"Hedda's House...continued stories from the woman on the couch: A Series of Installations by Gunilla Josephson"
2001-04-11 until 2001-05-27
Art Gallery of Mississauga
Mississauga, ON, CA Canada

Beginning on April 11 at the Art Gallery of Mississauga, Gunilla Josephson brings to life the world of Hedda through a series of installations that incorporate video and sculpture. The show includes a sound piece developed in collaboration with musician Eve Egoyan and all video performances are by Anna-Lena Johansson.

The film experience resembles a fun house attraction, a wild ride, the itinerary of which has been calculated in advance but is unknown to the spectator. By spurts and stops, twists and roller coaster plunges, we are taken through a dark passage, alert and anxious, yet confident that we shall return satisfied and unharmed. - Concepts in Film Theory, Dudley Andrews

Gunilla Josephson is a Swedish born artist with a BA in Social Science from Stockholm University and a MFA from the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Stockholm. She currently lives in Toronto and exhibits in Canada and Europe.

In May of this year her video HELLO INGMAR will be showing at the International Short Film Festival in Oberhausen, Germany and 8-23 of June her video installation HEDDAISM(US) will be exhibited at Art System, Toronto.
