Nyförvärv, Göteborgs Konstmuseum
24 juni- 29 aug 2010
Göteborgs konstmuseum har en framstående samling av nordisk konst från 1800- och 1900-talet. Många av verken, som P.S. Krøyers Hip Hip Hurra och Picassos Akrobatfamilj, är välkända både i Sverige och internationellt.
I museets uppdrag ingår även att arbeta med samtidskonst och årligen utökas samlingen med ett antal verk. Under sommaren 2010 finns chansen att bekanta sig med ett urval av nyförvärv till museets samling. Verken är inköpta eller donerade under de senaste åren och presentationen rymmer verk av nu levande konstnärer.

——–
Självporträttet – en konstnärs dialog med sin egen spegelbild – är speciellt fascinerande. Genren har ett alldeles eget spår genom konsthistorien och säger ofta något om den tid de är gjorda i. Sommarens utställning fokuserar på det samtida självporträttet med alla dess motstättningar och frågeställningar. Hur ser konstnären idag på självporträttet? Vilken känsla ska förmedlas? Vad känns tillgjort och vad är äkta? Ett flertal inbjudna konstnärer ger genom utställningen sina skilda svar.

Cut my legs off and call me shorty!
Opening June 17th 17:00-21:00
Exhibition period: June 17th – September 19th 2009
Tensta Konsthall
Cut my legs off and call me shorty! is an exhibition that explores elements of humour and surprise. The thirteen Swedish based artists included work with ideas and ways of making that force us to look and look again. We may think we have understood an image but when we allow ourselves a closer examination there are unexpected twists, shocking details, hidden pratfalls, double and triple meanings. There are 5 artists showing in the main hall who work with photography, painting and illustration: Susanna Hesselberg, Ulf Lundin, Emma Rendel, Ulla West & Kristoffer Zetterstrand. The second part of the exhibition is a selection of Swedish video art curated by Gunnel Pettersson in association with Film Form and includes works from 1962 – 2009 and includes: Henrik Andersson, Reuben Henry, Tove Kjellmark, Karin Kihlberg, Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd, Malin Skjöld, Per Teljer, Christine Ödlund. We have taken the following quote by American writer E.B. White as good advice for the show. “Analyzing humour is like dissecting a frog. Few people are interested and the frog dies of it”.

A translated extract from PO Hagströms’ text:
Rescene: Kristoffer Zetterstrand at Haninge konsthall
Background
Kristoffer Zetterstrand was born in 1973, and graduated from the Royal University College of Fine Art in 2001. Since then, he has become well known for his visual art, where motifs from various epochs blend together, and where the investigative and the narrative are central parts.
Looking at Zetterstrands’ art, we often find ourselves in the middle of a story, as if we have stepped into the darkness of a cinema theater in the middle of the film. The brain starts to work, how does the different parts relate to each other? What does the deployed objects mean, and what relations are there between the main characters? We recognice the different parts: ruins, mountains, figures from renaissance and computer games, Plato’s cave and the enlighting or consuming fire – but there is also something askew in the images. We discover that the stories we have read into Zetterstrand’s motifs are like the enthusiastic but inadequate efforts of a conspiracy theorist, trying to make things make sense. It’s all connected, but something is not right. And it is that gap that keep us engaged.
The exhibition Rescene
The title of the exhibition is a play with words. It originates from reusal, or re-seeing, or perhaps a scene being brought back into use. And accordingly, the exhibition is also a recap of the paintings of the last few years, where Zetterstrand’s method of constructing different environments, like a scenoghrapher, is a recurring theme. To do this, he uses the computer as his scetching tool.
By three-dimensionally building the scenery, he can turn the image around and see it from all directions. He can also move around, remove and place different pictorial elements and then light the motif in different ways to see how the shadows move. After this, the painting can begin. Zetterstrand describes the painting as the part of the work process where he, with his own words, can allow himself to improvise upon the themes he worked out in the computer. This, therefore, is the most important part of the work, where the ideas are physically tested, as the brush meets the canvas.
