Cecilia Jansson - group exhibition Memberment

Former artist-in-residence at the Swatch Art Peace Hotel Cecilia Jansson is showing her latest works in the group show 'Memberment'.

Memberment

A tunic made of asphalt resembles both a sequined gown and a hair shirt. Its surface may seem burned to a crisp, but is still impenetrable. A prehistoric creature formed from bread and porcelain has not yet evolved into anything recognizable, and a sunburned man in a cowboy hat and a cable-knit sweater seems unconcerned with the third hand gently strangling him. A young man, perhaps a prince, has deigned to be crowned by a fast-food chain.

Under the title Memberment, Cecilia Jansson and Geoffrey Chadsey present Man as a bearer of conflicting biological and cultural processes. Jansson shows sculptural work, and Chadsey drawings. Both artists portray the human being as an entity in constant transformation. Our bodies – like the objects with which we surround ourselves – are politically and historically charged constructions. The world receives its meaning from the way in which we exist within it, and are able to relate to our own heritage.
