Valuable or worthless are concepts that Johanna Törnqvist tackles in different ways in her art. By working with materials that lack value, she turns the question of how we value the materials of our time inside out.
Artist list
Johanna Törnqvist
What is valuable, and what is worthless?
How do we view our assets and resources?
Which materials will be the new raw materials of the future?
And where is the value, in the material or in the work of the hand?
In the project Side Effects, Johanna Törnqvist starts in the world of healthcare and not only raises the issue of consumption but also of medication for a functioning life.
Through used medicine packaging and other consumables from healthcare, she demonstrates how we value not only the materials of our time but also the people of our time. Through fusing, needle and thread, she processes and refines the trash beyond recognition and creates decorations for both room and body.
Johanna Törnqvist has been educated in Paris and New York, among others.
Has participated in several exhibitions both inside and outside of Sweden.
She is also represented at both Röhsska here in Gothenburg and the National Museum in Stockholm.
