17 May
One Ear to the Ground and the Other to the Sky
Madelene Gunnarsson, CuratorLab
Thursday, May 17, 12-4 p.m., Konstfack’s library
Konstfack CuratorLab participant Madelene Gunnarsson is pleased to invite you to the presentation of her final project at Konstfack Degree Exhibition 2018. One Ear to the Ground and the Other to the Sky takes its starting point in documented conversations between artists about permanent and site-specific art in the public space. The artwork, the space, the artistic idea and the work process are in focus, while audio recordings from the site are used as documentary and compositional tools to embody the social, spatial and ephemeral layers of the scene.

Ritualia – för att få mig att bli hel

Fia-Maria Nilsson, Bachelor’s programme in Textiles
Thursday (during vernissage), May 17, 5:30 p.m., Basement part I
Duration: 45 minutes
A ritual with the weave as the tool, to make the mind listen, to make the body talk.
We need to talk you and I, in a place that is our own. There, we see everything around us as less important. There, I sink into you, live, and tell everything. To take back the power over you. To take back the power over the events that destroyed us both. There, I become a part of myself, and then, nothing else is visible.

Duration/How long: 4 hours
“My people have been wearing green glasses on their eyes for so long that most of them think that this really is an emerald city” – The Wizard of Oz
Each character in the Wizard of Oz is seeking, wanting something, feels a need or desire, but what they find in the end is not what they thought they were looking for. The green glasses they don upon entry to the Emerald City give them another perspective, allow them to see what they thought they lacked, but carried with them all along. The process of research is thus, too – I search, I gather, I am unsure, then I put on new glasses to see things I didn’t know I already knew.
Playing with this idea, challenging our preconceptions, in this workshop we would like to invite visitors to tell us what they are looking for, so that we can make them a pair of glasses according to their own personal prescription; shaping your own filters to amplify or distort the view of the world, either literally through the lenses or more symbolically through crafting glasses with certain qualities or even powers.

Pussy Riot – om politisk aktivism genom praktik
Måndag, 21 maj, kl 10-12 i Svarta havet
Konstnärerna och Pussy Riot-medlemmarna Lusine Djanyan och Aleksej Knedljakovskij föreläser om bland annat politisk aktivism genom praktik och hur den ryska politiska konsten ofta använder extrema uttryck, något som anses nödvändigt under en regim där allt fler tystas och censuren gör att det blir allt svårare att nå ut.
