Kristina Torsson

The exhibition takes the audience through her entire artistic career, from her life's work Mah-Jong in the 1960s (in collaboration with Helena Henschen and Veronica Nygren), to the founding of Vamlingbolaget in 1983, her lifelong pattern creation and experimentation with color combinations, and her strong commitment to the Swedish textile industry. The exhibition is produced by Vandalorum with scenography by TAF Studio. A catalogue is published for the exhibition.
