Michael Johansson is a Swedish installation artist based in Malmö, known for precisely assembled sculptures and installations made from ready-made objects that he describes as ‘real life Tetris’. His work has been shown across Europe, Asia and beyond, and ranges from ephemeral site-specific installations to large-scale permanent public commissions cast in bronze.
What we cover:
• The art school realisation: being technically skilled at drawing is not the same as knowing what kind of art you want to make
• Sourcing from flea markets and secondhand stores
• Institutional installations made entirely from objects borrowed from a museum's own back rooms and storage
• Residencies for installation artists and the newer model he thinks would work much better
• The Taiwan passport disaster: two days to install a large site-specific work and why it turned out almost too good to be true
• Time as the greatest challenge: procrastinating until the last possible moment and forgetting to eat
• Moving a whole city: why an entire Swedish town is being relocated and how his new project is linked
