The Embassy of Sweden and International Arts & Artists explore Gender, Race, Sexuality, and Representation of the Female Form with Leading Swedish Contemporary Artists. On December 5, the Embassy of Sweden and International Arts & Artists will host mixed media artist Anna U. Davis and muralist, street artist, and musician Carolina Falkholt (“Blue”) for an artist talk moderated by Phil Hutinet, publisher of East City Art. With one foot in both the Swedish and American art worlds, Davis and Falkholt will discuss their recent and upcoming works in relation to their subject matter interests – often gender, race, sexuality, and http://www.eastcityart.com/artist-talks/anna-u-davis-carolina-falkholt-conversation-house-sweden/ 1/3 12/5/2017 Anna U Davis and Carolina Falkholt in Conversation at House of Sweden - East City Art representation of the female form – as well as the interface between Swedish and American contemporary art. Davis is a native of Lund, Sweden who has lived and worked in the United States since 1998. Her exhibition “Witnesses” is currently on display at House of Sweden, and previous collections have been exhibited in solo and group shows at venues including The Corcoran Gallery of Art, The Longview Gallery, and IA&A at Hillyer in Washington, D.C. Anna’s exploration of identity is rendered in mixed media paintings and sculptures that juxtapose cartoonish “Frocasian” characters (an amalgam of Afro and Caucasian) with intricate collage work. Davis has been recognized with a grant from the Pollack- Krasner Foundation and has received multiple Artist Fellowships from the DC Commission on the Arts. Falkholt is a native of Gothenburg, Sweden currently in residence at the International Studio and Curatorial Program in New York City. Since the late 1990s, Falkholt’s practice of street art and graffiti has expanded on the art form by inviting collaborations with other artistic disciplines, including music, sculpture, and performance art. A process-based multidisciplinary artist, Carolina tends to work on large-scale, site-specific projects addressing personal biography, contemporary social issues, and local history. Her work has been included in multiple museum exhibitions, most recently in Wanås Konst, Gothenburg Museum of Art, and Eskilstuna Art Museum. She is represented by Galleri Thomassen in Sweden. International Arts & Artists (IA&A) is a nonprofit arts service organization dedicated to promoting cross- cultural understanding and exposure to the arts internationally. IA&A fulfills its mission by providing programs and services to artists, arts institutions, cultural organizations, and the public. House of Sweden is located at 2900 K St. NW.

    Pressinformation 7 augusti, 2017 Maria Hassabi and Fall Program at Wanås Konst – The Wanås Foundation The exhibition SculptureMotion brings together six Swedish, Nordic, and international artists in an exhibition that includes moving image and performance. The artists begin with movement – adding, being, reproducing movement, the memory of movement, and emphasizing the dual meaning of the word “movement”: active physical movement, but also movement as mobilization. One of the world’s foremost choreographers, William Forsythe, presents his Choreographic Objects in Sweden for the first time. The exhibition program has included a Walk & Talk with William Forsythe, a performance weekend with the artist collective Mammalian Diving Reflex as well as a performance by Sonia Khurana. August 19 and 20 choreographer Maria Hassabi’s outdoor performance STAGED? (2016) – undressed will take place in the sculpture park at the Wanås Foundation. Maria Hassabi, STAGED (?) 2016., 2016 Photo: Thomas Poravas. “Coming into contact with art at Wanås Konst is not superficial. It is live, physical and could be characterized as unavoidable: you feel the dirt under your feet, understand the weight of your body relative to a river of concrete, sense its width in a maze of trees, or its height distorted through bent glass. You seek out the specific work you would like to see and your sense of time is altered. The journey becomes just as important as the object you are looking for. Art is all around. Nature is all around. You activate it, it activates you.” – Rachel Tess, Associate Curator Dance, Wanås Konst About Maria Hassabi Maria Hassabi’s intent to stillness and sustained motion is pursued in her ongoing work as she examines the tension between the human form and the artistic object.

  • Ikea Art Event 2015 Limited Collection April 2015 Ikea Press Kit / April 2015 / 2
    PH124392 IKEA ART EVENT 2015 LIMITED COLLECTION APRIL 2015 IKEA PRESS KIT / APRIL 2015 / 2 PH124364 Bring the street art home We have long provided people all over the world with democratic design – affordable and functional design for all. Now, we’re launching an art initiative with no practical function, instead it’s all about evoking emotions. Creative Leader Henrik Most explains the idea behind IKEA Art Events: - Normally you could say that art has a limitation. That it’s for the few, with a lot of money, or something you see in museums and galleries. But we think that art belongs in people’s homes. And with these collections, art becomes accessible for a lot of people - you don’t need to be wealthy to buy something unique. For this years’ collection, we invited 12 street artists from around the world to create 12 unique street art posters for IKEA. The global launch is 1 April 2015, and since it’s a limited collection the posters might sell out very quickly. Our aim is that the different styles and expressions will create a better everyday life - for everyone who loves great art. IKEA ART EVENT 2015 IKEA PRESS KIT / APRIL 2015 / 3 “Street art is free for anyone to enjoy, you can just grab a bike and discover art in your own hometown. It’s the most democratic art form that exists.” HENRIK MOST Creative Leader, IKEA of Sweden IKEA ART EVENT 2015 IKEA PRESS KIT / APRIL 2015 / 4 From the streets of the world... Street art lives in the urban environment.

