THE WRONG HOUSE
Distance/Timing/Precision
Martin Ålund/ Mathieu Verhaeghe / Malin Arnedotter Bengtsson
Distance/Timing/Precision is a visual dialogue between two Swedisch and one Belgian artist. Swedish artists Martin Ålund and Malin Arnedotter Bengtsson and Belgian artist Mathieu Verhaeghe. The title indicates the area of tension these artists have in their working process. The expo challenges each artist to step out of the safe environment of their studio and enter into a dialogue with each other and the public.
In doing so, they reflect on the position of the artist.

Martin Ålund
Martin Ålund is a Swedish visual artist, born in 1967 in Skelleftå. He lives and works in Stockholm. He was educated at the Royal Institute of Art, and has received many prizes and scholarships, including the Maria Bonnier Dahlin Scholarship. He is represented in several museums, and in public as well as private collections. He exhibits frequently, nationally and internationally, in solo and group exhibitions.
Mathieu Verhaeghe
With a background in philosophy, Mathieu Verhaeghe’s practice sits at the tension between art, existential weight and humour. His ongoing Rack and Sausage Series of paintings utilise pork intestines typically used to make sausages, together with various types of paint, including acrylic, oil or discarded house paint. Partly inspired by Iberian sausage-making techniques, the works are at once an investigation of painting, yet also deadpan phallic objects, with additional associations of death or slaughter.
Malin Arnedotter Bengtsson
Malin Arnedotter Bengtsson works with performance, sculptural and time-based expressions inspired by fairy tales, fables, theatre, film and architecture.
