Vivian Suter in Sweden: lightness, chance, and openness

The Moderna Museet Malmö presents I Am Godzilla, the first solo exhibition of Vivian Suter in Sweden, featuring over 350 works, including new and previously unseen pieces.

Born in Argentina and based in Guatemala, Vivian Suter integrates natural elements into her work. Leaves, branches, and rain leave their imprint on her canvases, embodying an organic and spontaneous artistic language. This approach reflects a profound dialogue between human creativity and environmental forces.

An immersive and fluid installation

The exhibition transforms the museum’s Turbine Hall into a dynamic space where paintings hang freely, defying conventional display methods. The interplay of light, shadow, and movement reinforces the sense of chance and openness that defines Suter’s work. The result is a vibrant landscape that immerses the viewer in a sensory experience.

A critical perspective on contemporary art

Suter’s practice challenges traditional notions of authorship and artistic control. By embracing unpredictability, she aligns with contemporary debates on ecological awareness and the deconstruction of rigid artistic structures. Her work resonates with broader discussions on sustainability, materiality, and the evolving relationship between art and nature.

Exhibition details

I Am Godzilla is open at the Moderna Museet Malmö until August 31, 2025. The exhibition invites audiences to explore a fluid and evolving artistic practice that redefines the boundaries between painting and installation.
