Opening Madeleine Andersson: SHOCK VALUE

Welcome to the opening of SHOCK VALUE, a solo exhibition by Madeleine Andersson, bringing together new and existing sculptures and video works in a total installation.

Andersson investigates the paradox of the “scientific method”, where on the one side science must be constantly questioned whereas on the other it must be considered fact. Andersson’s multimedia installation questions science inherent fixation on progression and results, and instead explores its experimental, absurd, stupid and almost artistic nature.

At 18:30, during the opening of the exhibition, there will be a talk between directors of Index and the artist.

Madeleine Andersson (b. 1993, Jönköping, SE) is an artist based in Copenhagen, with a research-based practice which concerns the absurdity of technology, science and human intelligence.
