The old Art Academy-building creates an atmosphere of art history, a solemn and academic air, only by the place. The art works gets more space though and it is room for some presentations in larger scale. Some artists do their best to trash this conception of a fine room for the eternal arts. In the staircase, signaling power, Bo Christian Larsson has created an installation which undermines the aura of the place.

He has developed his own myths and landscapes in his work, often recalling subcultures. It’s full of mysterious parts. Seems to be waiting for someone special. As if we stumbled upon the essence of something, but at the same time found something disquieting  about it. Where is the intruder? Did Alfred Hitchcock move into the Scandinavian spruce forest?

 

The wandering life of an artist and homesickness? “Hotel”, the architectural frail suitcase by Bo Christian Larsson is a magnet standing there on the floor to Galleri Bo Bjerggaard. Soon, we can see more of his work in a solo-presentation at Kristinehamns konsthall.

 

In the installation ”Las Palmas” Johannes Nyholm has built a beach with fabric. There is a tennis-playing couple and another pair sitting by a table and a parasol having a drink. All dolls created in textiles too. As in my reflection from February on parasols in art, there is also a parasol here. And a palm-tree. Johannes Nyholm started making a documentary about his one-year-old daughter Helmi and ended up letting her play around a build environment of a tourist-destination in the sun. She wakes up with clothes for a grown-up woman on, breaks into a bar where the same dolls as in the installation are guests and waiters.  She drinks and drinks, eat ice-cream, dances on the bar-disk and seems to have fun, until she falls asleep again. When she wakes up the staff wants to get paid, but she leaves on her motorcycle with the wind in her hair.

 

A photograph by Maria Friberg shows the back of a child, sitting on top of a giant mountain of toys, belongings of a child in our Western world.
