Anna Sissela Gustavsson’s exhibition, Showroom, transforms the gallery space into a place where two worlds meet. The work consists of distorted objects charged with sexuality and hostility. Gustavsson’s artistic practice problematizes the definition of the concepts of upbringing, desire and adaptation. She works with sculpture and installation, where amongst other things she assembles cast toys.
‘I want the ulterior mechanisms of the sex and toy industries to meet and weave together through their already common ground: colors, motif, design and material’
Anna Sissela Gustavsson, b.1978 in Varberg, Sweden, has lived and worked in Gothenburg since several years and received her MFA from the Valand School of Fine Arts in spring 2010. Showroom is her first solo exhibition.
