'lisa jonasson'
I listen to the slightly psychedelic CD “Rymdkleopatra –existentiell progg”. Cleopatra from outer space - in a special Swedish music tradition flowing in a stream beside the commercial music and which roots dates back to the sixties and seventies.
“In space nobody can hear you sing-records” is the CD-label of the artist Lisa Jonasson. The label connects to the famous tag “In space no one can hear you scream” as in the science-fiction horror-movie “Alien” from 1979. Borders between sane and insane, everyday life, brain-salad, mental operations and madhouses are sung about in a frail voice coming from somewhere in the sky.
If you go inside Kulturhuset in Stockholm now in September, into the newly opened space on the same level as “Plattan” you have some more weeks to see the silhouette cuttings by Lisa Jonasson, symbolically placed far away in a corner. There are connections between figures, masks, animals, creatures and body parts in a horror vacui that make your eyes wander around the works. Possibilities and impossibilities. Symbols and patterns. Everything seems to belong to one another and yet far apart at the same time. A storyteller in her very own tradition.
I can also recommend the Geist-magazine with the name “Filiokus” which Lisa Jonasson made with Matti Kallionen and other artists. Look and read and get thrown up their joint volcanic eruptions.
