At Andréhn-Schiptjenko, Stockholm, a new body of work by the Swedish artist explores exhaustion and systemic failure.
"As the centrepiece for a show whose themes are exhaustion and systemic failure, Strange Powers – Prologue is a Gordian knot of visual and conceptual entanglements. As a prologue for a still-in-progress film on quantum computing, it is foreboding. In ‘Strange Powers’ at Andréhn-Schiptjenko, Larsson presents the exhibition’s titular work alongside a smattering of her research materials. These include minerals meticulously displayed on shelves, finely rendered watercolours of magnets and a trio of photographs combining images pulled from various scientific and art-historical sources (Photomontage (Strange Powers) I–III, 2023)."
