25/02/14 09.00 a.m. – 17:30 p.m. The Display Hypothesis (Part 1) Roger von Reybekiel Exhibition modules designed by Fredrik Paulsen Förskolan Fredrik Eens Minne How to make an exhibition in one day is a workshop and exhibition led by artist Roger von Reybekiel. Over the course of the workshop the children collaborate with the artist to create and present an exhibition that references different artistic styles in dialogue, such as minimilism and maximalism or surrealism and pop. The workshop rotates around a number of separate stations. The children work at each station with pens, paint, paper, cardboard and found materials for a few minutes before changing stations and continuing on with another child’s work, such as a drawing, painting or sculpture. Music is an important element of the workshop and a curated soundtrack accompanies the day. Each child is encouraged to add their individual contributions while also learning first-hand about the collabortative possiblities of art making. In the afternoon the children, together with von Reybekiel ‘curate’ their work into an exhibition at their school. The final stage of the workshop is the celebratory art opening, complete with buns and lemonade, where the children present their work in their own aptly titled exhibition.
Roger von Reybekiel (b. 1981) is a curator and artist based in Stockholm. Recently his work has been shown in solo exhibitions at Gallery Blunk, Trondheim and Percival Space, Oslo. In 2013 Flame Forlag published his book Seven Pears in the Line. As a curator he has presented the exhibition series Evening Standard Series at Platform Stockholm and curated the exhibition Självporträtt at Fullersta Gård in Huddinge. He is currently working with a KU Project at Konstfack concentrating on artistic writing. The Display Hypothesis
How to Make an Exhibition in One Day is the first part of the off-site project The Display Hypothesis, a project that takes the form of a series of flexible exhibitions at kindergartens, educational associations, public spaces, offices, gyms and schools in Stockholm. The Display Hypothesis analyzes the changed conditions for the presentation and reception of contemporary art with the intent to create an inclusive dialogue between institutions, artists and new audiences. In this spirit and in order to review the current presentation and display systems, Index has commissioned designer Fredrik Paulsen to create modules for the transportable exhibits. These architectural interventions are integral to the formation of the temporary exhibitions and artist-led workshops.
Fredrik Paulsen (b. 1980, SE), lives and works in Stockholm) is a designer and a co-founder of Örnsbergsauktionen in Stockholm. Paulsen’s work is based on an interest in urban manufacturing and often evolves from situation-specific contexts. His straightforward attitude toward furniture design is evident in his pragmatic constructions and in his playful approach to typically mundane articles of hardware. Paulsen celebrates material and often shows his love for off-the-shelf components; standard fittings and various flooring materials are used both for their functional and decorative qualities. Paulsen graduated from Beckman’s College of Design, Sweden, in 2007 and has a MFA from the Royal College of Art, London, 2010. Recent exhibitions include Spektrum (solo show), Gallery Etage Projects, Copenhagen, DK (2014). The Future is handmade, Kalmar Konstmuseum, Kalmar, SWE (2014).Flirting, playing, eating, drinking, talking, laughing, Kunstraum, London, UK (2014). Craft & Drawing, Depot Basel, Basel (2013). SMART/ Process Design Objects, Nordic culture point, Helsinki, FIN, (2012).
In conjunction with the exhibition "In memery," the first major solo exhibition of the artist Sture Johannesson (SE), Index presents Baby Day Tripping, a Liquid Light Show with projections and music especially designed for children aged 0-2 years. Liquid Light shows moving light projections created by liquid chemical fluids that react with each other live in front of a live audience were commonly used in the 60's and 70's as part of art and music performances and the psychedelic rock concerts. Pink Floyd, Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, Velvet Underground often worked with light show artists and artist collectives such as Mike Leonard, Brotherhood of Light, Light Sound Dimension and Marc Boyle, which sought to simulate or stimulate the effect of LSD by means of technology and spellbinding environments. As part of the workshop for children Index will show Liquid Loops (1969), by the legendary light show artist Joshua White (U.S.). The material is a digitized copy of the original recording and a unique document of the classic phenomenon. Liquid Loops has been shown at the Whitney Museum in New York, the Hirshhorn Museum, Washington, DC, the Tate Modern in London and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Liquid Loops works both as a video portrait of Joshua Light Shows ephemeral art form and as an inspiration to musicians, VJs and set designers both then and now. Booking required! 12/11/2012, 6 - 9 p.m. Workshop by The Great Learning Orchestra (musicians collective from all walks of musical life, Stockholm)Fylkingen Söder Mälarstrand 27 118 25 Stockholm GLO will lead a workshop in which participants will be able to explore Cornelius Cardew’s project The Scratch Orchestra (1969-72) that sought to invite both musicians and non-musicians to create new parameters in a musical context. There will be a brief introduction to Cardew’s projects, accompanied by a few exercises and pieces written for this purpose, i.e. parts of his important work The Great Learning (1971). Participants are encouraged to bring their own instruments; however, it will be possible to use voices and other ways to generate sound. After a break, the workshop will focus on the graphic score Treatise (1963-67) and the idea of graphic composition. Participants will try to play a part of the piece, and talk about different interpretations which could lead to homework assignments in view of taking part in The Great Learning Orchestra’s concert on 15th November at Fylkingen as part of Index’s weekly series The audience is the mother of self-invention. Participants don’t need to be able to play any instruments. It is possible to use other forms of action such as dancing, acting or any other artistic expression. Booking required! Publish and be Damned: Nordic Models workshops engage audience groups in the socially-minded and grass-roots nature of independent publishing tradition, two workshops will be concurrent to the conference and the fair. 12/10/12, 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. 05/10/2012, 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. Anna Koch (artist, choreographer and director of WELD, Stockholm) 08/10/2012, 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. Anna Kinbom (artist, Stockholm) These two workshops map out diverse approaches that score action and thought from a wide spectrum of perspectives (musical, instruction-based, physical, durational, etc.). By selecting artworks from a collection of historical as well as recent performance art, participants will learn what extensive possibilities these approaches can offer, from direct experience to spectatorial agency, from writing up their own scores to instruct others to enact them.
