ABF huset 2017










Som medlem i det konstnärsdrivna galleriet Studio 44 har jag varit med i arbetet med genomföra utbytesprojektet Courdoroy, ett utbyte mellan två konstnärsdrivna kulturscener. 
Stockholm- Manchester.  Det blev två utställningar i Stockholm, en på Studio 44 och ytterligare en i ABF:s lokaler på Sveavägen. Ett samarbete jag och ytterligare en deltagare (Nina Wedberg Thulin) tog initiativet till i syfte att nå en annan publik en den vanlige galleribesökaren. För att vara ett ovanligt arrangemang i ABF:huset var det relativt stort antal besökare i huset som tog sig tid att stanna en stund och titta på utställningen och prata om verken.

I found a paper bag full of art cards. My mother hade many of them. Many people wrote postcard to her. On 123 of them she hade put small loops so she could hang them outside her door, a bit like an old facebook. Just for pleasure for some guests, the postman or just for her self. At intervall she changed art cards and hanged others who had loops on them on the nails by the side of her door. They represent an other time, a time whwn it was a special exciting weiting for your thoughts to arrive to your friend in Germany, Usa, Estonia ore wherever you have friends. And to get answer. It was speciall to get home from shool ore work to se if there was a letter or an post card on the carpet. And the time it tooks to write. I remember thet I feld a little bit angry of my father cause he prefered to write his letters on the type maskin, I thought it was so impersonal. Now a letter written on an old typewriter is such a personal appeal. I llove this slowness.
My work is based on how we not always can see the full result of what we have done, not now before...
