Mikael Olsson At
Teatergrillen, Stockholm
30 January - 3 March, 2024


Self-portraiture has a long and meandering history. Albrecht Dürer, Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Salvador Dali, Frida Kahlo, Warhol, Cindy Sherman, Sarah Lucas, Amalia Ullman, Rafia Santana. If portraiture can be categorised as a social encounter, the self-portrait is a perceptual encounter with one’s own body, and all the physical constraints that such an act entails. The physiological impossibility of seeing oneself has fascinated artists for centuries and inspired great works that play with these limitations. The self-portraits of Mikael Olsson – which are actually demi-self-portraits, as they only capture the top of his head and his bespectacled eyes – are a brilliant entry into the mirror halls of art history.

- Sinziana Ravini

Olsson’s self-portraits/selfies challenge the narcissistic use of selfies as well as the status of influencers. Further he destabilizes the composition of a traditional selfie where the eye line is recommended to be one-third down from the top frame. Through play and intuition, Olsson’s images are marked by both intimacy and distance, the role of his own physical presence and the perceptive relationship to the surroundings.

LWRNTZ (WORK IN PROGRESS) - MIKAEL OLSSON/JAN ERIK LUNDSTRöM



An excavation of Sigurd Lewerentz’ architectural remains.

First book out from Sweden's new architectural publisher Andersson Örn!
From the preface:
In this book, we are given a rare glimpse into Mikael Olsson’s ongoing work LWRNTZ: an artistic investigation of Sigurd Lewerentz’(1885–1975) architecture. Olsson’s finalized project will later on be published in a more extensive format, similar to his works ”Södrakull Frösakull” and ”on | auf” . Some of the photographs included here will possibly reappear, others may be reevaluated and disappear along the way. After all, this is a work in progress.
Lewerentz’ work spans over many decades and across a number of building types, styles, materials and techniques. This width is apparent in Olsson’s project, which could be labeled as an excavation of Lewerentz’ architectural remains, both known and unknown, wellpreserved and decayed.
This book is also a dialogue between the artist and photographer Mikael Olsson, and the curator and critic Jan-Erik Lundström – a dialogue, covering the photographic field, its actors, histories and theories, that began with a series of Zoom conversations between Olsson, Lundström and the editor of this book in 2021.
From Jan-Erik Lundström's essay:
The title LWRNTZ – which can be understood as a metonym, suggesting that here is a series of utterances which speak and express through proximity rather than similarity, hinted at by its omission of the vowels (three e) from Lewerentz’ name – illuminates and highlights a productive tension between referent (Lewerentz’ buildings) and figure (Olsson’s photographs), between motif and image, between the world of objects and things and – precisely – their metaphorical and metonymic representation. Indeed, the dimension of closeness is saturated and dense, both asymptotically and emphatically. The photographs live off, are nurtured by, and take place in the vicinity of these buildings, even if their primary aim is not necessarily to reproduce or represent them. The photos appreciate and honor the building’s independent status. It is a closeness that borders on merging, but that never crosses the line. Nearness but not parity or similarity.

ART AND THEORY, 2022

Self-portraiture has a long and meandering history. Albrecht Dürer, Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Salvador Dali, Frida Kahlo, Warhol, Cindy Sherman, Sarah Lucas, Amalia Ullman, Rafia Santana. If portraiture can be categorised as a social encounter, the self-portrait is a perceptual encounter with one’s own body, and all the physical constraints that such an act entails. The physiological impossibility of seeing oneself has fascinated artists for centuries and inspired great works that play with these limitations. The self-portraits of Mikael Olsson – which are actually demi-self-portraits, as they only capture the top of his head and his bespectacled eyes – are a brilliant entry into the mirror halls of art history. Sinziana Ravini.

Olsson’s self-portraits/selfies (since 2007) challenge the narcissistic use of selfies as well as the status of influencers. Further he destabilizes the composition of a traditional selfie where the eye line is recommended to be one-third down from the top frame. Through play and intuition, Olsson’s images are marked by both intimacy and distance, the role of his own physical presence and the perceptive relationship to the surroundings. Olsson Mikael includes an essay by writer and psychoanalyst Sinziana Ravini.

