THRICE UPON A TIME
11 Sep – 12 Dec 2010
The fall of 2010 marks the opening of the unprecedented exhibition “Thrice upon a time”. This is the largest exhibition to date with artworks taken exclusively from the Magasin 3 collection. In three parallel presentations over 150 works by artists ranging from Absalon to Zetterquist fill the exhibition spaces with photography, drawing, painting, film and sculpture. Key works by established artists, are paired with pieces by artists who have not previously exhibited in Sweden. Together these works give an unsurpassable insight into the Magasin 3 collection.
In each of the chapters the curators Richard Julin, Tessa Praun and Elisabeth Millqvist offer different points of access to the collection. One of them is collecting and the history of the objects, while another focuses on the artistic process offering fantasies and glimpses from the artist’s studio. The third chapter updates the classical categories of portraiture and landscape.
Collecting has been part of Magasin 3 since its inception in 1987. Today the collection includes close to 600 artworks. With works by artists born between 1849 and 1978 the exhibition not only stages the meeting of for example Karin Mamma Andersson and Ernst Josephson but above all reflects contemporary art history. The majority of the works were created in the past two decades and several of them have never previously been shown in Sweden.
Artists included: Absalon, Karin Mamma Andersson, Janine Antoni, Maya Attoun, Uta Barth, Lynda Benglis, Christian Boltanski, Ann Böttcher, Anna Camner, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Cecilia Edefalk, Marcel van Eden, Jens Fänge, Robert Guillot, Rune Hagberg, Lova Hamilton, Carl Hammoud, Annika von Hausswolff, Maria Hedlund, Anton Henning, Carl Fredrik Hill, Bror Hjort, Rebecca Horn, Olav Christopher Jenssen, Ernst Josephson, Matti Kallioinen, Kimsooja, R.B. Kitaj, John Kleckner, Sigalit Landau, Matts Leiderstam, Maria Lindberg, Walter De Maria, Mark Manders, Truls Melin, Ohad Meromi, Jan van Munster, Jockum Nordström, Cecilia Parsberg, Gabriel Orozco, Chris Ofili, Tal R, Håkan Rehnberg, Gerhard Richter, Boo Ritson, Ulf Rollof, Glen Rubsamen, Fred Sandback, Tom Sandberg, Johan Scott, Jonathan Seliger, Miri Segal, Cindy Sherman, Ann-Sofi Sidén, Santiago Sierra, Lena Svedberg, Fredrik Söderberg, Johan Thurfjell, Richard Tuttle, Uglycute, Charlie White, Gunnel Wåhlstrand, Rémy Zaugg, Johan Zetterquist, Christine Ödlund.
Curators: Richard Julin, Tessa Praun and Elisabeth Millqvist. Assistant curator: Lisa Boström.
