Interventions and video works: Jenny Gr\u00f6nvall in collaboration with Kerstin Gr\u00f6nvall, Helena Olsson, Lina Selander Malin Pettersson \u00d6berg.\u00a0<\/em> Exhibition and accompanying events, June 8 \u2013 July 15 2018 <\/p>\n What takes a hundred years to make?<\/em> is a reflection on the history and archival material of Sk\u00e5nes konstf\u00f6rening, from within and in the context of its re-invention, looking at the institution itself, its history, its possible futures. As we ponder on the long time span of the existence of Sk\u00e5nes Art Association (founded in 1904), the over one hundred years <\/em>of art making, we intersect it with history itself, unfolding, even if sometimes from a distance, and accompanying the transformations of the city of Malm\u00f6.<\/p>\n The exhibition comprises paintings \u201cinherited\u201d by the association, which have rested for a long while on shelves, in dark underground storage spaces, selected documents from the archive, random found material suggestive of various historical moments, alongside artistic interventions and video works inviting us to think about urban planning, utopian dreams, personal experiences intersecting the institutional. It also includes interviews with former key figures from Sk\u00e5nes konstf\u00f6rening\u2019s recent history, debates regarding the changing visions and missions of art organizations over the years, and archival films to reflect upon the history of cities and to act as reminders of the political transformations happening today \u2013 when the \u201ccity of workers\u201d is becoming more and more a \u201ccity of borders\u201d, the right to strike is put under question and art structures often dispassionately use the language of contemporary distress in order to drop in and out with minimalist gaze from the lives and contexts they otherwise ignore.<\/p>\n What takes a hundred years to make?<\/em> began from a recurrent statement at Sk\u00e5nes konstf\u00f6rening: \u201cWe have more than one hundred years of history behind us\u201d. And from noticing that we did not know the contents of that history \u2013 since the team and the board working now are relatively new to this inherited history which lends itself both to factuality and to imagination. The result, this first exhibition and series of events, is as fragmented as memory can be, putting together emotions and suppositions, pieces of history or names that caught our eyes from an endless sea of names (those of members, board directors, artists, events, places, advertisements), information fictionalized by the different levels of understanding Swedish (from almost zero to native) and by the different gazes of the persons who have visited the archives so far.<\/p>\n Time unfolding onto space and protruding from every weathered thin archival document, grave recurrent questions reminiscent of war and the safety of nations, personal dreams and ambitions crushed or fulfilled by the Autumn Salons and endless lotteries; we fuse together all these grand and classical ideas with the destiny and timelines of local art institutions and add onto them important questions which need to form and inform the future: how can one fight against the ephemeral existence and preserve the fleeting memory of self-organized art structures, how can art institutions actively undo their own colonial stance and become true reflections of the big local words \u2013 of \u201cdiversity\u201d, of \u201cinclusion\u201d \u2013 also becoming spaces of care, to the point where the existent structures within them need to be severely transformed in order to make space for the others claiming space.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This exhibition and all its statements, side events and walkthroughs are the result of many conversations. The initiative and curatorial work behind the exhibition was made by Simona Dumitriu.
