2024 - MAMAN, or THE TONGUE
Moderna Museet Malmö, as a part of the exhibition “On the Absurd Drama That Is Also Life”
Oil, acrylic and ink on textile/costumes, fabric sculpture, wooden furniture, opera, text, scenography
Curator: Andreas Nilsson
The role of the family and the cycles of the everyday are addressed in the experimental feminist chamber opera MAMAN, or THE TONGUE, in which the artist and writer Jenny Kalliokulju interweaves art, song, music and theatre. The aim is to create an interdisciplinary, anti-hierarchical Gesamtkunstwerk, in which a painting installation also takes the shape of scenography and costumes during the performance of the opera.
