Mamma Andersson & Jockum Nordstrom: Who is sleeping on my pillow
Originally published on the occasion of the 2010 exhibition at David Zwirner in New York, Who is sleeping on my pillow marked the first time Andersson and Nordstrom presented their work in concurrent solo shows. The book showcases their work from the late 1980s to 2010 in over two hundred full-color plates, as well as numerous reproductions of family snapshots and source material. The Swedish artist couple Mamma Andersson and Jockum Nordstrom have been at the forefront of contemporary figurative art since the late 1980s. Updating Vuillard for a post-Hitchcock age, Andersson paints beguilingly eerie interiors and landscapes. Nordstrom’s detailed collages, watercolors, and drawings occupy a ...
Mamma Andersson: Sleepless
A celebration of the representation, figuration, and classical antiquity in Mamma Andersson’s newest paintings. "When I look at this collection of pictures, . . . what strikes me first is the image-making capacity itself and the endless stream of images it brings forth and always has brought forth into the world.” —Karl Ove Knausgaard, Mamma Andersson: Sleepless The Swedish painter Mamma Andersson draws inspiration from a wide range of photographic source materials, art history, filmic imagery, theater sets, and period interiors, as well as the sparse topography of northern Sweden. The paintings and works on paper collected in this volume explore atmosphere and mood through representat...

The meagre materials contrast with the richness suggested in their multiplicity. An almost exalted merging of materials including textile scraps, coloured and dyed paper, sheets of painted paper and bits of labels and fragments torn out of Italian Vogue, perhaps a few seemingly forgotten chalk stumps.[Bokinfo].
The Excavation
Based on the author’s dreams, this German Expressionist-influenced graphic novel is about a couple who go to an underground site to visit his family, and surreal events ensue. Drawn in a slashing pen-and-ink style with raw crosshatching and heavy blacks, the author’s visual approach adds to the intense, claustrophobic feel of the graphic novel, while its surreal verisimilitude recalls cult films like Eraserhead and The Forbidden Zone.
Mamma Andersson: A Storm Warning
This collection of Mamma Andersson’s latest paintings spotlights the beauty and mystery of nature and the erasure of time "What Mamma Andersson does in some of these pictures is on the one hand depict the illusions, the one thing which is another thing—masks, theater, statues, paintings—and on the other portray that which is only itself, potted plants, tree trunks, trees, landscapes. Everything is motionless, these rooms are located out of time." —Karl Ove Knausgaard, Mamma Andersson: A Storm Warning In a series of oneiric paintings inspired by interiors and the landscape of her childhood, the Swedish painter Mamma Andersson muses on the line between reality and illusion. She introdu...

Mamma Andersson: The Lost Paradise
This volume celebrates the Swedish artist Mamma Andersson’s new body of work—melancholic, evocatively colored paintings that explore femininity, fantasy, and memory. Andersson’s works embody a new genre of landscape painting that recalls late nineteenth-century romanticism while also embracing a contemporary interest in layered, psychological compositions. Her panoramic scenes draw inspiration from a wide range of archival photographic source materials, filmic imagery, theater sets, and period interiors as well as the sparse topography of northern Sweden, where she grew up. The paintings utilize a selection of motifs from throughout her career: barren branches and thick-barked pine tre...

Roy Andersson’s “Songs from the Second Floor”
Swedish filmmaker Roy Andersson�s celebrated and enigmatic film Songs from the Second Floor, his first feature film in twenty-five years, won the Special Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival in 2000. The �songs� of the film�s title refer to Andersson�s artistic ruminations on the state of mankind from his office on the second floor of Studio 24 in Stockholm. The film presents a series of forty-six tableaux�long, deep-focus shots with a still camera, mostly in studio settings, using older visual tricks such as trompe l�oeil. The tableaux showcase seemingly trivial tragicomic situations designed to provoke thoughts about existential guilt, broken relationships, and the failure ...
Mamma Andersson
In addition to personal life experiences, the Swedish artist Mamma Andersson draws on a number of other sources for her paintings, including northern landscape painting of the 19th and 20th century, interiors from forensic investigations and scenes from theatre brochures.The shift from meticulous attention to detail to gestural and abstract work lends the paintings an uncannily suggestive power. Thus, the portrayal of an everyday walk becomes a family drama, a children's room is revealed as a place of loneliness and destruction. The artist is concerned at all times with life in its entirety: a reflection of the contemporary human condition.Published on the occasion of the exhibition Mamma Andersson: Dog Days at Kunstmuseen Krefeld, Museum Haus Esters, 23 October - 5 February 2011.English and German text.
