ANNIKA VON HAUSSWOLFF
EXHIBITION DATES: SEPTEMBER 13 - OCTOBER 19, 2002
OPENING: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13th 6 - 8 PM
This will be Annika von Hausswolff's first solo exhibition in New York since representing Sweden in the 1999 Venice Biennial. Through a new series of color photographs the artist presents compressed dramas that play with and against an array of visual structures.
From documentary and reportage photography to traditional pictorial landscape paintings, von Hausswolff creates images that mediate the viewer's experience through allusions to the history of images. Consequently, the photographs exhibit their power to stimulate, condition, and connect with our innermost desires and instincts. The artist continues examining an altered view of the world through this new series of photographs with her precocity for the uncanny. The absent narratives suggest dreams or imply stories that have the ability to at once seduce and provoke its viewers.
This series of photographs is also on view at Andrej-Schiptjenko in Stockholm, Sweden. In February 2003 the artist will open her solo show at Statens Museum for Kunst, The Danish National Gallery in Copenhagen, Denmark. Previously, von Hausswolff exhibited work at Art Basel, Artist Statements, 1998 and participated in the Biennial of Sao Paulo, Brazil in 1996.
