“The Angel in the House” was based on Patmore’s first wife, whom he saw as the perfect woman: a graceful hostess and the quiet, modest protector of the home. In her 1931 essay “Professions for Women”, Virginia Woolf describes how she had to kill this angel. Creation involves sacrifice.
Six womxn designers have been invited by Misschiefs to participate in the FINE DYING collection based on Woolf’s words and the idea of Fine Dining. Anna Nordström, ButchXFemme, Isa Andersson, Lotta Lampa, Maria Pita Gerreiro and Sara Szyber have each created unique objects and artefacts that are arranged on a long dinner table. Each object is handmade in Sweden and sold as a unique piece.
The installation was first shown in Stockholm in 2021 and then in Milan in 2022. It will open at the Institut suédois in September 2023 with the additional participation of the multi-disciplinary French artist Popline Fichot. In addition, Misschiefs have invited the Norwegian artist Yngvild Saeter and the Swedish artist Klara Fahrman to present their work away from the dinner table.
