Cover Exhibition Catalog Annica Karlsson Rixons interest in photography as an artistic medium imbues her line of work. Many of her pieces explore the interim between documentary photography and staged scenarios, putting the authenticity of the image into question. She consistently works with issues like identity and representation: how is an art canon created; who is included and on what grounds? Portraits always have constituted an important aspect of Annica Karlsson Rixon’s work. Since the 1990s she has photographed a still growing circle of colleagues and friends. Her series of artists’ portraits started with Portraits in Nordic Light (1997–1998), and after this each new project has generated the next: Annika by the Sea (1999–2001), Private Premises (2003) and Resonance (2006). New questions are continuously raised catalysing the progression of her work. Her latest work, Resonance (2006), produced in close co-operation with Anna Viola Hallberg, is a documentation of our time based on filmed portraits, photos and interviews with artists, curators and art historians who have, in one way or another, made their mark within the art world. Karlsson Rixon poses questions concerning life choices, strategies and power, and we are presented with the participants’ thoughts on professional identity as well as how they see the possibilities and ideas for co-operation within the field of contemporary art. The exhibition Today Tomorrow Forever is produced by Norrkopings Konstmuseum in co-operation with Goteborgs Konsthall and Uppsala konstmuseum. Curator: Marianne Hultman. A catalogue with conversations between Fanny Ambjornsson, Gertrud Sandqvist and Annica Karlsson Rixon is being produced in conjunction with the exhibition Text: Exerpt of text by Goteborgs Konsthall.
