Christian Andersson did his Master of Arts at the Malm\u00f6 Art Academy, influenced by the likes of Douglas Crimp, Sherrie Levine, Louise Lawler and Barbara Bloom and the gutting of \u2018postmodern authenticity\u2019 that emerged in the wake of \u2018the Pictures Generation\u2019. In his work, the artist reminds the viewer that there are always alternatives, other ways of looking at the world and different ways of interpreting the truth in order to illustrate that there is no single, objectively true story. He presents forgotten \u2013 or repressed facts in a new way, challenging patterns of thought that he considers to have become rigid.<\/p>\n
Andersson\u2019s art offers plenty of space for meandering thoughts, and explores the boundaries between the plausible and implausible. Juxtaposing emotion and reason, he establishes enough momentary doubt to test our powers of comprehension.
\nHe conceives his exhibitions as some sort of detective story, which take time to grasp them in their entirety. His works combine objects of modernity with elements of Surrealism and psychology, thereby challenging common notions of history and universal knowledge. Andersson reveals: \u201cIf you went to see a solo presentation of mine, there would be a lot of mysteries to solve. You need to see the full picture, which also means making a commitment. If you will take time, there will be clues that will lead you somewhere. It doesn\u2019t mean that I want to lead you into thinking exactly like I do, but it\u2019s a starting point.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
