Her research practice proposes alternative historisations and speculative structures to expose and disrupt the psycho-social dimensions of knowledge production. This eclectic collection of things allows her to investigate the intersection of science and pop culture; their self-experimentation, quest of inner truth and struggle with inhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Andersson has previously exhibited at venues including Moderna Museet, Stockholm (2025); Kunsthall Trondheim (2025); Index &#8211; The Swedish Contemporary Art Foundation, Stockholm (2025); documenta institute, Kassel (2024); F\u00e4rgfabriken, Stockholm (2023) and Galerie 35m2, Prague (2023).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>~<br><br>Text by Mandus Ridefelt and Madeleine Andersson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join us for the lecture performance Toilet Science and The Rise of Sewer Protestantism by artist and current AHC resident Madeleine Andersson, followed by a conversation with Lars Bang Larsen on Wednesday 4 February at 19-21.30! \u201cWe live in a time where it is difficult to understand even the most basic stuff around us.
