In parallel to society growing increasingly polemic, art has been left with an explanation complex. More and more one is confronted with questions regarding function and utility – what does art mean? Margareta Bergman opposes this eagerness to explain and rationalizing of art.
She is not looking for answers. Rather her work dives into doubt as an active state. Intuitively, she works under the mantra of «thinking as little as possible», and in her studio she is free to be open about the insecurity. This associative point of entry to photography redeems itself in the format of the exhibition as something indefinite.
OCH...INTE invites the audience to a state of wonder; can something both be together and not all? With photographs, sculpture and textiles, Bergman lures the audience into an undisguised confusion with no clear message. In this scenery, the lack of words becomes essential to the saying of nothing, encouraging one to take art for what it is – not bland, but ambivalent.
