Whatever Works
Kristina Bengtsson, Kevin Malcolm, Anders Hergum
8. — 10. December 2023

Whatever Works continues ongoing discussions between three artists. Having previously worked together on numerous exhibitions, publications and events, they find themselves returning to recurrent themes, interests and dilemmas. Namely (but not exclusively): space and the city, labour and work within art practices, sustainability and personal resources, the price of falafel. At various times and in multiple places they have been and continue to be colleagues, friends, partners and collaborators, not to mention co-perambulators, dinner table shit-shooters and hooting night-owls. The times are always uncertain for artists, that’s kind of the point. All the more reason to make the most of whatever works.
