(In Swedish only)

Från pressrelease:
Fråga inte vem det är utan hur det känns? säger Lisa Jonasson om sina motiv. I utställningen sammanförs två konstnärskap, som genom ett distinkt färg- och formspråk satt sin prägel på svenskt konstliv. De har öppnat dörrar mot olika scenrum och skapat egna alternativa verkligheter. I Lisa Jonassons detaljerade pappersklipp är kroppen ett membran mellan andliga och fysiologiska processer. Matti Kallioinens storskaliga mobila skulpturer söker sig både mot artificiell intelligens, matematiska principer och bakåt mot ritiska uttryck.

I dream of a point from which the beginning of every apocalypse can be observed, and that I am a captive at that point. Above my head, I see all the disasters in the world being born: hurricanes growing from light sea breezes, tsunami waves rising from vibrations in the earth’s crust, toxic gases slowly emanating from the Siberian tundra. Suddenly my prison warden says: Your turn is coming up. That’s impossible, I think to myself. After all, I’m still well-dressed, I’m still young, it’s still light and my shoe heels are still full of morphine.

V1 Gallery presents

Strange Are the Ways of Man

A solo exhibition by Kent Iwemyr

V1 Gallery is pleased to present the exhibition Strange Are the Ways of Man by Kent Iwemyr.

Kent Iwemyr crafts poetic, pictorial ballads. Intimate tableaus rendered with raw brushstrokes in acrylic on linen, sparse and open compositions sing songs about his local community in the small post-industrial town of Hallstahammar in rural Sweden, where he was born in 1944 and still lives and works.

Listen to a radio program by Katarina Wikars on Swedish Radio with Jockum Nordström and Magnus Karlsson about Bruno Knutman’s exhibition at the gallery (in Swedish).
