Edmund de Waal / Morandi – Artipelag

Exhibition at Artipelag with Edmund de Waal & Giorgio Morandi, 2017. 
One of my favorite projects while employed at the art museum Artipelag in Stockholm's archipelago 2011–2018. Edmund de Waal is both ceramicist and author and his art consists both of intimate simple objects that create spaces of highly intense presence as well as tell stories and link back to 100 years of European history, literature and art. Morandi is the master of presence and practicing not to prefect but to come closer to the objects he is portraying. This was a challenge to package and to activate the audience in. Edmund de Waal was wonderful and very generous to work with so we mediated the exhibition with an interview film in the artists' studio in London, personal texts by de Waal in the brochure map, audio tour with newly written music and an interactive reading room. Visitors were encouraged to draw and write stories about what favorite objects to bring to an empty island and gave us incredible stories about their families and loss and migration. Assorted stories were then posted on our exhibition blog, in the exhibition app and on Artipelags social media.
