Artist’s of the exhibition

Jenny Aschenbrenner (SE)
Sleeping beauty, sleeping fuckface, women sleeping, sleeping it off, never ever awakening, shutting the blinds,
closing the bedroom door – _shush! Do not disturb your mother, she is sleeping. Sleeping it off. Sleeping it all off. Do not disturb your sister, your daughter. Do not disturb your wife. She is sleeping. Until she isn't.
Sleep baby, sleep is a work on isomnia and patriarchy and the importance of keeping women in bed.

Aukea Collective (FI)
Aukea (Expanse) produces temporal change and dissolve. It narrates natural decomposition through selforganization.
Environmental interventions incorporate dissolving natural elements. The outlines of human gestures
blend into the landscape as disappearing expanses and opening ruptures, where seasonal changes, weather, natural
elements — _light and sound frame their form and duration. Aukea is a Finland based artists collective.

JuJe Collective (CA) | www.julierenedecotret.com/jujecollective.html
JuJe Collective stands to represent the interconceptual journey of Julie René de Cotret and Jefferson Campbell-
Cooper's art careers, as they live, talk, produce individual visual artworks, support each others art research and
projects, make works in conversation or fully in collaboration.
From Sea to Sea to Sea; Terrestrial Nautica is a found object amalgamative sculpture, created for the purpose of
performance. Terrestrial Nautica is based in ideologies of climate change survival and independent spirited
resourcefulness by Julie René de Cotret and Jefferson Campbell-Cooper.
This sculpture is created from a snowmobile and a boat, joined together in such a way to traverse land or water,
no matter the weather conditions. Terrestrial Nautica critically examines the contradictions of life and identity in
Canada. As settler artists, we investigate the country's appetite for resource extraction to the detriment of the
environment and life, on a national and global scale.

Alexander Mood (SE) | www.alexandermood.se
Lives and works in Stockholm, member of ID:I Galleri. Trained in Stockholm and Dublin. Numerous solo and group shows national and international.
Alexanders artistic activity is mainly concerned with politics, history and memory and how history works in
informing the present. I often start from an anthropological discourse and working method and have mainly
worked with video and audio and installation.
The world is undergoing a paradigm shift where industrialism is about to disappear but no new world order has yet been formed. This creates political and economic instability. History is not behind us, we are history (forming the future): history is in the present. I am interested in the part of history we do not want to acknowledge, know or address, that is, the part of ourselves we do not want to understand.

Helena Pehrsson (SE) | idigalleri.org/tag/helena-pehrsson
My motives have a long period of time, mainly, kept indoors in old, empty buildings and rooms.
Let light, color and value be important and set a limit in not overworking the paintings to maintain a direct
impression.

Mathieu Valade (CA) | mathieuvalade.com
Live and works in Canada.
My artistic practice explores contradiction relationships existing between simple shapes and the images they can
evoke once diverted. In order to raise new interpretation possibilities, the production of sculptural objects or
drawings, always with a view to put forward high plasticity, is hybridized to elements of simple representations
(typography, logos, pictographs, geometric shapes.)
Considering the artistic object as artifices, the sculptures and drawings I propose require a “leap” into illusion:
association of graphic and plastic elements, in order to reveal the image, to open a drawer, to get into the
sculpture, etc. The image is never completely given. It is to be assembled. It is made of juxtaposed plastic events,
shapes, breaches, repetitions, and light signals - a scenery whose elements are defined by a combination of signs.
Many of my creations revisit genres, production methods or even works from moments in art history for which I
have particular interest. Thus, a sort of dialogue was installed in my practice between minimalism, conceptual art,
and artistic modernity in general. Without being the key to the interpretation of my work, the quote aspect
provides a second reading order, as if it involved a latent code from art history.
In my sculptural practice, the work often integrates the space to draw its meaning from it or highlight its function: hay bales in a field, a column in a museum, a billboard along the road. The scale of the objects confronts both the
place and the visitor, by its dimensions resembling those of a monument. This results in a practice close to in situ,
in which the context feeds the action, and in which the action feeds the context.

Annelie Wallin (SE) | www.anneliewallin.se
Lives and works in Stockholm, member of ID:I Galleri,1989-94 Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Stockholm
She works with sculpture, video and mixed media. Her works often dwell around identity and the different aspects of creating identity. Nature and vegetation have been recurring themes in her later work; vegetation as both biological system and starting point for discussions on social issues, public space and dialogue with its citizens. In recent works, her interest in microbiology and deep ecology has rose questions about the human identity as a specie superior to all other. By trying out other views and perspectives she undermines our fixed concepts on power and complacency.

My grandmother was a strong and independent woman. In the WW1 she went to Vienna in Austria to work as a

Spanish Civel War with her sick daughter for recreation during 6 months and also they visited Morocco. The
summer 1939 the hole family went to German just a month before the WW2 began.
With a model of my father´s childhood house and unique archival material spanning the two world wars I tell the
story about a family secret and tragedy, about my Grandmother and the two aunts I never met.

Artist’s of VideoScrrening #3

Carousell | www.carousell.org
Carousell is a collaborative project that intends to broaden the discussion of video art through an exchange of
video material. The artists involved are Felice Hapetzeder (SE), Kristina Kvalvik (NO), Henrik
Lund Jørgensen (DK/SE) and Marit Lindberg (SE). Artists working with video tend to have an archive
of unused material. As an exercise in letting go of one’s own footage and authorship, the artists involved
exchanged material and giving each other carte blanche to produce something new. The idea of Carousell is to
challenge the limits and preconceived notions of what contemporary video art can be.

Felice Hapetzeder (SE) | www.hapetzeder.com
*1973, lives and works in Stockholm, numerous international solo and group shows and artist residencies.
His work is centred in the lens-based practices of video and still image. With documentary departure points in life
and history connected to personal experiences, Hapetzeder often develops his work in collaborations with others.
This approach provides unexpected new entries to the artistic vision.

Kristina Kvalvik (NO) | kristinakvalvik.com
Her work deals with matters relating to surveillance, the inexplicable and the threatening. She examines the
limitations of sight and our ability to interpret what we see.

Henrik Lund Jørgensen (DK/SE) | www.henriklundjorgensen.com
He employs photography and video to investigate notions of time, space, and memory, while reflecting on cultural and social forms of representation. Conceived as a collage of images, texts and sounds unfolding layer upon layer, his video work subtly straddles uncertain boundaries between reality and fiction.

Marit Lindberg (SE) | www.maritlindberg.se
She works often involve the intimate conversation in the public sphere, discloses the hidden and elusive in dreams
and memory. The works take shape in videos, video installations and performance art, sometimes shown in the
public space.
