Submit ReviewViskleken på Växjö konsthall
Viskleken är en utställning som visas på Växjö konsthall som är uppbyggd kring inbjudningar som inspirerats av leken, Viskleken. Ni vet leken när man viskar en mening till någon som i sin tur viskar vidare till någon annan. Och allteftersom förvanskas vad som sas från början, samtidigt som det finns ett klart samband mellan de som sas först och sist.
Viskleken är organiserad av konstnärerna Ann-Catrin Olsson och Filippa Nilsson Kallhed som båda ingår i Cana - en konstnärsdriven förening som arbetar med att utforska och ta fram olika metoder för att sätta samman utställningar. Cana startade utställningsprojektet med med att bjuda in Tilda Lovell som i sin tur bjöd in Tobias Bradford osv.
Allt som allt presenteras fem konstnärer i utställningen: Tilda Lovell, Tobias Bradford, Oona Libens, Fia Linnéa Emelie Doepel och Hanna Andersson.

Idag en målning med en given plats inom av svensk konsthistoria. Målningen hade John-E börjar arbeta på i Los Angeles. Hur var det att bo i Los Angeles som svensk målare som precis gått ut från Kungliga Konsthögskolan då? Vad var det som lockade det nygifta paret som precis fått en bebis att ta båten över?

Born in Iceland, Shoplifter came to New York in the 1980’s to attend grad school. 25 years on she still divides her time between the mystical island and the bustling city.

Artist Debra Scacco was working on an art project about the LA River when she visited “LACI” (Los Angeles Clean Technology Incubator), and was struck by the facilities’ impressive list of equipment, including laser cutters, a horizontal band saw and a vacuum oven. Tools that are rarely available for an artist. She saw an opportunity for exchange, between the people working with various starts up on green initiatives at LACI and artists that work with climate related themes. She founded AIR LACI, an artist-in-residency program open for research lead L.A. based artists. We talk about this special program, that perhaps is more of a fellowship than a residency.
Stockholm-born Oscar Gustave Rejander (1813–1875) relocated to the UK in the 1830s. Some twenty years later he abandoned his profession as a painter to pursue a career in photography. Karen Hellman, assistant curator in the Department of Photographs at the Getty Museum talks about the medium of photography in the 1850s – what it was and what Rejlander thought that the medium could do. Rejlander’s position as an outsider allowed him to do what was not expedited, like double exposures, photographic manipulations and retouching. Today he is often referred to as the father art photography, a pioneer experimenting with the medium. We talk about his legacy and how it fits within photo history and about his wife Mary Bull, her role as a model and support running the studio in Kentish Town, London.

Color is the most relevant ingredient in Chelsea Boxwell’s work. She takes fondly about the similarities between house paint and shiny pink fabrics she finds around the warehouses in The L.A. Fashion District. Painting is an act, and she paints without a conception in mind. The concept of the painting comes after. Equally, the installation of her work is site-specific, in correspondence with the specific room at a specific time. Also, glitter makes everything more active and she keeps an optimistic attitude.

We all see things differently, but Heather Day filters color in a particular way. Quite late in life she found out that she has synesthesia. She works intuitively, often pushing paint around and recalls an obsession with color from an early age. Over the years her studio and paintings have grown larger. From pastels on paper, via wider brushes on canvas to murals and spray paint, her whole body is always involved in the act of painting. She speaks on how she decides when a work is finished; the evolution of a painting from the materials touching, to the making of the painting and documentation.
