Anna Molska at Malmö Konsthall

Anna Molska
Malmö Konsthall / C-salen
22.4 – 30.5 2010
Born in 1983, Anna Molska graduated from the art academy in Warsaw two years ago and has already attracted great attention for her films. The films have an unusually distinctive visual poetry and are often highly suggestive. She consciously uses a visual language which alludes to the aesthetics and culture of the former East bloc. Above all, she draws on the manifestations of Russian abstract art from the beginning of the 20th century – Suprematism and Constructivism – which tried to embrace all aspects of life in their activities. The belief was that art should participate in the creation of society. Molska’s images are full of such echoes from the past, which are an important part of Poland’s history today.

Ed Ruscha at Moderna Museet

Ed Ruscha: 50 years of painting
Moderna Museet Stockholm
29 May 2010 – 5 September 2010
Ed Ruscha’s paintings are ambiguous and provocative, recycling scraps from popular culture and redefining established genres. Was he one of the first pop artists, a trailblazer for conceptual art, a late surrealist, a pioneer of postmodernism, or – actually – a bit of everything?

Lee Lozano at Moderna Museet

Lee Lozano. Paintings, drawings and social investigations
Moderna Museet Stockholm
13 February 2010 – 25 April 2010
“Ideas are the most powerful thing in the world.”
Lee Lozano, 1970

For the first time, Lee Lozano (1930-1999) is presented to a Nordic audience. This American artist, whose original and provocative oeuvre is still unknown to the general public, especially in Europe, was part of the 1960s art scene in New York, an “artists’ artist” in the midst of her contemporary avant-garde. In the borderland between pop art, minimalism and conceptual art, she created powerful, independent works in a context that was dominated by male artists.
