Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends!
I welcome you cordially to the exhibition by Lisa Stone Stalspets and Emaunel Bern. As you have read the basis of the invitation, the exhibition titled "Contemporary Swedish Art". In fact, it is at this description to a rather artificial history. Because what you see here is, of course, no demonstrative show, which presents two outstanding positions Swedish art productions. The exhibition's title plays rather with expectations that are produced by the naming. For what can already offer a nationally-coded word finding? Finally, we encountered only on the shortcomings in the relationship between stories and identities, however it legal language. What are you in this Exhibition will find, however, is exactly what its slogan: two contemporary positions in Sweden. Whatever you expect, what is beyond this simple fact, their own, brought images is due.
we first look at the pictures of Emanuel Bernstone appearing first as a de-personalized space, cool and sterile. The first look is deceptive. Even if one could suspect that this is looked on abandoned spaces and gives a kind of statement one would make it, but too simple. Rather, it is the presentation of gaps, ie, open spaces, the possibilities in to hold that need to be explored. It is not about developing a story, what these empty sites invite, of course, but the view and the reflection of our own expectations that we bring to theaters. And "keep open" about what will happen to us in these rooms. The vagueness and the variability of our own biographies is aware of the architectural landscapes of Bern Emanuel Stone, because that is the readability of its rooms intended primarily. It is therefore a game with the recipient and for his ingenuity in the almost pathological compulsion to narration. For the human beings as well as a narrative required to biographies as after Sites that act as landmarks of our own existence and offer the possibility of reflection. do the formal rigor in Bern Stones images is thus only a means to serve the primacy of the Association, of which we can get rid of neither. After all, while the fundamental constants of our existence. What makes us so self is nothing but the personalization of banal images, ie the filling of historical fragments with emotionally charged memories, such as colors, smells, tastes and feelings. The
this process of narrative in our head is changing with time, change as the most memories and therefore also the value we attach to things, is the theme in Lisa Stalspets work. In her work shows an indefinite fragmented stories, such as frames and disguised dreams. The landscapes that Lisa developed Stalspets are no architectural space, but memory landscapes in which she explores the ways in which we fill places with meanings and mythological charge. Examples of these include the cube before us is called, an attempt to do an adequate representation of the ocean to compress into the smallest space. There are probably few things that are loaded historical and mythological such as the sea, a nautical monster, while a sign of nostalgia, wanderlust, Expedition urge, but also a dangerous and inscrutable terrain, which finds diverse in the history of art in so-called seascapes. Lisa Stalspets has found a charming form tackle this complex issue and choosing on each side of her Ocean a different representation. These refer to the myth in his place, and reduces it to a living room format. The shown video "Dance with a stranger", it deals with ritualization, arising through the context of a meaning. If we meet this ritual but without context, is an absurd art video, where a leaf dance is performed, produces the first aesthetic and scenic qualities developed, but a strange ritual, is like the we can not follow. Not even the unfortunate spectator in the theater seems to know what they really look as closely and looking a bit confused from the laundry. Both positions offer are two possibilities to deal with narratives, once on a visual level, another time at the level of memory work. Two artists from Sweden, no more, but also not less.
I thank the artists that they are here today and we can present their work and open the exhibition by Lisa hereby Stalspets and Emanuel Bern Stone. Thank you for your attention.
