Installation with sculpture of steele and linocut on paper on a podium of wood
This artwork is about the communal laundry room. I see it as the last remnant of Sweden’s solidarity-based society. Laundry rooms weren’t installed in buildings so that housing companies could turn a profit, but to provide everyone with a good standard of living. These laundry rooms have become a marker of social class. For the lower class. Today, affluent people do not use a communal laundry room. In our current individualistic society, anyone with sufficient resources has their own washing machine in their home. The piece was made for my graduation exhibition at Bildmuseet in Umeå, Sweden, and the whole artwork contains of four linocuts on paper, a sculpture of casted aluminium, an installation with a sculpture of steele and linocuts on a roll of paper and a podium of wood. The artwork also had an audio piece featuring a recorded text. Dimensions of the installation: Sculpture: 144 x 67 x 55 cm. The paper roll with linocut: 97 x 500 cm. The whole installation: 210 x 65 x 400 cm.
