What ever pays off - Jacqueline Forzelius

How much does it cost not to make a profit? This question runs through Jacqueline Forzelius' exhibition "What ever pays off" at Konstepidemin, where four groups of works approach the problem from different angles.

A series of performance videos from 2005-2015 shows the artist pretending to work, defending her position, and moving with confidence in a world that doesn't quite understand her. Miniature dioramas drawn from "Beyond Your World" depict real rooms that most people never reach - because they cannot, will not, or are not allowed. Oil paintings on corrugated cardboard have been mixed by hand in linseed oil during paid working hours at a paint factory - a failed attempt to finance more art time, with prices calculated from the CSN loan's interest rate and an AI-estimated market value. Outside stands "A monument for what remains", a moving mosaic sculpture of a microwave oven with accompanying statistics.

Forzelius was born in 1982 in Eskilstuna, studied in Bergen and Rotterdam, and works daily as a building painter in Göteborg.
