CFHILL at CHART Christine Ödlund and Goldin+Senneby

CFHILL has chosen to present two established Swedish artists in this year’s edition of CHART: Christine Ödlund, whose work has increasingly shaped the field of contemporary painting through her visionary engagement with the unseen forces of nature, and Goldin+Senneby, Simon Goldin and Jakob Senneby, one of Sweden’s most internationally recognised artist duos, known for their conceptually rigorous projects that bridge art, economy, and ecology. In combination, their contrasting practices reveal how art can intersect with science, nature, and systems of knowledge, bringing natural mysticism and scientific experimentation into focus.

Christine Ödlund introduces a new series of monumental works in watercolour, ink, and pencil, depicting hallucinatory root systems, sprouting plants, monuments, and visions. Developed during a residency at the Theosophical Society in Adyar, India, the series marks a shift in her practice. Known for her engagement with plant communication, synaesthesia, and theosophy, she now turns inward, using clairvoyance as subject and method. These works chart an intuitive field where biology, myth, and memory intertwine, reflecting her ongoing exploration of consciousness as a living network.

Goldin+Senneby present Crying Pine (2025), a sapling suspended in pine pine resin, born not in a forest but in a laboratory. At once specimen and monument, it hovers between life and death, charged with the shimmer of pine resin – a material of both healing and wound. Shown together with Multiple Scars, pine resin casts of injured pines in an Estonian forest, the works evoke fragility and repair. In their practice, Goldin+Senneby trace the porous boundaries between body and landscape, economy and ecology, revealing how systems of care are always bound to systems of crisis.
