ANATOMICA
- You must sit downe, sayes Love, and taste my meat
30.8 — 18.9 2024

During the process of putting together ANATOMICA (You must sit downe,
sayes Love, and taste my meat, Ida Idaida chose to give in to her body, and
the demanding reality of everyday pain and treatments. The resulting pieces
reveal a more intimate side of Ida’s practice, where drawing, soft textures
and vibrations invite the spectators to join in the soft and sometimes violent
bubble of her practice.

Ida Idaida (*1990, Mora, Sweden) is a multimedia artist and sculptor based in
Stockholm. She received her master degree from the Royal Academy of Fine
Arts in Stockholm in 2018. Her practice, involving monumental sculptures and
sketches, draws on movements of pain, trauma and horror between bodies.
The sculptures – wooden, metal, textile mechanical structures – result from
intensive physical investment and evokes as much industrial era machines as
middle ages torture devices. Inviting the spectator to repetitive, obsessive
activation, she opens up a space of crossings, where processual, sensorial
bodily dialogues retain their violence as much as their intimacy. This sensible
materiality reveals as much the limit of one’s body and its leakage through pain.

The exhibition is supported by Göteborgs stad
and Swedish Arts Council.
