\u201cDouble, double toil and trouble; \u201cThat which is a pain in the arse to wash off dishes makes for a good paint binder.\u201d\u00a0 \u2013 Sigrid Holmwood<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n This talk and presentation with Malm\u00f6-based artist Sigrid Holmwood is hosted by Sk\u00e5nes konstf\u00f6rening and organised by KONSITORI, a platform for public encounters with artists who use food and edible material as medium, material or motif.<\/span><\/p>\n Sigrid Holmwood\u2019s work is based on extensive research work on natural colour production and how different colonial structures influenced these processes. Holmwood draws attention to how oppression of both indigenous peoples and the peasantry led to a loss of knowledge, not least about plants and their properties. Some works use dyes and pigments from plants that follow colonial and cannibalistic trajectories. For this event, Holmwood will address working with colours from local, imported and migrated plant life, as well as interfaces between art, medicine, and the figure of the witch.<\/span><\/p>\n The event will be held in English.

\n<\/span>Sigrid Holmwood (b.1978) has a practice-based PhD in Art (\u201cThe Peasant Paints: expanding painting through planting and pigment-making\u201d) from the Goldsmiths Colleges, London, and an MA in painting from the Royal College of Art, London. Her paintings are often historical re-enactments of the work of a painter of peasant life. In line with her interest in historical accuracy and reenacting old techniques as part of a contemporary practice, she makes her own paints according to historic recipes. Her works have been widely shown in the UK, in Sweden, Italy, Spain, Australia and China.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span>The project is inspired by the historical Eat Art genre and refers to the words “konst” and “konditori”. It generates temporary spaces for encounters with art that uses edibles and for sharing experiences and memories related to taste, smell and textures. The program in 2024 is funded by the Swedish Arts Council.<\/span>
