Artist talk between Lars
Embäck and Ulf Peter Hallberg from Spleen Nordic
about Lars Embäcks book Family Life (The
Artist's Hidden Secrets) and Embäcks artwork Home and Family (An Ordinary Life) at Galler
Ping-Pong 26th October 2024.
At
Lars Embäck's exhibition, we are greeted by
a room within a room with common household objects
combined and rearranged into a strange dreamlike
scene and around them a flow of drawings and sketches
in color. In several of the pictures there are references
to Hilma af Klint, Embäck questions when "hearing
voices" becomes an act of artistic spirituality
versus when it is labeled suffering and madness.
As often in Embäck's work, there are clues
to his biography. But more important is that images
and objects are woven together into a giant "sketchbook",
with sketches on sketches, which asks the question
of how ordinary an "ordinary life" is.
The installation "Home and Family (An Ordinary
Life)" has been acquired by Moderna Museet, Sweden
2024.

FAMILY
LIFE: THE ARTIST'S HIDDEN SECRETS
spleen nordic 2020
A father and a mother are scarred
in separate traffic accidents. In the family
home, the effects of their trauma ring like
an echo in the lives of their children.
Several decades later, Lars Embäck
explores and processes memories of a complicated
childhood through writing, drawing and collage.
In parallel, the past as it has been preserved
in medical records, official transcripts, photographs
and newspaper cuttings are open to him and the
reader. Together, the two parts reflect each
other like changeable repetitions in an elusive
pattern.
"Family Life" is the
culmination of more than two decades of exhibitions,
artworks and installations in which the
artist Lars Embäck has tried to address
the legacy of his difficult childhood and his
relationship to his troubled parents.
