Dali Dali and Vezzoli


Yesterday I went to Moderna Museet (the Museum of Modern Art) in Stockholm to see the exhibition "Dali Dali featuring Vezzoli", together with my friend Sonja and her daughter.

Just like Dali as a person and artist was filled with surprises, the exhibition was also versatile and filled with surprises. At first glance I thought it was just a very classical exhibition with a large room filled with his famous thirties classical surrealistic paintings. Even if this was wonderful to see I was almost a bit disappointed, but then we saw this door that led to the next room and there were all of his more crazy art work, as well as Vezzolis work from this century. It was such a fun exhibition with Dali's famous female mouth formed as jewelry, there were video clips and installations and small sculptural art work. My god daughter who is five was totally immersed in this really funny video where Dali shows the effects of Alca Zeltzer by painting the effects on a model.

Vezzoli's art-works that play with media and the idolisation of today's famous people were also very very good.

Well worth a visit!
