EXHIBITION AND ARTIST INFORMATION

11/11/23 - 11/11/24 *Comeback to softness* - Marine Douet

OM UTSTÄLLNINGEN I began few months ago to paint according to a very simple meditative protocol. To meditate while painting is a way to be more receptive to other beings. The title of the exhibition at Busstorget in Östersund "comeback to softness" refers to this protocole and to its possible impact in a busstation as going back to softness is also coming back to earth. The experience I propose with this painting is a pause.

OM KONSTNÄREN Born in 1984, graduated of the school of fine arts of Marseille in 2012.

11/09/23 - 11/11/23  Capturing the colors of stones - Meng-Chan Yu

OM UTSTÄLLNINGEN Rocks and soil are probably the most common and neglected visible elements on earth. In this age of rapid technological development, can man surpass nature?  In the cabinet you can see my attempt to capture the colors of natural stone using clay, ceramic pigments, and locally sourced soil. I started the research during my artist-in-residence in Fränsta in 2022. Inspired by the natural richness of the area, I collected stones from lakes and rivers and studied them by making sketches. Guided by my knowledge of ceramics, I try to translate the stone colors into ceramic formulas as materials for creating artificial stones. The elements are then fired in wood and electronic kilns.  There are four stones - two natural and two made by me. Can you tell which is artificial and which is natural? Can I imitate nature?

OM KONSTNÄREN Meng-Chan Yu is a visual artist specializing in materials research and the integration of their properties with artistic concepts. She began her studies in Fine Arts in Taiwan and later came to Germany and Finland to further develop her conceptual and interdisciplinary skills. Her inspiration comes from observations of the natural environment, and society. Her artistic process is concept-driven and fortified by material experimentation. By investigating the properties of the materials, she explores the possibilities they reveal and applies that knowledge to her artistic practice, thereby giving concrete expressions to abstract concepts. Meng-Chan Yu works and lives in Kiel, Germany.

11/5/23 - 11/7/23 Vihjaila - Ida Isak Westerberg OM UTSTÄLLNINGEN Ordet ‘Vihjaila’ betyder förmedla dold information, viska aningar på meänkieli. Här ser ni handvävda vävar som färgats med myrväxter och formats med frismock. Tillsammans med broderade partier i läggsöm och detaljer i guldbroderi berättas en historia som är svår att greppa men som öppnar upp sig allt eftersom. OM KONSTNÄREN Ida Isak Westerberg (1986) är en konstnär som bor och verkar dels i Luleå men även på familjens gård i Tornedalen några mil norr om Övertorneå. Med en utbildning från Handarbetets vänner är vävningen det främsta uttrycket men andra material och tekniker dyker också upp - det är inte längre konstnären, utan myren, som visar vägen. 

11/3/23 - 11/5/23 Frida Krohn - Bara 10 minuters väntan

OM UTSTÄLLNINGEN

Bara 10 minuters väntan

Grått svart marinblått. Till bussen. På bussen. Från bussen. Grus och slask. 

En gympasko i rosa. Ett märke på en ryggsäck orange. Reklam i gult. 

En tygpåse i rött och lila. Ett godispapper som glimmar  som diamant. 

OM KONSTNÄREN Frida Krohn, bor på Värmdö, uppväxt i Hidinge, Örebro län. Utbildad på Konsthögskolan i Umeå och Konstfack. Arbetar med måleri och teckning. Driver sedan 2010 Konsthall323 tillsammans med Ylva Trapp, en konsthall i en bil. 

11/1/23 - 11/3/23 Irina Laaja - PUSH THROUGH

OM UTSTÄLLNINGEN Kroppens komplexitet och signifikation fascinerar mig; hur något så konkret och självklart också är så krångligt och svårt. Hur syner på, och definitioner av sexualitet, normalitet och obscenitet vävts in, mellan och genom vår fysik och undermedvetna. Jag arbetar främst med mixed media skulptur och textil, ofta med tekniker och metoder som annars förknippas med hantverk och mönsterkonstruktion. SKÅPETS format och position ledde mig till att börja fantisera om vad som fortsätter bakom och bortom det. En kropp? En abstrakt form? En plats? I min fantasi blev utställningsplatsen ett fönster till, och ett möte med detta levande, föränderliga något som växer, rör sig och vill pressa sig igenom. Verket är gjort av enbart återvunnet material. Jag strävar generellt efter att mestadels använda återvunna, ekologiska eller på annat sätt miljövänliga material och metoder.

