Hem = Home

Abstract

The 'Home' exhibition is an exploration of the rooms we live in - rooms for memories and rooms for caregiving, rooms for withdrawing from society and rooms caught between two worlds, and rooms where the sense of safety has been upended. Home includes more than a hundred works from Malmö Art Museum's collection of art, crafts and design. Together they form a constellation of different stories about what a home can be. The catalogue includes a documentation of the exhibition with essays written by the curators Malin Forssell, Anna Johansson and Anne Thomasen and a wealth of photographs of works by artists such as Karin Mamma Andersson, Nina Beier, Nadine Byrne, Meta Isæus-Berlin , Linnéa Carlsson, Charlotte Gyllenhammar, Caroline Harrius, Gustaf Helsing, Annika Elisabeth von Hausswolff, Carl Fredrik Hill, Berit Lindfelt, Britta Marakatt- Labba, Carl Larsson, Maria Miesenberger and Per Wizén. A new monologue by Ida Börjel and new essays by Carsten Schjøtt Philipsen and Katarina Wadstein MacLeod contribute poetic, theoretical and historical views that broaden and deepen our understanding of the home as a place and an idea. The 'Home' exhibition is one element of a methodology at Malmö Art Museum in which contemporary works from the collection are combined to create a dialogue that illuminates topical social issues and establishes a basis for new perspectives and insights. Exhibition: Malmö Art Museum, Sweden (12.03.-06.11.2022).
