[Nettime-ro] Narration in Swedish Contemporary Art |
Press release Narration in Swedish Contemporary Art October 23, 2003 - Januari 6, 2004 Norrköping Museum of Art Dejan Antonijevic, Lars Arrhenius, Loulou Cherinet, Stefan Constantinescu, Johan Thurfjell, Petra Lindholm, Cecilia Lundqvist, Tova Mozard, Ylva Ogland, Jockum Nordström, Johannes Sjögren, Alexander Vaindorf, Snezana Vucetic Bohm Welcome to the press viewing Thursday October 23 at 2.00 p.m. Norrköping Museum of Art and Riksutställningar (Swedish Travelling Exhibitions) present Narration in Swedish Contemporary Art, an exhibition that displays work by ten artists whose common denominator is the telling of personal stories. Narration is an art that serves our most basic need to pass on our experiences; it is also a tool that has been experimented with in all artistic fields – such as literature, music and film – as well as within art. All artists in the exhibition work with various kinds of biographical stories, either based on fact, fiction or a combination of the two. A strong interest in the culture one originates from or other cultures is also present in the artworks. The artist Loulou Cherinets piece is included in the exhibition only for short moments at a time. At each opening of the tour of the exhibition, Cherinet will put on a performance work titled Personal Politics where five different TV monitors screen an equal number of Egyptian women. Each describes their lives and ambitions during a nightly taxi journey in either Cairo or Alexandria. Concurrent to the videos being shown five men will simultaneously translate what the women are saying into Swedish. Biological and cultural perspectives may well taint their translations of the women’s stories. For press pictures please visit www.norrkoping.se/konstmuseet or www.riksutstallningar.se Printed matter: A brochure containing a short presentation of the artists and their work will be available. The brochure also includes an essay written by the artist Magnus Bärtås. The brochure is in Swedish. Audioguide An audioguide in Swedish will be available to give guided tours of the exhibition.
