Under Pressure
a Misschief Takeover
Under Pressure gives us a glimpse into Minna Palmqvist's world were mirrors reflect distorted images and pink materia can't be contained.
Minnas pieces questions bodily norms – how we move in private and public spheres and how capitalist, neoliberal structures mold us and get into our heads.
In dealing with highly conflicting feelings about the fashion industry, Minna is always exploring new ways of working around the system, while still returning to her recurring themes and expressions.
What we see in this exhibition started out with a mangle machine, using literal physical pressure to deform and renew overstock garments and old collection leftovers - a way of examining the weight of our society on our bodies and minds.
