaker in a new retrospective
Stockholm, 29.10 2022 – 26.2 2023
The exhibition is comprised of: “The Ballad of Sexual Dependency” (1981–2022) her magnum opus, “The Other Side” (1992– 2021) a historical portrait produced as an homage to her trans friends who she photographed 1972–2010, “Sisters, Saints and Sibyls” (2004–2022) a testament to the trauma of families and suicide, “Fire Leap” (2010–2022), a foray into the world of children, “Memory Lost” (2019–2021) a claustrophobic journey through drug withdrawal and, “Sirens” (2019–2020) a trip into drug ecstasy.
Nan Goldin (born in Washington D.C. in 1953) is one of the most high-profile artists of our time. The exploration of the human experience in her work is legendary and has had a profound influence on subsequent generations. Her first work, “The Ballad of Sexual Dependency”, documents life in Provincetown, the Lower East Side, Berlin and London beginning in the 1970s and 80s and up to the present day. Goldin photographed the world of her inner circle of creative, bohemian friends with raw tenderness. Her photographs give us snapshots of intimacy and coupling, the quotidian and wild parties, the struggle between autonomy and dependency.