OM KONSTNÄREN Irina Laaja, f. 1989, kommer ursprungligen från Vasa, Finland. Hon tog sin masterexamen i Fri konst från Umeå konsthögskola 2020 och hennes arbete har visats på grupputställningar både i Sverige och internationellt, samt på separatutställningar såsom ReTramp Gallery Berlin (2017), Galleri Majkens Stockholm (2018), RYMD Gallery Reykjavik (2019), Galleri Alva Umeå (2022) etc. Hon har tilldelats stipendier och utmärkelser inklusive Kungliga Konsthögskolan (2020), förstapristagare av New Emergence Art Unity Award (2020) med flera. Irina bor och arbetar för närvarande i Umeå, Sverige.

Press Release:

Lap-See Lam’s much anticipated debut exhibition at Galerie Nordenhake Stockholm continues to draw on her lyrical and charged exploration of the Cantonese diaspora in Sweden through the history of Chinese restaurants in Stockholm.

In a scenographed group of new sculptures and an immersive Virtual Reality journey we are taken on a real-time archeological dig that, like a sci-fi sub-genre, appears both ancient and futuristic. Instead of exploring historical civilizations Lam summons apparitions from her family’s legacy in the city. But Lam’s work is not limited to the biographical. Using fiction as a tool and the particular interior aesthetics of these restaurants as a formal language, Lam draws attention to the cultural history of these spaces and how the idea of a place constructs notions of cultural identity and belonging.

In the first space Lam reifies fragments from now-defunct restaurants’ interiors by extracting data from 3D scans. Chairs, a table, a stove, all take form as ruins, like the disintegrating furniture of a ship wreck seen through a watery mirage. Digitally stripped down to their bare shell-like surfaces, the environments are rendered as slivers of space and time.

A neon ghost illuminates the following room in cherry-red. The figure is not a threatening spectre but an ancestor – a conduit for previous generations, stitched together from the fragments of people accidentally captured in the 3D scans of the real world restaurants. It sits sentry and oversees the passage through to a staged dining room. As in séance, visitors seat themselves at a round table where they are transported via VR headsets into another spatial reality. A story narrated, perhaps by the ghost, accompanies the viewer through architectural spaces that are rendered as skins, at once both familiar and alien. Rooms are suspended in a void and dislocated from the infrastructure of their physical surroundings.

Within these disembodied establishments, which we individually populate in our VR spaces, Lam reveals hidden histories and futures. The exhibition constitutes an expanded anthropological enquiry that explores the fluidity of language, identity and cultural histories.

Lap-See Lam was born 1990 in Stockholm. She has a major upcoming solo exhibition at Bonniers Konsthall opening 25th January 2022. Her work is currently exhibited at in (Un)homed at Uppsala Konstmuseum and in a focussed presentation in the collection at Moderna Museet, Stockholm. Solo exhibitions include Skellefteå Konsthall, Skellefteå (2019); Moderna Museet Malmö (2018–2019); and Bonniers Konsthall, Stockholm (2018). She has taken part in group exhibitions at venues including Performa 19 in New York (2019), Metamorphosis – Art in Europe Now, currently nominated for the Global Fine Art Award, at Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain, Paris (2019); Luleå Biennial (2018), Kópavogur Art Museum, Kópavogur (2018); Kendra Jayne Patrick, New York City (2018); and Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Copenhagen (2017). Lam is a recipient of the Maria Bonnier Dahlin Foundation Grant (2017).

Curator of roaming exhibition of unrealized art projects «Big Country, Big Ideas» in 12 cities: Alexander Burenkov

The objective of the exhibition «Big Country, Big Ideas» is to bring forth the uniqueness and versatility of the art from Russia’s regions for both the wider public and the international professional community, highlighting the creative potential in Russian cities beside Moscow. Equally important, it introduces new names into the global art context. The ideas for still-unrealized projects by regional artists range from models to drafts, to sketches in both traditional media and digital technologies. The exhibition helps to get the attention of both local authorities and the general public in order to nd solutions to overcome obstacles in production that face artists today. The modular architecture of the exposition, designed by one of the leading young architectural bureaus in Russia, the Rhizome Group, is specially devised for displaying art projects that have not been realized yet. The size of the exhibition varies according to the venue and the number of local unrealized ideas incorporated. It also includes an extensive parallel educational program: a discussion platform, work- shops, portfolio reviews and meetings with artists and art critics. Internationally renowned curators and researchers in contemporary culture give lectures in each city, presenting both practical insight about realizing projects in the eld of contemporary culture, and analysis of the most popular global trends in contemporary art.
