Index has a history of more than 40 years behind it. Firstly, with a focus on photography and publishing, and for the last 25 years with contemporary art as its cultural sphere. Index has multiple public roles as an art institution. Index understand that the role of an art institution like Index does not begin and end with an exhibition – instead there is an ongoingness to the activities, research processes, learning programs and relationships between Index, artists and audiences. 

During Stockholm Art Week, Index will host a curator-led introduction to the exhibition Madeleine Andersson: SHOCK VALUE. You are welcome to join for a cup of coffee and an enlightening conversation in the gallery.

SHOCK VALUE, a solo exhibition by Madeleine Andersson, bringing together new and existing sculptures and video works in a total installation. Andersson investigates the paradox of the “scientific method”, where on the one side science must be constantly questioned whereas on the other it must be considered fact. Andersson’s multimedia installation questions science inherent fixation on progression and results, and instead explores its experimental, absurd, stupid and almost artistic nature. Madeleine Andersson (b. 1993, Jönköping, SE) is an artist based in Copenhagen, with a research-based practice which concerns the absurdity of technology, science and human intelligence. The work by Andersson has previously exhibited at O–Overgaden, Copenhagen (2024), documenta institute, Kassel (2024), Vermillion Sands, Copenhagen (2024), Färgfabriken, Stockholm (2023); NSFW, Gothenburg (2023),Bærum Kunsthal (2022) and Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Copenhagen (2022).
