TAKEAWAY 2023
THE DAYDREAM BELIEVER EXHIBITION
13/5 - 17/6 2023
Curated by Anne Klontz.
Everything is possible in a daydream! One can imagine travelling to unknown universes, pretend to be someone or something else, reenact the past or create possible futures. Daydreams are personal, a safe space to nurture one’s identity as well as an emotional and intellectual space for problem-solving and creative thinking.
Without daydreaming, the novels, music, films and art that we admire would not exist and our lives would be very bleak. As André Breton writes in the First Manifesto of Surrealism, “To reduce the imagination to a state of slavery – even though it would mean the elimination of what is commonly called happiness – is to betray all sense of absolute justice within oneself."
"Daydream Believer" is a lighthearted, cheerfully optimistic exhibition encouraging imagination and fun, presenting works by 12 artists: Amy Worrall, Anna Harström, Carl Lindström, Ellen Ljungqvist, Filippa Nilsson Kallhed, Kreetta Järvenpää, Richard Krantz, Sara Lundkvist, Susanne Fagerlund, Tove Mauritzson, Fanny Ollas and Paula Pääkkönen.
