'gallerinatten malmö; lisa jeannin and rolf schuurm'
Malmö! Would have been great to be able to multiply yourself this Saturday evening.
During six hours, from dusk until Midnight and not dawn - you could meet art in every corner of the city. Amazing to see all the people moving around in the city with the same aim and interest in investigating art. One could see small beehives in the dark city, where crowds gathered on pavements in the light from the galleries.
The release of the catalogue of Lisa Jeannin and Rolf Schuurmans took place at both Malmö Konstmuseum and Gallery Ping-Pong. Their new photographic exhibition opened at Ping-Pong this evening. The catalogue consists of one printed catalogue and an interactive CD-ROM made by Rolf Hansson who made a fantastic work blowing life into this format. We are several writers with different perspectives in the catalogue. On the CD you walk around the virtual museum and sense their exhibition in another way than if you move there IRL.
Jeannin and Schuurmans are very generous in their idea to screen all films. I often wish I could spend some more time with a film again, after watching it in an exhibition – but these occasions are very rare. Some photographs in a catalogue which never can give justice to any memory or work are mostly the case. I hope they set a good model for more artists and art institutions.
Everyone does the opposite from what the three wise monkeys do in the myth and in the Japanese art: talk art, see art, listen to art. I know I misinterpret the real Buddhist meaning of the motto “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" now, but there was very little evil this evening. Yes, in some works by Jukka Vikberg one could experience the terror of war. In a mixture of moving parts, sound, sculptures, raw wood, technique and installation there is for instance a symbolic work blending game and play with a pieta-figure and plastic soldiers. Nobody close their eyes. If we close them, the screaming of the seven brothers in the novel by Alexis Kivi will haunt us in the major Vikberg installation at Gallery 21. I curated an exhibition in Finland some years ago with a title borrowed from this book and remember the special juicy language in it. Take a look at “Kaukauna Kavala Maailma” (Under “Utställningar”) on my website if you want to know more.
