Title: Chicken Strikken
Description: Lisa Anne Auerbach's solo exhibition at Malmö Konsthall will not appear as an ordinary exhibition. The exhibition consists of 25 handknitted sweaters worn by all of Malmö Konsthall staff. The designs are all made by Auerbach, but this time she has included and mixed her own words and statements with chosen statements from staff and knitters. As the staff is wearing the sweaters the audience will have to be patient to get to see them all and possibly get closer to the staff than usual -- simply to look at and read the works. In this way the level of intimacy between audience and staff will change.
