Professor at the Institute of Fine Art, Annika Eriksson will present a lecture focusing on work made earlier this year for her show, The Social, at Moderna Museet Malmö.
"The term ‘Social’ refers to a characteristic of living organisms as applied to populations of humans and other animals. It always refers to the interaction of organisms with other organisms and to their collective co-existence, irrespective of whether they are aware of it or not, and irrespective of whether the interaction is voluntary or involuntary." Wikipedia/Social (Oct 2016)
Bio: Annika Eriksson is born in Malmö and lives in Berlin. At the core of her artistic practice is a keen interest in social interaction: how do we live together, what kind of societies do we create, what happens in the margins and in the transitional process from one society to another? Several of her works place themselves in the gaps that are created when social models fade into history, before new ideas and visions have materialised.
In addition to projects and shows worldwide, her work has also been exhibited at the biennials in Istanbul, Vienna, Shanghai, Venice, Dakar and São Paulo.
