Following the preparation of “Ledtradar” (“Clues”), the first retrospective exhibition of Carl Johan De Geer, director Kersti Grunditz examines the life and work of the famous and controversial Swedish artist. De Geer, after a bourgeois upbringing, abandoned his noble heritage for the bohemian circles of Stockholm, and in the spirit of the progressive sixties, began to form his trademark do-it-yourself aesthetics. Since then, he has alternately been a printmaker, painter, set designer, sculptor, writer and filmmaker.
During his five decades as an artist, Carl Johan De Geer has playfully leaped between genres and art forms such as painting, children's television and literature. All of it with a powerful political commitment and a large measure of absurdism. In CJDG, we follow his work on exhibitions in New York as well as Stockholm.
