A Stick in the Wood
curated by Annika Gunnarsson
The visual artist Jockum Nordström (b 1963) is familiar to many of us for his children's books about Sailor and Pekka. He has lately gained an international reputation for his playful and erotically dreamy drawings and collages, which are also the focus of this exhibition at Moderna Museet.
Jockum Nordström, is a narrator; his sensuous drawings and collages stretch from secret fantasies to the invasive details of everyday life. They move between time and space, between high and low. He makes historic allusions to the imagery of naivism and surrealism, as well as to popular culture. The contemporary art scene has embraced Jockum Nordström's oeuvre warmly. He took part in the Istanbul Biennale in 2003 and in the prestigious Armory Show in New York earlier this year.
