Sleepwalkers

My long-standing couple crush on Swedish artists Jockum Nordström and Mamma Andersson may have just intensified.  “Who is sleeping on my pillow,” their first collaborative show at David Zwirner, is brimming with work that has been soaked, scratched and fondled. Nordström’s collages are perverted, yet tender; Andersson’s paintings are intimate yet aloof. Both shows, independently, are breathtaking, but to see them side by side is to sleepwalk from one brilliant mind into the other.  The shows are joined, like a hinge, by three collaborative works on paper – Andersson’s oozing landscapes against Nordström’s cryptic cut outs.  Please excuse my gushing.  This is a wonderful show, and the pictures don’t do it justice.

“Who is sleeping on my pillow” is on view at David Zwirner through June 19.
