MATTER/MEMORY – AN ALTERNATIVE STARTING POINT

PRESS RELEASE

This project has grown from an ongoing dialogue among artists Bård Breivik, Jan Håfström, and Anders Knutsson, along with art critics Douglas Feuk, Bo Nilsson, and Lars Nittve. The project has taken its concrete form in the exhibition Matter/Memory.

We have aimed to break away from the conventional exhibition system, where the artist either independently or in collaboration with the institution prepares the exhibition. In the Matter/Memory exhibition, the starting point has been collaboration among the artists, the organizing institution, and the critics. This cooperation has been enriching for all parties involved, both conceptually and practically. The catalog texts and exhibition materials form an organic connection.

The exhibition will be presented at Lunds Konsthall, Kunstnernes Hus in Oslo, Pori Art Museum, Kunsthalle Helsinki, and Charlottenborg Exhibition Hall in Copenhagen.
