Jennie Rosberg, ”Utan titel (närmare)”, 2015 Jennie Rosberg awarded the 2015 Lewenhaupt Grant Claës Lewenhaupt’s scholarship foundation for young photographers was established after his death in 1990. The aim of the foundation is to award an annual grant to improve opportunities for young photographers to benefit from further training or to fulfil a photographic idea. The foundation has its seat in Landskrona and the board currently consists of Tonie Lewenhaupt, Gerry Johansson, Janne Jönsson and Göran Nyström. In 2014 the grant had been awarded fifteen times. Jennie Rosberg (born 1977) has now been awarded the grant for 2015. Jennie lives in Malmö and works as an artist and photographer. She trained at London South Bank University (BA Hons Digital Photography) and at the School of Photography, Gothenburg University (MFA Photography). Jennie mainly works with photography in her art, but also with installation and text. She has previously participated in exhibitions including Galleri Pictura in Lund, Göteborgs Konsthall, Galleri Breadfield in Malmö and Fotografins Hus in Stockholm, and she has had solo exhibitions at Rummet [format] in Malmö, at Mono Galleri in Östersund and Galleri Monitor in Gothenburg. Among other things, Jennie has been awarded project grants by the Swedish Arts Grants Committee, earned a grant from Eric Ericsons Stiftelse, and is represented in the art collection of Region Skåne. The board has decided to award this year’s grant to Jennie Rosberg with the following citation: For classical photography, light and shade, black and grey tones, are fundamental for a good picture. For this year’s recipient, Jennie Rosberg, this is self-evident, as she demonstrates through the much longed-for directness of her pictorial language. Jennie’s pictures communicate a calm charged with dynamic light and sometimes also accentuated by a piece of genuine surrealism. The grant will be awarded during Landskrona Foto Festival 2015, where Jennie will also participate with an exhibition at Landskrona Museum.
