Inspired by Fluxus, Lindberg’s practice spans different media and concepts, however the material nature of the work is key, materials and objects are often found and given back to us slightly altered and playfully arranged.

Drawing on the everyday, Lindberg’s work often presents low-key and illogical humour, the titles of the works are central, but take on an absurd quality when one is presented with a dry matter-of-fact corresponding image. Trying to get in between is the first comprehensive publication of Lindberg’s work.

Co-published by Book Works with Göteborgs Konsthall to coincide with a major solo show by Lindberg.


フルクサスにインスパイアされた著者・LINDBERGの制作するものは様々なメディアやコンセプトに渡っているが、作品の素材になっているものの性質がカギとなって、素材やオブジェがすこしだけ変えられることでユーモアさが加味される。
彼女の作品は常に控えめで不合理なユーモアをはらんでおり、タイトルが作品の主幹となっているが、ドライで淡々とした様子で提示されることで滑稽な意味合いを帯びる。本書は彼女の最初の作品集。
