Peter Picasso
Vad skiljer konst från humor, och vad har de två fenomenen gemensamt? Redan Aristoteles brottades med detta problem. Medan filosoferna grubblar och konstnärerna målar drattar clowner på ändan och virtuosa komiker vitsar. Alla efter sin näbb. Kanske borde de lära mer av varandra, utvinna guld ur varandras gruvor? Pablo Picasso runt Tomelilla Konsthall sommaren 2023 är Peter Johanssons största utställning någonsin. Den består av 22 nyproducerade filmer, byggnadsverk, skulpturer och måleri bland annat 100 äkta Picassodukar, handmålade av Peter Johansson under två produktiva dagar.Trots utställningens titel är det inte Pablo Picasso som är huvudperson. Utställningen är en hommage till två av konstnären Johanssons största förebilder: humorduon Hasse & Tage och deras filmiska mästerverk från 1978, Picassos äventyr.I katalogen Peter Picasso skriver författaren och radioprofilen Kalle Lind om Hasse & Tage, Picassos äventyr och Tomelilla; medan författaren Ulrika Knutson skriver om Peter Johansson och Pablo Picasso, samt sätter utställningen i ett sammanhang; och Peter Johansson själv berättar om utställningen och dess tillblivelse. Katalogen är rikt illustrerad med fotografier från inspelningen av Picassos äventyr 1977 och från inspelningarna av Peter Picasso, samt med bilder från utställningen sommaren 2023.
