Solo exhibition, Galleri Monitor, Gothenburg, 2026.
In In Regrettable Recognition of Military Aesthetics Tova Nyberg is choosing to immerse herself in the aesthetics of the very thing she is both drawn to and appalled by. Exploring ways of resistance utilizing the attributes of what is resisted. Pledging to the aesthetics while questioning the pledge.
Hollowed out symbols of glory meet the desperate resistance of the seemingly powerless people. Three works born from confliction.

Underdog
