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.

Participating artists:
Helena Laukkanen, Anna-Karin Brus, Katarina Sundkvist Zohari, Agneta Forslund, Natasha Dahnberg, Anders Krisar, Nina Svensson, Per Enokson, Roland Persson, Catti Brandelius, Gerd Aurell, Mona-Lisa Eriksson, Johan Thurfjell, Knutte Wester, Marina Fomenko, Maria Ivanova Gribina, Tatiana Antoshina, Taisiya Korotkova, Alexandr Pogorzhelskiy, Anastasia Koznetsova-Ruf, Nika Kukhtina, Maria Pogorzhelskaia, Natalia Zintsova, Tatiana Antoshina och Maria Krasnova Shabaeva.

The idiom «Swedish family» makes people in Russia smile ambiguously. When Swedes get to know the connotation that the idiom has in the eastern neighbor’s language, they are very surprised and try to find explanation.

At first, the idea of the exhibition has appeared as a joke during the joint exhibitions of the artists of both countries. Only later it has become clear that the theme of the family, no matter Russian or Swedish, is characteristic of many artists’ oeuvres. The theme can unite as well as separate. The initiators and curators of the exhibition are the Uppsala haka group that unites five artists Helena Laukkanen, Natasha Dahnberg, Anna-Karin Brus, Katarina Sundkvist Zohari, Agneta Forslund.

We have tried to invite the authors who touch upon different aspects of the theme in their art, to take part in the exhibition. The most important thing is to explore what is the contemporary family. Is it a single mother, waiting for spousal support, or a homosexual couple with kids from previous marriages, or a refugee family, waiting for residence permit… or a young couple, who has given birth to two kids and bought a new house, or happy older husband and wife surrounded with children and relatives, or a childless couple, who has adopted twins?

Relationships in the family are the very part of the research that has the largest space. Many artists open their private lives to the audience, narrate the story of their families.
The research of the family is done using various methods.

The exhibition presents documentations of performances, installations, primers, pencil drawings, sculptures and embroidery artworks… We have selected the authors who use very different forms of the contemporary artistic language.

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