Återkomsten
23.11.2024 – 20.04.2025
Östergötlands museum, Linköping
Curated by Ebba de Faire, Erik Pauser och Leif Elggren.
In an overall installation created specifically for the museum, the complexity of memories is explored through the works of 53 artists connected to Linköping. Individual and collective stories meet in an artistic symbiosis of autoethnography, fiction and archival material. Through film, photography, sculpture and sound works, a dialogue is created between the past and the present, where the museum becomes a representation of our memories. With the exhibition, Leif Elggren and Erik Pauser bring together the artists and their expressions and tie together the art community that was created in Linköping during the 70s and 80s. Shown in Galleri Wåghals 23.11 2024 – 20.04.2025.

His broad and prolific artistry orients itself around dreams and subtle absurdities, upside-down social hierarchies, symbols of power and existential questions of life and death. He considers himself king of his own kingdom and a son of God.
