Jenny Magnusson

Table sculpture, floor piece and a photo

Jenny Magnusson works with sculpture and installations, whereby space and place are the decisive factors in her development of a work. She uses everyday materials and things that she finds, borrows or acquires, incorporating them into the exhibition space in a process of exchange with people and places from her surroundings.
Here, she always looks for a precise relation between the things and objects, the material and their positions within the space. Magnusson’s working materials are parts of sculptures rather than chapters of a specific story. They are never firmly attributed to a particular sculpture but only to a specific place and for a predetermined period of time.
The result of this working method is that there are no existent, finished sculptures to be seen in Magnusson’s œuvre. Her installations are always created on the spot and with a strong reference to performance: In Künstler-
haus Bethanien Magnusson is experimenting with a focus on spatiality and the instability of materials – on tables, on the floor and using photos.
Her aim is to investigate spatiality in the present and the past, and to link the two.

Jenny Magnusson lives and works in Göteborg and Berlin.
