Swedish Acquisitions: Insights
Stockholm, 5.2 2022 – 24.4 2022
Anguish, fragmentation, and the visceral flow like an undercurrent through Moderna Museet’s first exhibition of the year – a selection of works from last year’s major acquisitions project. The initiative, which the museum has given the name Swedish Acquisitions 2021, resulted in the collection of 373 new works by 168 artists.
For the first time, about sixty works from Swedish Acquisition 2021 will be presented in a group exhibition that opens in two stages during the spring. The first part, Insights, has the ambition to highlight art’s ability to be open and empathetic while expressing disagreeable and painful states. In several of the works, the home is of crucial importance alongside works which emphasize a physicality in connection with grief and healing.
