Stretch began as an attempt to define what we perceived as an increasingly
distinct phenomenon within contemporary art. Namely the idea of a flow as
opposed to the single image or object as bearer of the "truth" of the
artwork. A flow of images and signals which is often expressed in moving
images has also influenced artists' in their work with still pictures.

In all the works that we have selected for Stretch  you can find a
pronounced interest in time. The emphasis is on the extension of the
experience. Video, film, photography and sound flow by and form narratives.
The past, the present and the future are combined in a non-chronological
flow.

In connection with the exhibition, a seminar is organized by IASPIS/Daniel
Birnbaum and Galleri Index, September 6th, 4 pm at IASPIS, Fredsgatan 12,
Stockholm. Among the participants: Francesco Bonami (curator and critic)
and Stan Douglas (artist).

We have produced an exhibition catalogue which has been designed by Lotta
K�¼hlhorn.

1 pm at Tensta Konsthall, Taxingegr�¤nd 10, Stockholm, Sweden.
