​CFHILL AT ARME MUSEUM, SWEDEN, in association with Almine Rech Gallery and Marcus Jansen Foundation, presents Faceless, the first solo exhibition by Marcus Jansen in Stockholm. The exhibition brings together new and previously unseen works that merge gestural abstraction, surreal storytelling, and raw urban energy.

"It’s almost impossible to feel human suffering due to the fictions, labels, and entities channeled through the traces of colonialism, including but not limited to man-made race, economics, and religious power structures through which we filter our human emotions first. Painting allows me to feel indiscriminately of these power structures without any of those obstacles in the way.” Marcus Jansen.
Influenced by pre-war German Abstract Expressionism and the authenticity of street art, Jansen moves fluidly between the figurative and abstract. His paintings examine what is revealed and what remains obscured, creating a dialogue of past and present. Faceless invites reflection on the visible and invisible structures that shape the world today.

​UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN MUSEUM OF ART
​A GATHERING 
brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time.As a free, public museum, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations, race, gender, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.
This collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals, as a museum, and as a society, connected to one another across space and experience.
So gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings, to discuss their takes, to learn, to disagree. Gather to relax, make a friend, drink a coffee, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.
