Exhibition THE CABINET, Lisa Stålspets – TA EMOT
In SKÅPET at Busstorget, the exhibition Ta Emot? About the exhibition: Receive it says in the form of a fluttering ribbon, like an important message from above. Lisa Stålspets (b. 1978 in Stockholm) works with exhibitions as a form of assemblage, with works in different techniques such as painting, drawing, sculpture and text. Often she examines the complex dynamic between seeing and being seen.
As in a mirror
The exhibition as in a mirror shows portraits spanning five centuries. Here, women, men and children who lived in or worked for Sweden from Vasatid to today are introduced. The artworks show different ideals of appearance and fashion and are expressions of how ideas about status, social identity and profession have changed over the centuries. The exhibition is on display from 4 October 2023
