Anna Axfor’s exhibition texts turn inside out on the love relationship and the myth of love as something shrouded in a sweet shimmer. She challenges tradition and meets art with a sharp and insightful look at love.
Love x Attraction in Absolut Art Collection, i.e. love and attraction, is the simplest thing there is but at the same time the only thing people care about and the only thing all good art is about. I always came back to that theme. My texts, Carolina’s art and Spritmuseum’s collection marry each other very well. It is an exhibition that is both beautiful, intellectual and a little rough.

In her role as guest curator, Blue Carolina Falkholt has highlighted works of art, which in her eyes touch on power relations and female desire. She has created her own work – a winding web of graffiti that surrounds the art. She both highlights and comments on the artworks in a wayward dialogue, the selected works are by some of the most famous artists of the 1980s and 1990s from the Absolut Art Collection.
I want to know how my own love life can stop being so disastrous through Love x Attraction in Absolut Art Collection. There are artworks that can affect this. The record Love x Attraction ((( <3 ))) has lifted me out of a deep depression and I hope this will be medicine for many. Anna’s lyrics, artwork and music co-exist how we look at love, attraction and influence.
