Valand Academy - Fast Forward
10 - 25 May 2014
Curator: Jason E. Bowman, MFA: Fine Art Programme Leader and Head of Subject: Fine Art, Valand Academy.
Artists: Adel Szakacs, Christian Dumky, Cora Hillebrand, Daniel Wendler, Dorna Aslanzadeh, Hannah Rosvoll, Karin Sandberg, Kirstine Lund, Kjell Caminha, Linn Lindstrцm, Marcus Stenberg, Martha Persson, Martin Holm, Mikael Demitr Lindegren, Pеl Henrik Ekern, Rickard Ljungdahl Eklund & Alina Chaiderov*, Sara Arnald, Thom Bridge and Thomas Eliasson
Göteborgs Konsthall and the University of Gothenburg’s Valand Academy are delighted to announce their ongoing annual collaboration in profiling the work of Valand’s MFA: Fine Art and MFA: Fotografi programme. For the first time this group exhibition brings together art works by students from both programmes in the same exhibition, Fast Forward.
A total of nineteen students – thirteen from Fine Art and six from Fotografi – will co-exhibit works that reveal the persistence of image-making and the predominance of the quasi-archeological in objecthood.
From the duration of a lullaby for unborn babies, to the momentary melting of saliva frozen between kissers, to multiple references of art history’s precedents, to a near geology of layers of graffiti built over time, to installations that change during the exhibition, Fast Forward refers to the deep layering of how time is predicated within the exhibition. Including performance, painting, video, collage, sound, installation and sculptural objects – Fast Forward reveals what this future generation of artists suggest comes next for contemporary art.
* Rickard Ljungdahl Eklund's work is a collaboration with Alina Chaiderov, who is currently studying the BFA programme at Akademin Valand.
