Art about migration and refugees confronts us with the problem of how to represent the politically unrepresented and how to exhibit an ongoing and man-made catastrophe. The so-called refugee crisis appear to have created a crisis of images and facts. What should be in focus: the refugees, the victims, the camps, the smugglers or the systems and countries that maintain and aggravate the crisis?<\/p>\n<p>The Museum of Forgetting has since 2014 pursued a curatorial investigation on art and migration in the project <em>Is This the Time for Art<\/em>? This exhibition\u00a0is the next step in this investigation, an exhibition for Sk\u00e5ne Konstf\u00f6rening in Malm\u00f6.<\/p>\n<p>We know that bombs fall upon innocent people, we know that the US and EU have a great responsibility for the collapse of the Middle East, we know that people drown in large numbers upon fleeing the catastrophe because of EU\u2019s border politics and the closed down asylum system. But facts don\u2019t speak for themselves. Facts don\u2019t act by themselves. Somebody must speak for them, give them form, narrate how Europe have become a name and a symbol for border surveillance, walls, fear, camps, and drowned people. And something must be done.<\/p>\n<p>This project has been showing art and setting up talks at different venues, moving between the gallery and the political activist meeting, in Norrk\u00f6ping, at Supermarket in Stockholm, at the <em>Peoples\u2019 Global Action<\/em> meeting in Stockholm, at Art Athina in Athens, and at the Ormston House Gallery, Limerick, Ireland<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Artists:<\/h4>\n<p>Klitsa Antoniou (Cyprus)<br \/>\nKimbal Quist Bumstead (UK)<br \/>\nNur\u00eda G\u00fcell (Spain)<br \/>\nDaniela Ortiz (Peru)<br \/>\nXose Quiroga (Spain)<br \/>\nKristina M\u00fcntzig (Sweden)<br \/>\nDror Feiler (Sweden\/Israel)<br \/>\nGunilla Sk\u00f6ld Feiler (Sweden)<br \/>\nRuno Lagomarsino (Sweden)<br \/>\nOscar Lara (Sweden\/Peru)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition is curated by Erik Berggren<br \/>\nThe Museum of Forgetting is led by Erik Berggren and Kosta Economou<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.museetforglomska.se\/\">www.museetforglomska.se<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>MFG has received financial support from the Swedish Arts Council and the regional authority, Region \u00d6sterg\u00f6tland, Sweden.<br \/>\nWe would like to thank Hans Carlsson and Sk\u00e5ne Konstf\u00f6rening for a good collaboration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Facts don\u00b4t speak for themselves &#8211; Migration and European borders Sk\u00e5nes konstf\u00f6rening in collaboration with Museet f\u00f6r Gl\u00f6mska Opening August 26, 6-9pm Opening hours: Wed-Fri 1-5pm and Sat-Sun 1-4pm The exhibition is on view until September 25 &nbsp; This project focuses on the current migratory landscape and the consequences of the border- and surveillance politics [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1781,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1727","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-utstallning"],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"3.0.2","language":"en","enabled_languages":["sv","en"],"languages":{"sv":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false},"en":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false}}},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skaneskonst.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1727","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skaneskonst.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skaneskonst.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skaneskonst.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skaneskonst.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1727"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/skaneskonst.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1727\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7788,"href":"https:\/\/skaneskonst.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1727\/revisions\/7788"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skaneskonst.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1781"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skaneskonst.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1727"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skaneskonst.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1727"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skaneskonst.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1727"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
