Again and Again
Theodor Ander / Mia Carl
30 January – 21 February 2026
“Again and again” sits in the repetition and the projection that is made in the existence of materiality. If such repetition is possible, it must be expressed simultaneously: a singularity set against the general, and a universality set against the particular. A notable element opposed to the ordinary fact; an instant opposed to variation; or an eternity opposed to permanence. Repetition, then, is transgressive in a way that leads us to consider that there is no such thing as either particularity or generality.
In Difference and Repetition, Deleuze gives voice to Hume, who says that repetition does not modify the object, but changes the way in which it is perceived. It is a momentary material state. Does by definition repetition unravels as it takes place? In a transgressive manner drifts from stability, it sits in the process, in the participation. An irresolute process of building potentiates.
”I try to bear witness to the vital materialities that flow through and around us.” 1.
In the bright periphery
In the middle of a dark sea
Where our world floats 2.

Theodor Ander (b.1991, Sweden)
Theodor Ander is a Stockholm based sculptor holding an MFA from Konstfack, Stockholm (2025). Rooted in craftsmanship, his practice spans sculpture, collages and installation, merging large scale forms with crafted details and found objects. Attentive to the inherent language of materials, Ander allows their qualities to guide the process rather than imposing predetermined forms. Found objects and scrap material serve as both limitation and catalyst, setting works into motion shaping their direction.
His practice explores the intersections of body, machine, intimacy, and disease. Where the body is a central point in his work, both as motif and as measure for his sculptures. Decisions of form and scale often emerge in relation to his own body; a foot, leg, or forearm becomes a unit of measure, creating a direct mirroring, a sense that the works are bodily extensions.
Mia Carl (b. 1991, Denmark)
Mia Carl (DK) works with a continuous investigation of landscape and architecture, as two forces leaning toward one another; informing and pushing. In her work, ideas emerge about how specific places can open up and expand, about inner states turned outward, and about the narratives that are constantly being negotiated within our shared surroundings. Her practice revolves around architectural references and the visible landscape, which in her works materialize as both physical objects and allegorical spaces where our collective and personal histories with nature come to the fore. Within this space, she poses questions of beauty and vulnerability, of decay, connectedness, and dissolution.
She works across media, including sculpture, painting, text, and site-specific interventions. Carl is educated at the Bergen Academy of Art and Design (NO) and has also participated in the Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen Programme for Art in Public Spaces at the Funen Art Academy, led by Marie Lund and Francesca Astesani. In addition, she has worked in a stone workshop in Italy and holds a bachelor’s degree in urban planning from Roskilde University.
