Tales from the Forest
Virserums Konsthall May 9th - December 5th 2010
An exhibition about the forest in the outskirts of our consciousness, the forest of our memories and fantasies. We spend less and less time in the forest and sometimes it appears as unreal or even frightening. Is the forest a part of our everyday life – do we use it as our living room? Many children never spend time in the woods, but rather in virtual worlds where they feel safely connected to others. We experience nature on the television where it doesn’t smell, feel or taste anything. Yet, the woods and the trees have a powerful symbolic force and meaning. Can we listen to the tales and incantations of the forest in an increasingly nature-dystopian world where the forest isn’t the lasting? Can the forest function as a metaphor for life? To get lost, to merge, to transform into or disappear into the forest? Where is the border between the wild and the arranged? Memories, dreams, visions and reality mingles. What it the relation between human and nature? An exhibition with suggestive features and with different stories about and from a magic, surreal, poetic or strange forest within and beyond us. What place do you and I have?
I'm really glad about this exhibition, can't wait to unpack, hang works, try out videos in their rooms or place.
A short text in Swedish is on my website under "Utställningar", take a look.
Igloo, Bruno Martelli and Ruth Gibson. Part of their interactive computer installation "Summerbranches"
