I WILL DRIVE OUT THE INCOHERENCE
10 June - 18 September 2016
Artists: Nanna Debois Buhl, Sara Lännerström, Jesper Norda, Lisa Torell, Anna Ling, Laura Oldfield Ford
Introduction
"[The city is] man's most successful attempt to reshape the world that he lives after his heart's desire. But if the city is the world that man has created, so it is also the world in which she is henceforth condemned to live. "(Robert Park, On Social Control and Collective Behavior)
Dispel the lack of context is a project of the city, though there are no urban plans, no models, no argument about what should be built or developed. It gives also no proposals on how the good city looks like or should look like, but the project explores through a series of artworks and activities some aspects worth pondering in all urban and community development.
Dispel the lack of respect, a simple starting point. It is about the need for respect for the things should hang together and bring understanding, for there to be a foundation on which to build, whether it concerns the individual's life or major societal structures.
Exhibition, dig, explore
The project consists of three parts:
At Göteborgs Konsthall, the group exhibition banish the lack of connection with the artists Nanna Debois Buhl, Jesper Norda, Sara Lännerström, Anna Ling, Laura Oldfield Ford and Lisa Torell. Together reveals the often unseen aspects that surround us and the people working in the field of tension between the scientific and the artistic.
In collaboration with the Historical Studies at Gothenburg University and the Academy of Fine Arts, part of the garden to be transformed into an archaeological excavation that everyone is welcome to attend. Various creative workshops are held for youth and garden becomes a place of glorious summer hanging with barbecue and umbrellas.
By Wieselgrensplatsen - different layers of a site investigated a specific area of the city on the basis of a variety of stories from children and the elderly. How do they Wieselgrensplatsen and the memories of the place lives in them?
In banish the lack of context, one can say that we are looking into the soil significance for mankind and our understanding of the room. Constantly have to remind themselves that human time is often slower than the urban and social development, although very much influenced by human decisions. Achieving limestone layers in Limhamn is a process that has taken place over millions of years. To demolish an entire neighborhood takes a few months.
What happens when everything is lost, and in a moment exchanged for something new? All layers of history, accumulated time and added collective and subjective memories that will always exist, even if it does not immediately reveal itself to everyone's eyes.