  • Kön Och Makt I Det Offentliga Rummet En Undersökning Av Carolina Falkholts Feministiska Praktik
    Kön och makt i det offentliga rummet En undersökning av Carolina Falkholts feministiska praktik Alveola Ämting Ämne: Konstvetenskap Nivå: C Poäng: 15 hp Ventilerad: VT 2014 Handledare: Karin Wahlberg Liljeström 1 ABSTRACT Institution/Ämne Uppsala universitet. Konstvetenskapliga institutionen, Konstvetenskap Författare Alveola Ämting Titel och undertitel: Kön och makt i det offentliga rummet. En undersökning av Carolina Falkholts feministiska praktik Engelsk titel: Gender and power in the public sphere. An examination of Carolina Falkholt’s feminist practice Handledare Karin Wahlberg Liljeström Ventileringstermin: Höstterm. (år) Vårterm. (år) Sommartermin (år) 2014 Content: The artist Carolina Falkholt has during the recent years emerged as one of Sweden's most renowned artists, although she has a long background in graffiti and mural painting. During 2013 and in the beginning of 2014, there has been several media storms around her paintings. In the center of the conflict is both the subject, the female genitalia, and the placement, in the public sphere. This thesis aims to investigate why Carolina Falkholt paints these types of murals, and why people get offended by them. I also study how the media portrays the debate. My study is a discourse analysis of the media discussions around five of Falkholt’s mural paintings. Around the works are two discourses that are in conflict with each other. They are the discourse of Falkholt’s defenders and the discourse of her critics. None of them seem to dominate the other, except locally in some places. Carolina Falkholt’s own way of speaking about her art also forms a separate discourse, as she emphasizes her feminist agenda more than what the defenders do.

  • Download His Report from the Project (PDF)
    Lars Vipsjö Rapport DIGITAL SITE-SPECIFIC NARRATION ALCHEMY OR TOOL? Lars Vipsjö Lars Vipsjö Abstract This report is based on the site-specific art that developed during the latter part of the 20th century, by practitioners who wanted a more engaging dialogue between works and viewers. The strategies led many artists to move from galleries and art galleries to landscape and urban environments. A concept for the works that the movement from the galleries led to is Land Art. The Creative Europe-funded project Off Season Art Gardening (OSAG) is based on this movement. The project carries out activities in the form of workshops and lectures and creates artistic installations in the public space, adjacent to three rural towns, in the Netherlands, Sweden and Lithuania. My contribution to the project has partly been to place OSAG in an art and visual science context, and partly to relate the work carried out within the project Kulturarv och Spelteknologi i Skaraborg (KASTiS) - Cultural Heritage and Game Technology in Skaraborg, to the same context. Within KASTiS is the demonstrator Kiras and Luppe's Bestiarium – KLUB. KLUB is a transmedial children's book project that is used to build a contextualising narrative platform for otherwise disparate cultural heritage sites and objects within a large sub-region via fictional characters. The intangible cultural heritage from the area is also part of the project. The report concludes with a recommendation to actors in digital site-specific storytelling, which is partly based on the artist Robert Smithson's thoughts on a dialectic between his works of art displayed inside galleries (Nonsites) and the works created in the landscape (Sites).

Graffiti Mariestad som ägde rum sommaren 2010, hade väckt mycket positiv energi, men också många frågor som behövdes processas och arbetas vidare med. Resultatet av detta blev projektet Stadslaboratoriet. Det finns oerhört mycket dokumenterat kring Stadslaboratoriet. Den här rapporten är dock bara en sammanfattning, skriven av flera personer som varit aktiva i projektet. Tanken var att den fjärde och avslutande projektdelen skulle omfatta en djupanalyserande sammanställning. Detta skedde aldrig pga en minskad projektbudget. Konsekvensen blev då att två moment minskades ner. Det ena var sammanställningen/dokumentationen av hela

    Practice as Presence – Presence as Practice: Building a Framework for Collective Understanding of Contemporary Graffiti-Making Practices M.Sławińska Masters by Research 2017 Practice as Presence – Presence as Practice: Building a Framework for Collective Understanding of Contemporary Graffiti-Making Practices Marta Sławińska Thesis submitted for the candidacy of a Masters by Research Institute of Technology Sligo Academic Supervisors: Ann Geaney, Louis McManus, David Roberts Submitted to the Institute of Technology Sligo June 2016 I certify that the material which I submit for assessment leading to the award of Masters by Research is entirely my own work and has not been taken from others, save the extent that such work has been cited and acknowledged within the text of the study. Acknowledgments Completion of this project was possible thanks to support and trust of my academic supervisors, Ann Geaney, Louis McManus and David Roberts. Their expertise, advice and direction helped me to keep focused and motivated. Their constructive critique pushed me to achieve better results and their patience allowed me to experiment with my approach and gave me the time necessary to complete this project. I cannot thank them enough for their generosity! The work of other researchers, whose studies are referenced throughout this thesis, laid the foundations for my enquiry and helped in making sense of this complex and often confusing global phenomenon. I must also express my gratitude to all the graffitists who agreed to answer my questions, either in person or through email interviews. The ability to access information from remote locations was also crucial in this project, and therefore I would like to acknowledge the contributions of the many individuals who document graffiti and share their images, videos and interviews online, without their efforts the scope of this study would have been greatly limited.
