Lunchvisning
Friday, February 2 at 12:30
Lunchtime tour of the exhibition I REGRET EVERYTHING! (Leif Eriksson 1939—2019) on the third floor of the art museum. Free entry on Fridays from October to March.
Artist Leif Eriksson was a central figure in Swedish conceptual art. Ystad Art Museum now presents I REGRET EVERYTHING! (Leif Eriksson 1939—2019), the largest exhibition of Eriksson's art to date.
Provocations, humor, and challenges to artistic authenticity were recurring themes in Eriksson's work. Through his publishing house, Wedgepress & Cheese, and his work with the extensive archive The Swedish Archive of Artists’ Books (SAAB), Leif Eriksson became a pioneer of the artist's book art form.
In the 1970s, Eriksson made a significant impact on the Swedish art scene with his graphic works, where he used appropriation and irony to comment on the economic interests of the art market. For Leif Eriksson, art was, in many ways, free, and no one could truly claim exclusive rights to it. Many of his works are a questioning negotiation of copyright.
The exhibition is curated by Thomas Millroth and Anders Kjaer.
