Moderna Museet presents Nina Canell: Mid-Sentence Mid-Sentence at Moderna Museet is Nina Canell’s first solo exhibition in Sweden. Canell’s works generally consist of materials that are normally used for specific purposes—such as nails, electricity, air, water, chewing gum and sound. In this exhibition, they trigger associations and encourage us to think of a place where something can be shared, altered or set off in an unexpected direction. Unlike traditional sculpture, Nina Canell’s (b. 1979) works are rarely static but consist of processes, situations or events. Accentuations of energy and movement recur frequently in her art. The work Three Long Milliseconds is a good example. From a small height, a piece of natural rubber migrates towards the floor in a motion so slow that it is barely visible to the eye. The sooty trail on a stick in Halfway Between Opposite Ends could be seen as its polar opposite. This work was created by passing 4,000 volts through the wood. e-flux/announcements/nina-canell/
