Ingela Johansson

Ingela Johansson (SE) has a social practice that is both research and production based. Her artistic practice responds to site-specific issues, using an interdisciplinary approach and combines various aesthetic strategies to create an engaging body of work. She questions the artist’s role as a catalyst and facilitator. Her aim is to expose and challenge the political, ethical, or social systems and the history writing about them, all of which control our everyday lives. Several of her works address the institution and the museum as a place for the public, as public space, and as an organization. Her work often starts with archive research and continues into presentations in a variety of media including video, photo, text and installation. As part of her practice, she has regularly collaborated with other artists and experts and has organized discussions. A selection of places in which Ingela Johansson has exhibited includes: Art and Work, Gallery Box (2010); The Museum of Work, Norrköping, Sweden (2010); Art as a gift, Periferic Biennale 8, Iasi, Romania (2008); What about power relations, Ex Poonto, SKUC Gallery, Ljubljana, Slovenia, 2008; and Exteriors, CCA Kiev, Ukrania (2007). Ingela Johansson is currently working from London on an Iaspis grant. www.ccc-k.net Born 1976 in Kalmar, Sweden Upcoming,
