TIDIGARE UTSTÄLLNINGAR

Towards a Boundless World: Backa Stand Up Comedy
A project of the artist Anthony Marcellini, featuring comedians Khalid Geire, Emma Knyckare and Kurt Lightner
Event date: September 18, 2010; 18:00 Location: Blendas Gata 49, 422 51 Hisings Backa (Bus 18, 19; Hållplats: BackaKyrkogatan). This event is free and open to the public
Towards a Boundless World: Backa Stand Up Comedy is an outdoors stand-up comedy night presented in the Swedish “immigrant suburb” of Backa Röd. For Backa Stand Up Comedy comedians will deliver comedy routines in Swedish, English, and other languages, based on the stories of the local community and on the positive and negative impressions of immigration and immigrants in Sweden. The aim is to use jokes and humor to address issues specific to the neighborhood of Backa Röd, subjects that may not be discussed publicly, are seen as taboo or are contentious in the community.

This comedy night will be presented just like in a comedy club, with spot lighting, music/band and amplification, but in place of a stage it will utilize the exterior first-floor balcony of a Backa Röd apartment building. For the audience to sit and watch the performance, chairs and tables will be installed in the public squares, gardens, and pathways that the balcony looks out onto. The aim is to use the subject of this comedy night (Backa Röd) as the backdrop for each performance, and thereby emphasizing the political and local by expressing both critique and humor about the site in which the jokes are presented.

Towards a Boundless World: Backa Stand Up Comedy is supported by Backa Kulturhus, Bostads AB Poseidon, Valand School of Fine Arts and a Projektstöd Pronto grant from Göteborgs Stads kulturförvaltning/Kulturstöd.

Jeu de Paume Paris France: Esther Shalev-Gerz
February 9th – June 6th 2010

“Over three decades Esther Shalev-Gerz has consistently performed a process of unravelling particularities in order to reflect on the ways in which the generalities of history and memory are constructed. Working with a specific place, a certain moment in history, an urgent question, or a shared experience that resonates through history, Shalev-Gerz mines the personal in order to address and interrogate the ways in which the present is understood (Lisa Le Feuvre,
"Nothing is written. We all know that. Don’t we".
Extract from the catalogue of the exhibition.)

Esther Shalev-Gerz, D’eux, 2008-2010, video extract

Esther Shalev-Gerz was born in Vilnius, Lithuania, raised in Israel and resides in Paris since 1984. She is teaching in the Art school in Gothenburg, Sweden since 2003. She is internationally recognised for her seminal investigation into the nature of democracy, citizenship, cultural memory and spatial politics.

FCAC in Shanghai, China: immigration humans plants animals ghosts (late afternoon confusion) Elke Marhöfer solo exhibition

Jan 19, 2010 - Feb 06, 2010

 In her first major solo exhibition in China, the Berlin based artist Elke Marhöfer will introduce primarily new works specifically conceived for the exhibition. In the main room of the FCAC, she will install a number of sculptural formations, or pavilions. Within the pavilions, four filmic projects will be presented. Based on this constellation, the individual films will sensually interweave with the 'white cube', and generate an ambivalent space, which embraces a number of different impulses.

The filmic works in the exhibition meditate on the artistic procedures inherited from documentary and ethnographic film. They re-think how we form the world, history, ourselves and others. But the objective is not to report, for example, on matters concerning different cultures, but to explore one's own visual perception. All the works share the philosophical view that there is no "other" world, but that every identity is in conjunction with other identities, and through this will be expanded and changed. The title of the exhibition "immigration humans plants animals ghosts (late afternoon confusion)" suggests a disbelief in the concept of individual species and artificial genus.
