‘PARALLELS’ Exhibition at NP33 during SPEGLA photo festival
“In her personal projects Jenny Jacobsson often elevate images we only see when we close our eyes and through that visualizes the limitless possibilities we are provided with.” – SPEGLA
During the SPEGLA photo festival you could see my work through my ‘PARALLELS’ Exhibition in Norrköping, October-November 2017.
SPEGLA was filled with exhibitions, seminars, and workshops and through this special event the story behind and about the photograph were in focus. Images that tells a story, images that makes you feel, that make the world stop, and photos we just pass by. SPEGLA is highlighting it all and questions what we are depicting when we paint with the camera? And why?
I had the honor to be invited both for an exhibition and to do a half day workshop, and hopefully we’ll see each other there again next year?

And so it is time again! A selection of my work is in exhibition at Gothia Towers The Gallery in Göteborg Jan 15th – 31st, 2016, this time in the company of the wonderful photographers and artists Thomas Feiner, Johannes Berner, and Johan Lund. The description is:
“A photo experience beyond the ordinary is visiting The Gallery.“
The exhibition is presented by Sandeng Art and their team has set up an awesome display and still life in the gallery windows, and to my image The incongruity they have created an interpretation of the photo setting. Go check it out!
You can read more about the exhibition and us artists at The Gallery’s site. The Gallery is the beautiful art showroom of Gothia Towers, located between the hotel lobby and the Swedish Exhibition Centre (Svenska Mässan).
“PARALLEL WORLDS” – Solo exhibition at Gothia Towers The Gallery
It was a great honor having my solo exhibition, ‘PARALLEL WORLDS’ at Gothia Towers The Gallery in Göteborg Sept 22 – Oct 8, 2015.
“The photographic exhibition invites you into worlds we see when closing our eyes, conceptualized and told through Jenny Jacobson’s camera, creative image construction and strong narrative.
Included are 3 brand new, yet not shown, works. The exhibition is presented and produced by Sandeng Art, and we are all proud and eager to show you the beautifully and carefully made works.”
The Gallery is the beautiful art showroom of Gothia Towers, located between the hotel lobby and the Swedish Exhibition Centre (Svenska Mässan). And wall to wall simultaneously to the exhibit the largest fair of the year, Göteborg Book fair, took place, filling the gallery with a staggering amount of creative people. I couldn’t be more happy about the arrangement and the resulting event. ‘Parallel worlds’ is available for new venues and if you missed this one I hope to exhibit soon again, close to your location.
The last image in this blog post is from the opening, and it was filled with so much wonderful inspiring people, both new acquaintances and old friends. An incredibly warm thank you to all of you wonderful people, sharing the moment with me, for the incredibly nice conversations, and for all the shared passion.
‘Forty Faces’ – Self Portraiture Art Exhibition at Sandell Gallery
Last week the doors opened to Sandell Gallery and the exhibition »Forty Faces«, a fantastic collection exhibition with a motley crew of art pieces themed Self Portraiture. 40 artists, 40 self portraits, different media, and me and my ’The unveiling’ from series ‘Parallels‘ is one of them.
“Self-portrait is the only motif that has stood the test of time. Almost all artists in the last five hundred years have sooner or later chosen to paint his own face and his own body.”

ENJOY THIS TEXT FROM THE EXHIBITION BOOK (in Swedish):
Ett självporträtt, en bild av sig själv. En avbildning av sin själ. Sitt yttersta och sitt innersta. Att kunna berätta och blotta är en konst. Att framställa sig själv. Det krävs mod och självinsikt.
Hur visar vi oss själva? Ett ansikte. Rätt upp och ner eller med ett kommatecken däremellan. Vad är det som är just jag? Kanske en symbol, ett uttryck eller ett par intensiva ögon – en blick som säger allt. Eller allt annat utom det. En dansande bild på dig på en äng. Något som visar energin. Självporträtt, avbildningar, har funnits i alla tider. Några av historiens mest kända konstverk är just självporträtt – Rembrandt, Leonardo da Vinci och van Gogh. I dagens läge är vi våra egna konstnärer. Vi skapar självporträtt utan att kanske tänka på det. Knäpper av ögonblick. Avbildar oss under en förändring. Exponerar oss på internet. »Jag ska bara ta en selfie.« Bekanta och obekanta gör tummen upp och hjärtar våra ansikten.
I forty faces har 40 konstnärliga personer blottat sina själar. Skapat och exponerat. 40 konstnärliga personer från olika delar av världen. Med mod och självinsikt.
