Nina Canell

Mid-Sentence

27.9 2014 – 6.1 2015

Stockholm

Mid-Sentence at Moderna Museet is Nina Canell’s first solo exhibition in Sweden. She has previously exhibited at a number of prominent international museums and institutions.

Canell’s works generally consist of materials that are normally used for specific purposes – such as nails, electricity, air, water, chewing gum and sound. In this exhibition, they trigger associations and encourage us to think of a place where something can be shared, altered or set off in an unexpected direction.

As part of the exhibition, the artist book Mid-Sentence by Nina Canell and Robin Watkins, will be published.

Curator: Fredrik Liew
