Lars Nilsson: Magasin 3 Stockholm Konsthall. (Stockholm).
Lars Nilsson is part of a generation of Scandinavian artists who
came of age in the '80s and have been largely overshadowed by the
vogue for young artists from the region in the following decade. Magasin
3's fifteen-year retrospective survey should offer something of a
corrective. Curated by David Neuman, the exhibition presents thirteen
major works by the Swedish artist, who is best known for his
conceptually oriented sculptural installations investigating the
vagaries of the masculine facade. As this is only the second time in its
fourteen-year history that Magasin 3 has mounted a solo exhibition by a
Scandinavian artist, the show attests to Neuman's bellef in
Nilsson's importance. Mar. 16-June 9; Palais de Tokyo, Paris, TBA.
