IN THE BEST OF ALL POSSIBLE WORLDS
Swedish artist Peter Johansson (b. 1964) takes in his exhibition the icons of swedish culture and folklore into new life. Johansson deconstructs national identity and it´s formation processes using playful humour as his weapon. The focus of the exhibition is the ten-meter tall church which will be placed proximate to the museum. The exhibition is produced in collaboration with Borås and Odense Art Museums.
