"Magasin 3 has followed the career of the legendary French artist Christian Boltanski since the end of the 1980s. We have on several occasions shown works by him that are included in our collection", says director David Neuman.
Magasin 3 opens its fall season with Boltanski's first solo exhibition in Stockholm.
Tessa Praun, curator of the exhibition tells us that "Experiences of loss and the need to put a face to anonymous suffering forms the thread that runs through much of Boltanski's body of work. Our individual and collective memories are central to works that often bear the traces of human life – clothes, photos, letters and other personal material. The exhibition is composed of five installations. Their placement is decided by a specific choreography that winds its way through the structure of Boltanski's blunt visual language. It is something of a challenge to visitors to experience the variously spooky, serious, but also quite comical atmospheres created by the exhibition."
