Installation view (in)visible 23 Jun - 30 Sep 2021
Malmö Statsarkiv, Malmö City Archives
What happens when we look at an art collection from a queer perspective? In the exhibition (in) visible explored this.
During the summer, you can experience three works from Malmö Art Museum's exhibition (in) visible at Malmö City Archives. It is Axel Karlsson Rixon's photo series Tourism, a digital work by Lena Mattsson, and porcelain objects by Matts Leiderstam.
Breakfast for Everybody 1997 by Lena Mattsson
In Breakfast for Everybody, she paraphrases Edouard Manet’s painting Déjeuner sur l'herbe (The Luncheon on the Grass) from 1863. Mattson has used Manet’s painting as a starting point, a matrix, but altered the context and situation. The nude women in Manet’s work are replaced with nude men, and the women are fully dressed. The camera in the video work is static, and the “painting” takes place in the front of it. In this way Mattsson challenges gender roles, norms and power structures in the past and present.

Kan homofobi kontras genom andra känslor? På Malmö Konstmuseum visas ”(in)visible”, där verk med queer tematik utforskar växelspelet mellan frånvaro och närvaro. Charlotte Wiberg ser en utställning där de känslomässiga verken lämnar störst avtryck.
