Objects Subjected: The Brilliant Works of Michael Johansson, Part 2 – Regulating Irregularity

Brown furnitures, brown objects, glass objects
As we mentioned in an earlier post today, we love Swedish artist Michael Johansson’s work from salvaged flea market finds. But these are the works of Michael Johansson’s that really caught my eye, pieces that leave me in awe because he assembles them in the way I wish I could clean my apartment: Taking disparate objects and organizing them into neat, tidy cubes. He paradoxically standardizes individuality, organizes chaos, and makes the irregular, regular.
