Allan McCollum (born 1944 in Los Angeles) is one of America's most widely acclaimed contemporary artists. In this first midcareer exhibition in Scandinavia he will be installing over 22,200 immaculately crafted objects, transforming the Rooseum in Malmö into an environment of dazzling theatricality.

McCollum's work centres on the tension between the uniformity of the mass product and the authentic and exclusive character of the work of art. Notions of variety and uniqueness, authenticity and reproduction, are clearly reflected in the five large series he has created since the 70s: Plaster Surrogates (only largest size on view in this exhibition), PerfectVehicles (100 small and 18 large on view), Individual works (more than 20,000), Perpetual Photos (17) and Drawings (more than 2000). Each of these series consists of an ever growing number of appearently identical yet, on closer inspection, different and unique objects.
