PROJECT - “SWEDISH FAMILY”

The exhibition “Swedish Family” was a special project in Moscow’s third Art Biennial at Moscow Museum of Modern Art, Petrovka street. 2009.
Opened by Zurab Tsereteli, director of the Russian Art Academy and founder of MMoMA and Lena Jonsson Cultural Counsellor of the Swedish Embassy in Moscow.
This project was supported by Uppsala Kommun (city community), Kulturkontoret.

The idiom ”Swedish family” makes people in Russia smile ambiguously. When Swedish people learn that it means that three people have an intimate relation, they are very surprised. At first, the name of the exhibition appeared as a joke during joint exhibitions of artists of both countries. Of course, no matter Russian or Swedish, it is clear that the family is a main theme in many artists works and that the contents can unite as well as separate.

The initiators and curators of the exhibition are the Uppsala HAKA group that consists of five artists: Anna-Karin Brus, Natasha Dahnberg, Agneta Forslund, Helena Laukkanen and Katarina Sundkvist Zohari.
HAKA has invited artists that work with different aspects of the contemporary family in their art to take part in the exhibition. Many artists open their private lives to the audience, narrate the story of their families. Life, death, love, sex, problems and easy living, all aspects of life.
HAKA has also selected artists who work in different techniques: painting, installations, video, photography, drawings, sculptures, objects and embroidery artworks. A exhibition rich in variation.

The conclusion is that we have to speak about different things in different ways. Here there is a little bit of everything, like in any family.
