Mamma Andersson, Anna Bjerger & Jockum Nordström, Galleri Bo Bjerggaard, Copenhagen, Denmark
From Press release:
On Saturday, 26 January 2019, Galleri Bo Bjerggaard is opening the exhibition Works on Paper , presenting works by 27 different artists and, in turn, 27 different approaches to paper as a material. The exhibition will be shown in the gallery's west rooms.
When Galleri Bo Bjerggaard first opened its doors in 1999, in Pilestrmde, one our first exhibitions was of works on paper by such heavyweights of the period as Baselitz, Fautrier, lmmendorf, Jorn, Kirkeby, Lupertz, Mortensen, Penck, Picabia and Polke.
Mamma Andersson & Jockum Nordström, Wilhelm-Hack-Museum, Ludwigshafen, DE
Interestingly, contemporary artists in this age of digitalisation and social media are increasingly focusing again on drawing. This is perhaps a coincidence considering that the medium is generally regarded as the most direct of all forms of artistic expression. With its intimate appeal, its narrative as well as subjective inquisitive potentials, the gestures of drawing exert a fascination that is now appears more relevant than ever.
Mamma Andersson, The Phillips Collection, Washington DC, USA
Nordic Impressions is a major survey of Nordic art spanning nearly 200 years and presenting 53 artists from Denmark, Iceland, Finland, Norway, and Sweden, as well as the self-governing islands of Åland, Faroe, and Greenland. The exhibition celebrates the incredible artistic diversity of Nordic art, from idealized paintings of the distinctive Nordic light and untouched landscape to melancholic portraits in quiet interiors and mesmerizing video works that explore the human condition.
Mamma Andersson, Foxy Production, New York, USA
Figure in a Landscape is a painting by Francis Bacon that interprets a photograph of his lover, Eric Hall, dozing on a seat in Hyde Park, London. The artist depicts a disfigured, abstracted, partly over-painted man, lying across a park bench. With a blue sky and flowers drained of color in a murky, somber landscape, it seems, forebodingly, to be at once both day and night. Painted during World War 2, the work’s banal title belies the currents of violence churning within the frame.
Mamma Andersson, Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati, USA
Press release:
Presented in partnership with FotoFocus Biennial 2018
Painters often draw from existing visual materials, such as photographs and reproductions of past works of art, to inspire and construct their work. Swedish artist Mamma Andersson (born 1962)—known for her dreamlike, faintly narrative compositions inspired by Nordic painting, folk art, newspaper photographs, and cinema—is no exception.
Mamma Andersson, 33rd Bienal de São Paulo, Brazil
We are pleased to announce Mamma Andersson’s participation in this year’s edition of Bienal de São Paulo – both as curator and as artist! The Biennial is the second oldest in the world after Venice and considered one of the most important.
Mamma Andersson et al., Bridget de León, London, UK

Cries and Whispers at Trafo Kunsthall, Oslo, Norge
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.
Mamma Andersson, Marcel Dzama, Jockum Nordström et al., David Zwirner, New York, USA
On the occasion of the gallery’s 25th anniversary, David Zwirner will present a special exhibition celebrating the artists who have shaped the gallery’s program since its founding in 1993.

Mamma Andersson, Stephen Friedman Gallery, London, UK
Mamma Andersson’s fifth exhibition at Stephen Friedman Gallery will focus on a new series of unique woodcut prints. This will be the artist’s first solo presentation dedicated to this technique and marks an exciting development in her practice. These prints are emotive scenes and portraits of “...characters who will not be pinned down: fleet of foot, they move swiftly across centuries, indifferent to mortality and geography” (Jennifer Higgie, 2017).

Interview with Mamma Andersson on Louisiana Channel
Paintings as Weapons
The Louisiana Channel has made an interview with Mamma Andersson. You can watch the video on their website in Swedish with English subtitles.
“It is the psyche of the artist that is the product, it sprung from your own well, it’s your own water,” says Sweden’s great painter Karin Mamma Andersson in this portrait. “The moment you dig into something, it becomes a sort of self-image.”
Mamma Andersson, Victoria Miro Gallery, London

The invitation sent to the chosen artists on the 3rd November:
A conversation between Mamma Andersson and Tal R about Svanesang.
The conversation between Tal R and Karin Mamma Andersson comes easily. They don’t know each other very well, but their approaches to art show a mental connection, although at first glance there seems to be more differences than similarities between the two.
Mamma Andersson and Tal R at Galleri Bo Bjerggaard and Galleri Magnus Karlsson!
Svanesang (Swan Song) is the title of two parallel exhibitions shown at Galleri Bo Bjerggaard, Copenhagen and Galleri Magnus Karlsson, Stockholm. It is a joint exhibition project between two of Scandinavia’s most acclaimed artists; Mamma Andersson and Tal R.

From Press Release:
This exhibition will showcase the woodcut and its many functions and stylistic possibilities.
With varying degrees of popularity, the age-old woodcut technique has been in use since the sixteenth century, and there seems recently to be a renewed interest in this art form. Is there a connection between today’s digitized visual media and the woodcuts of yore?

Mamma Andersson & Jens Fänge, Artipelag, Stockholm, Sweden
In the exhibition HERE/NOW, Artipelag would like to take a stand for the physical meeting between artwork and the viewer. The title of the exhibition refers to artist Barnett Newman’s praised 1948 essay, The Sublime is Now. In the essay, Newman propagates the idea that the meeting between contemplator and artwork should be like a meeting between two people, wherein the relationship is based on a profound dialogue.
2014, Galleri Magnus Karlsson
We are pleased to present the group exhibition 2014. A selection of gallery artists including: Mamma Andersson, Lars Arrhenius, Thomas Broomé, Sara-Vide Ericson, Carl Hammoud, Tommy Hilding, Kent Iwemyr, Richard Johansson, Susanne Johansson, Lisa Jonasson, Klara Kristalova, Ulf Lundin, Maria Nordin, Dan Wolgers and others.
Mamma Andersson, Musée d'Art Moderne, Paris, France
Until the late 19th century, painters like Lotto, Holbein and Delacroix restricted themselves to drawing tapestry cartoons or including Oriental carpets in their pictures. Over the course of the 20th century, however, the European avant-garde revolutionized textile art and practice; artists began weaving their own rugs, inspired by works from earlier periods or drawing upon ethnic and geometric motifs.
CHART Art Fair, Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Copenhagen, Denmark

Mamma Andersson, Stephen Friedman Gallery, London, UK
Stephen Friedman Gallery is delighted to announce an exhibition of new paintings by Mamma Andersson. Andersson, born in 1962, paints complex compositions that bring together a variety of sources including Nordic figurative painting, folk art and contemporary iconography. She juxtaposes thick impasto and loosely washed areas to create dreamlike and expressive vistas yet also allows reality to enter her paintings in the form of the commonplace.

From Press Release (in Swedish):
En utställning curerad av Karin Mamma Andersson
Som betraktare kan en särskild glädje vara att få gå in i konstnärs bildvärld, och låta sig ryckas med av dess stämning. Ibland kan ett uttryck och ett formspråk vara så starkt och egenartat, att man börjar se verkligheten litet annorlunda, sedan man tagit del av det. Man har berikats.