GALERIE NORDENHAKE, MARKET ART FAIR, LILJEVALCHS 30 APRIL 2022



AT MARKET 2022 Galerie Nordenhake presents Petra Gipp’s and Mikael Olsson’s exploratory response to the work of Sigurd Lewerentz in a reiteration of their acclaimed presentation at the 2018 Venice Architectural Biennale.

The images of Mikael Olsson are held by the tension between visual faculties and visual conventions, the reality of perception and the reality of vision, of the concrete and the abstract.” Péter Nádas

Olsson’s photographic practice explores the reenactment of history and the presence of the past in current times. Olsson ́s underlying aim is to redefine the genre of classical documentary photography. In the breath of its scope, his investigation into the legacy of Swedish architect Sigurd Lewerentz (1885-1975) constitutes a catalog raisonne. At the same time Olsson’s lens selects and reveals potent present and ongoing scenes. Each image proposes the site as a stage, a generative space.

Petra Gipp’s sculpture constitutes an interpretation of Lewerentz’s canopy construction at S:t Gertrud and S:t Knuts kapell in Malmö in cross section. Her architectural sculptures are both monumental and subdued. In this work the complexity of the construction and its various volumes are offset by the sculpture’s apparent weightlessness and transparency.
Gipp’s practice is characterised by its fluid transition between architectural case study and freestanding sculpture. She is an internationally celebrated architect in her own right.

THE ALIS COPYRIGHT AWARD





They receive the ALIS Copyright Award for the fight against Arkdes.
Architect Petra Gipp and photographer Mikael Olsson are awarded the 2021 ALIS Copyright Award for their diligent pursuit to be rightfully attributed as authors to work displayed at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2018.
– The right to be named is a central component of the so called ‘moral rights’ to copyright. This right is closely linked to the author, in that the author has invested their own thoughts, feelings, experiences and knowledge into a piece of work, and is therefore undeniably linked to that work. The right to be named can therefore not be assigned or even negotiated away. Petra Gipp and Mikael Olsson have stood up against a Swedish government agency for their right to be named in according with standard fair practice, and are, as such, worthy recipients of the ALIS Copyright Award, says ALIS's Managing Director Helen Asker, who is also the convener of the Award Committee.
Petra Gipp and Mikael Olsson were hired in 2017 by Arkdes, the state-owned Swedish Centre for Architecture and Design. The assignment was to make a sculptural and photographic interpretation of buildings designed by Sigurd Lewerentz, one of Sweden's most prominent architects during the 20th century. The work was exhibited during the Architecture Biennale in Venice 2018, but when the list of contributors was published, Gipp’s and Olsson’s names were not included, but instead the names of three employees at Arkdes. Since this was several months before the exhibition, Gipp and Olsson immediately contacted Arkdes and requested that they correct the list of contributors to include them. However, nothing came of it. In addition, Gipp and Olsson were not listed in the printed event catalogue as authors, but rather as partners.
– The Venice Biennale is the largest art and architecture event in the world. The fact that I, as a Swedish architect and a woman, participate - my and Mikael's work is on display in the main pavilion - is fantastic. But to not have our names accurately mentioned, and instead see three men from Arkdes take credit for our work, is something you can’t let go of, says Petra Gipp.
– Participation in the Venice Biennale means that you are recognized as one of your country's foremost artists. You are included in an international canon. But our names did not make it into it. It was Petra's and my work that qualified us for participation in the Biennale, however Arkdes’ Management chose not to credit us but instead to highlight themselves. It is completely bizarre, says Mikael Olsson.
The ALIS Copyright Award, is awarded for the twentieth time this year. ALIS’ Board of Directors decides who will be awarded the prize, following a proposal from the Award Committee. This year’s decision was made by a unanimous Board.
The award goes to authors or others who have made claims to and fought for their copyright, or who have otherwise made important efforts to strengthen copyright. The recipients are awarded the sum of SEK 25.000, and this year's award ceremony will take place on the 22nd of November.

Previous years' winners are:
2020 – Jack Werner
2019 – Molly Sandén
