Restlessmind’s sculpture and performance project ”Objects have feelings too!” challenges the idea of identity, the true self and how we as humans try to define each other. The audience will experience installations, photographs, video works, sculptures in a variety of materials. At Galleri Konstepidemin Restlessminds enter the roles of behavioral scientists who conduct research on objects of any kind.

Restlessminds is an artist duo consisting of Fabian Olovson (b.1981) and Emily Al-Ghussein (b.1977).
With their complex identity and confused mindset, they confront current concepts and contemporary perceptions. In their projects they experiment with the visitors’ attendance and participation. They have a great desire to combine and create contrasts between materials. As sculptors their outcome can be multifaceted, they create photographs, performances, social interventions, videos and sculptures.

At the beginning of their projects, Restlessminds formulate new characters like a role-play and let these personalities be a driving force in the creative process. Olovson and Al-Ghussein have studied at Chelsea Collage of Art in London and at Konstfack in Stockholm. They both graduated with Master degrees in sculpture from the Helsinki Academy of Fine Arts 2014. Together they are active on the experimental contemporary art scene and have carried out a number of major art projects both in Sweden and internationally. 2017 they got the “Promising Young artists” award by the Merita Art Foundation.
