Nicole Eisenman and Edith Hammar

“My Eyes Are Like Funnels, My Ass Is a Hand” holds play, filth, intimacy and vulnerability, becoming an infinite surface for the imagination to run free. The exhibition mirrors the artists’ personal and critical ways of relating to body and creative work, while also offering a peek into the artistic process.

Nicole Eisenman’s sculptural installation “Maker’s Muck” (2022) is a new acquisition by Moderna Museet, portraying the artistic process. A plaster figure, bent over a potter’s wheel, sits at the centre of the installation, lost in thought and engaged in endless creation. With this work, Eisenman sketches out creative experimentation, a joyous but strenuous practice that requires both courage and perseverance.

Edith Hammar has been invited to create a site-specific work on walls and floor, the drawing “Hot and Slutty Giants” (2024). The images display giant characters who lose themselves in desire, pleasure and pain. In their work, Hammar explores the feeling of loss of control in different environments and situations. The drawings show a vision of life and love where every day hostilities, discomfort and disappointments are reimagined into a world where one can belong.

“My Eyes Are Like Funnels, My Ass Is a Hand” is exhibited in Moderna Museet’s completely new exhibition space, located to the left of the entrance to the restaurant on floor 4.
