Curator’s introduction

This is how curator Andreas Nilsson writes in an in-depth text about the exhibition “I Am Godzilla”:

“Entering into a Vivian Suter exhibition can be both bewildering and confounding as the multitude of paintings – over 350 in the exhibition at Moderna Museet Malmö – engulf you without a clear beginning or end. Yet if you allow yourself and your gaze to wander freely, you start to notice the colours, details, changes, overlapping. After a while your gaze sharpens. Parts of the suspended canvases bear traces of earth, leaves and branches. And in the seemingly abstract paintings, glimpses of motifs appear, like winding rivers, vegetation or a horizon. The works echo the seasonal and daily shifts in light and colour. Slowly, a non-hierarchical multifaceted installation emerges, where everything becomes one.”
