Art of Memory<\/em> is a series of exhibitions at Bonniers Konsthall and at surrounding museums which along with lectures and publications seek to encompass today’s notions of memory and history, and also to offer alternative narratives about the past. The art gallery will display three separate exhibitions, which both amplify and refract one another. Gerard Byrne, Cecilia Edefalk, and historical artist Alina Szapocznikow relate very differently to how individual and collective memories shape our lives. The passage of time becomes one point of connection between them. Gerard Byrne recreates overlooked moments of contemporary history. Cecilia Edefalk allows the ghosts of history to appear by showing a series of paintings surrounded by their own history: the studies and documentation from previous places where they have appeared. Alina Szapocznikow\u2019s sculptures and drawings tell the story of the body\u2019s often painful memories. Simultaneously, her exhibition evokes the memory of an artistic practice by displaying material from her private archives, films of her working in the studio, photos of pieces that no longer exist, and documentation from the exhibitions, such as the one at Lunds Konsthall in 1977.<\/p>\n

Along with the gallery’s three exhibitions, a ring of work is being shown at surrounding museums in Vasastan, at places which hold the past and who participate in creating our view of history. Hans Rosenstr\u00f6m’s sound piece takes the listener from Vasaparken to Judiska Museet to The Public Library. He makes associations with the role of place during ancient times in the art of memory, while also starting a discussion about technologies for memory in our digital age. At the Observatory Museum Ann B\u00f6ttcher is showing the creation of a pictorial world by sight in her detailed pencil drawings, while Raqs Media Collective, at the same museum, is thinking about shifts in time and place, such as displaced meridians and lost star constellations. Tarek Atoui is creating a sound piece based on EMS\u2019s (the Electronic Music Studio\u2019s) archives at the Music and Theatre Library, and Cecilia Edefalk’s four year long conversation with August Strindberg is playing as text at the Strindberg Museum.<\/p>\n

A part of the autumn lecture series with artists, writers and researchers, is a collaboration with the research program Time, Memory, Representation<\/em> www.histcon.se (Riksbankens Jubileumsfond) at S\u00f6dert\u00f6rn University. The exchange between art, literature and research has, since the start of Bonniers Konsthall, been a way to deepen the program. The anthology that will be published in conjunction with Art of Memory<\/em> is a collaboration with Albert Bonnier\u00b4s Publishing House with contributions from artists, writers and researchers.<\/p>\n

With the support of Culture Ireland, Electronic Music Studio (EMS), Finnish Institute, Institut fran\u00e7ais de Su\u00e8de, Polish Institute and Stockholm stad.<\/p>\n

The exhibition A State of Neutral Pleasure<\/em> by Gerard Byrne is organised by Whitechapel Gallery, London in collaboration with Bonniers Konsthall.<\/p>\n
