Linnea Hansander’s artistic practice observes emotional situations and defines systems for a psychological communication understanding art as a channel. Installations, materiality and feelings become intertwined concepts to develop in a permanent dialogue with visitors of her exhibition.

Hansander’s exhibition, TRAGEDY. I CAN’T LIVE IF LIVING IS WITHOUT YOU will be shown at Index — The Swedish  Contemporary Art Foundation, Stockholm 19 May - 28 August 2022. The exhibition at Index has been digitally scanned and is on virtual display from 23rd May to 4th July 2022 in Cube at Art/Sensation in collaboration with Index.

Visitors at Cube find themselves in a parallel reality to the physical exhibition at Index. The virtual space is filled with liquid, which with a digital suspended weight layer creates an additional dimension in the exhibition space. Sounds from different parts of the exhibition become apparent as the visitor moves within the digital space. The visitor can look through a peephole in the Cube exhibition space to see into Index’s physical exhibition space, thereby creating another passage into Hansander’s exhibition.

Hansander (b.1983) received an MFA from Konstfack in 2018. Her practice includes artistic projects, curating, performance, definition of spaces, collaborative situations and a constant flow of interactions with many agents. Her work has been shown previously in Sweden (Gerleborgs Konsthall, Intima Teater), and the exhibition at Index is her first important institutional solo show.

Index has a history of more than 40 years behind it. Firstly, with a focus on photography and publishing, and for the last 20 years with contemporary art as its cultural sphere. Index has been extremely important for the artistic context in Stockholm and the art world of northern and central Europe, however Index is not just history. We work with questions of the contemporary, using clear tools and formats. Marti Manen is the director of Index. Read more about Index here.
