Warmly welcome to Mattias Andersson’s graduation exhibition at Galleri Mejan 24 November – 3 December, opening on 24 November at 17-21.
HEAVENLY FATHER: Room for Parting – Bloodline’s End
‘Tis a pity no pet was present
to consume your corpse
A possible positive purpose
In actuality you parted alone
one year ago
to be found by thy own parent
Cars were your passion;
a total of sixty
One more than
the number of years you could live
I can’t think of anything more tiresome
than exactly everything
that rolls on wheels
But my hands are your hands
You were ugly where I am ugly
We are unbearable
ultracrepidarians
This bloodline must end
Not with a bang or a whimper
Nor with a slash or a crash
but a pledge’
