'game of tag'
Take your time to visit the new works of Artur Zmijewski at Kalmar Konstmuseum,
opening on Saturday with an artist talk. When I first met his work at Zamek Ujazdowski, Centre for Contemporary Art in Warsaw, in the beginning of 2000, I was fascinated and engaged, could not stop thinking about them. You will not either.
A few years ago he was part of a video-screening at Uppsala Konstmuseum where I had chosen
nine artists from Poland. But I will never forget his three large video-installations in the exhibition SAFE which I curated in 2005 for Karlskrona. It was his first large presentation in Sweden
and opened a week before his installation for the Venice Biennale.
After describing the special place for his installation we decided to show “KR WP”, “The Game of Tag” and “Do it yourself” which was a cooperation with Pawel Althamer. The exhibition place was
the fortification of Godnatt (Goodnight) in the archipelago. No island to be standing on, just a ferry taking you out to this fortified secret building in the middle of the sea, letting you in and leaving you there. A dream for an artist and an exhibition producer. A place to get lost in, a labyrinth of paths, darkness, winding staircases and echoes.
The video-installations were as tailor-made for this place. It was both a physical experience and a melt-down for your mind.
Don’t miss the chance to see his new works.
