'walead beshty'

I got a great gift from one of my daughters this Christmas. A voucher with the text:

“I will accompany you on museum and art exhibition visits during one entire day. You can see as much as you like, I will accompany you.”

 

I have already used the voucher, while spending a day in Malmö. At Malmö Konsthall we saw the exhibition by the Los Angeles based Walead Beshty  – a diagram of forces - and the rediscovered photography, photograms and photoplastics of Lászlo Moholy-Nagy, classic works and reminders of the Bauhaus school. We watched experiments in light, reflections and transparency. We observed objects which had travelled over the world to Malmö with FedEx, now broken, frail and with finger-prints by many hands carrying the square volumes in different materials. We saw avant-garde film, and people and things from new angles and perspectives. Read about the interest Lászlo Moholy-Nagy had in how the photographic technique in itself could help him create his work, while Beshty let the movers of his objects create his work. Tried to take photographs, but it is forbidden at Malmö Konsthall. Instead I took pics from inside- and ouside of the toilet, hopefully not forbidden.

 

Thoughts about time, space and volume, while peeping through the cracks in the mirror-boxes.

- Let’s go to the science-fiction-bookstore, she said patiently when taking off the headphones after listening to voices on an LP far away in time.
