Adela Jušić "I did nothing wrong"

The exhibition "I did nothing wrong" is opening 29th of January at 19:00.

Adela Jušić (1982) from Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina is co-founder and working at Association for Culture and Art CRVENA on different cultural and feminist projects. The artist is working with performance, video and installation.

This exhibition of Adela Jušić’s work brings together key pieces from the last eight years. These are artworks that trace the contours of a national trauma, framed in an intensely personal lens. In a world of seemingly perpetual neo-liberal resource wars and competing propaganda, it is forgivable for a 2016 audience to lose the thread of past conflicts, to have the details of individual battles and atrocities run into one another without differentiation. In an era of the perpetual present, where the unremarkable personal anecdote and life-event  is given relentless significance on social media, we could be forgiven for a gentle indifference to an art practice based on personal biography. 

These works act as a sharp corrective to the disinterested and jaded Western gaze, and as a provocation to our blunted sense of empathy.

"Homesick" Sofia Runarsdotter

Vernissage fredag 20.11 kl 19:00

 

 

"Ett fotografiskt arbete under som utspelar sig under åtta år från min uppväxtplats, en liten by i Västerbotten. Arbetet bejakar teman som identitet, nostalgi och vad vi ska med våra rötter till. Med de utgångspunkterna har jag med landskapet, i detta fall min fars skog som går i arv till oss barn och barnbarn, placerat min familj och fotograferat dem med min polaroidkamera.

En utställning om liv, årstider, uppväxt och död i en tid då "hem" är något  miljoner tvingats fly ifrån med vemodet och årsringar i fokus.​" Sofia Runarsdotter

Sofia Runarsdotter examinerades från Nordens Fotokola, Biskop Arnö 2007 där hon läste bildjournalistik och har sedan dess arbetat heltid som frilansfotograf i Stockholm med inriktning på porträtt och reportage. Hon föreläser, driver workshops och arbetar med konstnärliga projekt.​

IN GOOD FAITH

 A framed black and white photograph showing the stage where the last public reading by Passolini took place in October 1975 at the Italian Culture Institute in Stockholm. Next to it stands a loudspeaker paired with a microphone. The loudspeaker plays the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights repeatedly. For each time the recording has incorporated a new layer to it: the microphone picks up not only the voice reading, but also other sounds present in the space

The Usher.

Underbart är kort, Captain Lightfot har redan hunnit ta till flykten men för de som inte han ta del av utställningen kommer lite info samt bilder.

En guidad mörkervandring varade i ungefär fem minuter, så det gällde att vara observant ifall man ville se allt på första rundan.

Ett transformerat galleri Gro fyllt med alster från konst-kollektivet Captain Lightfot.

Captain Lightfoot presents The Usher 8th of October 18:00

The Usher is the next group exhibition by artist run collective Captain Lightfoot. Working in collaboration with Novia and the YA Fine Arts department Captain Lightfoot will present new works by the three members of the collective; further exploring their ongoing research into narrative in visual art and curating.

Stripping Galleri Gro of its own light and structure a little like the creeping Finnish winter, Captain Lightfoot will create a new and unfamiliar space for the viewer; one primarily of darkness. The Usher is a performative exhibition that intimately leads the viewer through its space. Different artworks and details of the building emerge from the darkness; exposed for varying lengths of time these artworks demand the viewers attention before disappearing again.

Captain Lightfoot act as the usher in this performance; playfully exploring the language created between the artworks themselves and their occupied space, whilst questioning the viewers own placement within this narrative.
