In the exhibition RiseAndShine we present a group of artists with the joint that all have some sort of relation to us who runs Formverk (art zone) or to each other.
We focus on the good cooperation between artists, as several of the exhibitors are working together on various projects.
The well-known artist couple Peter Johansson/Barbro Westling show ”Place for thoughts”, not shown before in eastern Sweden. Elin Wikström will make Parkour 45+, an art action based on the youth movment in which people move around in the city in unusual ways.
Seppo Renvall is a well-renowned video artist based in Helsinki, including nominated for the Carnegie Art Award 2010. Virgil Dejarv is active in the Gothenburg art-scene, and for RiseAndShine he makes ”The Golden Room”, a massive textile installation. Arni Gudmundsson and Cristian Rieloff have worked together for many years, and do works that often deals with masculinity and identity, and for the exhibition they produce a new photo named Lucky Guys. Signe Johannessen and Erik Rören are mainly sculptors, which together operate ART LAB Gnesta. Erik Rören makes a kind of sculptor-performance during the opening, and Signe Johannessen shows ”the finding Vita digitalis”, a presentation of a bigger up-coming exhibition at Botkyrka art hall. Stina Pehrsdotter works at the moment with a video and photo project which shall be shown at Jakarta Biennale #14 in December 2011, and she presents an image from that project – Multiple Nature. Niclas Hallberg has during the summer worked in Serbia with the project Visibility and will show one of his new works in large format.
NOVA is a new video network, which is aimed at professional video artists in the Nordic countries. As a starter it’s the organisations FixC, Finland, 700IS, Iceland and Formverk(art zone), Sweden, who choose video artists from from their countries to put up video works on the database. For RiseAndShine we present a selection of video works in a 45 minutes long programme.
RiseAndShine is the last exhibition Formverk (art zone) arranges at Gredbyvägen 18 in Eskilstuna. We discontinue our exhibition space and instead put focus on artistic commissions abroad. The organisation Formverk (art zone) will still exist and from spring 2012 we will conduct operations based in Banatska Dubica in Serbia.
