About grief, magic, and humor is a project exhibition at Växjö Art Hall featuring artists Ingela Johansson and Elin Sundström, who delve into the subject of care through questions about humor, grief, and art in healthcare environments. In their respective practices, the artists work situationally and in close dialogue with the place, with an interest in issues of care and narratives.
During the vernissage of Om sorg, trollkonster och humor on August 25, an artist talk will be held in the exhibition. Among the art objects born from research and site work, Elin Sundström invites fellow artist Sigrid Holmwood for a conversation about folklore, magical objects, and the potentially positive influence of contemporary people on their surroundings.
On September 9, "A Thoughtful Humoresque about the Situation in Healthcare" will be held, an entertaining yet exploratory event by artist Ingela Johansson with invited guests, focusing on the presence and use of humor in healthcare from an artistic perspective. Based on the exhibition, Ingela Johansson shines a light on the clown as a motif and historical figure in healthcare, while artist Anna Kindbom picks up the guitar and performs her newly written piece Humor as glitch.
