Aleksander Johan Andreassen – Generating Fortitude – Galleri Konstfack

I am aware that going on one´s inner journey can be a frightening, exhilarating, exhausting adventure. I will be present for you but not intrusive. I have faith that you know how to take care of yourself. I won't be responsible for you or take away your power. Nor will I abandon you. (...) I make mistakes, do things I´m not pleased with, and I am misguided at times. In such instances, I will say so. I am able to say, "I´m sorry."

Weronika Bela – Shifting Recollections – Vita havet
Human visual perception is a far more complex and selective process than that by which a film records. Nevertheless the camera lens and the eye both register images – because of their sensitivity to light – at great speed and in the face of an immediate event. What the camera does, however, and what the eye in itself can never do, is to fix the appearance of that event. It removes its appearance from the flow of appearances and it preserves it, not perhaps forever but for as long as the film exists.

Fredrik Bjernelind – I Can no Longer Hear the Crickets – Rum S9, Seminariegatan
An acoustic space consisting of different frequencies of vibration in air. Some of these will be perceivable as sound by everyone hearing, others only by some, and yet others by no human being at all. The "ultrasonic" is not a fixed threshold, but varies with age and other individual factors. "Presbyacusis" is the medical term for age related hearing loss of the upper end of the sonic spectrum, and the cause behind the phenomenon of crickets turning silent for some people. Zarah Leander sings about this no longer audible singing in her "Sång om syrsor" (Song About the Crickets). But what is silence for one person could be noise for another. This work is an attempt to listen to what one cannot hear.

Isak Sundström – EVERYTHING IS ALREADY BETTER, Song circle, Vita havet
This is a project about trying to establish a image of an alternative movement and of a united WE. The project contains of different parts; music and notes, texts, a manifest, field recordings, flags and props. The different parts together form a picture of a movement whose foundation shortly can be described as a unification of loss and confusion, a sort of paradoxical anti-struggle, a search for a point zero, a nothing.

All exhibitions are open 25–28 November 10 am–4 pm at Konstfack, LM Ericssons väg 14, Telefonplan. Welcome!
