Contemporary Arts Center, New Orleans
2018
March 22–June 17, 2018
Jockum Nordström: Why Is Everything a Ragwas the Swedish artist’s first solo exhibition at an American museum. The show included children’s books, jazz and blues vinyl covers, collages, drawings, paintings, and paper sculptures dating from the start of Nordström’s career to the present day. In addition to his artistic practice, New Orleans has been a source of inspiration for the artist’s music, which he creates as part of the band Joakim Åhlund & Jockum Nordström. The artist discussed this exhibition as part of a conversation with Laird Borrelli-Persson in Vogue in 2017.
