Solo utställning Färgfabriken - Joakim Sandqvist mottagare av Beckers konstnärsstipendium 2024
(2024)- Abstract (Swedish)
- Press release:
Joakim Sandqvist explores what influences our perception of the world and its objects – from concrete manipulation to cultural context. As an artist, he works with a wide range of media in a process where the material and its story is essential. Behind each work lies thorough research spanning over a long period, sometimes several years. The artistic work often begins with something ordinary, which, by closer examination, opens up a story and a complex question. It could be a pair of jeans which have been weathered in their manufacture, bricks washed up on a beach, or a piece of paper in the pocket bearing traces of movement.

Joakim Sandqvist explores what influences our perception of the world and its objects – from concrete manipulation to cultural context. As an artist, he works with a wide range of media in a process where the material and its story is essential.

The artistic work often begins with something ordinary, which, by closer examination, opens up a story and a complex question. It could be a pair of jeans which have been weathered in their manufacture, bricks washed up on a beach, or a piece of paper in the pocket bearing traces of movement.
This is followed by an artistic process involving research into the history of the material and various translations where the content is deconstructed and re-created in a new form. In this way, he makes us reflect upon concepts such as time, space, and authenticity. He often focuses on the relationship between history and our post-industrial world, as seen in works like Façade Test (2024) and Workers, Settlers, Hippies, and Imaginary Lovers (2018).
At Färgfabriken, Joakim Sandqvist’s production is presented for the first time in a cohesive exhibition, where the works reflect and interact with each other. Large-scale sculptures and weaves are exhibited alongside video works, drawings and photographs. The artist has also re-worked some pieces and created new ones, such as Gradient_Grey-Blue (2024), an almost 8-metre-long fabric, depicting the meeting between the analogue and digital worlds. (Less)
