Intro
In her jewellery pieces Jenny Jansson tells a story of a romanticized view of Swedish traditions and culture, where something is just a little bit off. Images of traditional culture are paired with flower wreaths and butter cups.

Artist list

Jenny Jansson
Welcome to the last exhibition at Four this year. In 2025 Four will open a new space in Umeå. What will happen here in Göteborg is still not completely decided but we will keep you updated!

In recent years the debate around immigration has brought up the topic of what it takes to get to call oneself Swedish. Do you have to like pickled herring, know how to assemble flat-pack furniture, or dance around the Midsummers pole?

Traditions can play an important role in creating inclusivity within a community, culture and tradition but can also be used as a tool for exclusion and alienation.


Opening: October 25, 17.00 - 20.00.

The same night Kulturnatta takes place in Göteborg. More info here: https://kulturnatta.goteborg.se/
The exhibition runs until November 15.
