Johanna Karlsson & Ivar Lövheim at Galleri Hammarén, Göteborg, Sweden
From Press release (in Swedish only):
Utställningen Jordnära sammanför två konstnärer som snarare stiger in i naturen – mer än de distanserat betraktar den. Perspektivet är både intimt och överblickande. Inte minst Ivar Lövheims mossliknande verk, kan framstå som utsnitt – readymades – direkt lösgjorda från någon närliggande berghäll. Vi kan också ta del av mer vidsträckta avsnitt av landskapet, när vi blickar in i Johanna Karlssons små, förbluffande detaljrika, dioramor. Tonläget är nordiskt, dovt och kargt.
Stilla liv / Still Life, Hellvi Kännungs, Gotland
We are pleased to announce the ninth summer exhibition at Hellvi Kännungs, Gotland, Sweden. The exhibition Still Life presents a personal selection of paintings, sculptures and photographs around the concept of still life. Pictures and objects of subjects which have been carefully arranged or where everyday life and chance have set the stage. In some works the objects are loaded with content and history, in others reduced to forms and surfaces in a composition.

From press release (in Swedish only):
Vår planet förändras varje dag. Vår planet förstörs. Antalet levande organismer minskar drastiskt och mångfalden går förlorad. Enfalden breder ut sig i dess ställe.
Stockholm Calling, Asia House, London, UK

After nearly 20 years at art fairs in Europe and the USA we are trying out new ways of presenting our artists internationally. During 2018 we have taken a pause from international art fairs to explore the possibilities with pop-up exhibitions.

From Review in Helsingborgs Dagblad by Johanna Gredfors Ottesen (in Swedish only):
Cries and Whispers at Trafo Kunsthall, Oslo, Norway
Cries and Whispers is a group exhibition presenting Swedish contemporary painting and sculpture. Here, eight artists, born in the 60s, 70s and 80s, are invited to represent a figurative art movement that has received great attention in Sweden and internationally. The title, borrowed from Ingmar Bergman’s film Cries and Whispers from 1972, echoes in the exhibition. There is a strong relationship between these artists, but also crucial differences in their approach. Both the intimate, vulnerable whispers and the distant, powerful cries can be traced.
Susanne Johansson, Johanna Karlsson, Petra Lindholm, Under horisonten / Below the Horizon, Galleri Magnus Karlsson
We are pleased to present Below the Horizon, an exhibition with new works by Susanne Johansson, Johanna Karlsson and Petra Lindholm. The exhibition has been developed through a long dialogue between the artists. The works included resonate with each other and bring up mutual investigations despite different expressions and techniques. Nature is both the setting and plays the lead part in the practice of these three artists.

New Works in the Inner Room of the Gallery
Galleri Magnus Karlsson is pleased to present a smaller exhibition with Johanna Karlsson in the inner room of the gallery. A new version of the sculpture installation Sträcka (which was shown in the exhibition Utan Söm och Socka this summer at Hellvi Kännungs, Gotland) are shown together with new works on paper.
Utan Söm och Socka, Jockum Nordström, Johanna Karlsson, Lisa Jeannin/Rolf Schuurmans & Dan Wolgers, Hellvi Kännungs, Gotland, Sweden
From Press Release: (in swedish)
Galleri Magnus Karlsson har glädjen att presentera utställningen Utan Söm och Socka på Hellvi Kännungs, Gotland. Hellvi Kännungs är galleriets projektrum sommartid och öppnade förra året med utställningen Pudelns Hjärna sammanställd av Jens Fänge. Tanken med projektrummet är att skapa förutsättningar för oväntade möten och uppmuntra nya samarbeten och idéer.
New works
Johanna Karlsson has in her drawings and sculptures examined nature from a nearly microscopically low angle. The works richness of detail and careful execution give the simple motives – roots, branches of trees and other vegitation – new meaning.
