Jacob Hashimoto / Agnes Varda

BildMuseet, Umea

Jacob Hashimoto / Superabundant Atmosphere

2 JUNE - 13 OCTOBER, 2013

Jacob Hashimoto’s artwork embodies his fascination with the intersections of painting and sculpture; abstraction and landscape. His pieces consists of several small objects made from bamboo and silk or paper, which are joined together in larger compositions. Bildmuseet presents Superabundant Atmosphere, which is an installation of thousands of ellipses made from bamboo and silk hanging from the ceiling by distinctly black threads. The art piece takes up an entire showroom and creates a cloud-like formation that appears to permeate through the ceiling.

American artist Jacob Hashimoto (b. 1973) is working in Brooklyn, New York. His works have been displayed at the MACRO in Rome, at Studio La Città in Verona and at the Mary Boone Gallery in New York. The Bildmuseet exhibition is the first presentation of his work in Sweden.

Agnès Varda

2 JUNE - 18 AUGUST, 2013

Already with her first film, Agnès Varda (born 1928) established herself as an important figure in French cinema. La Pointe Courte from 1954 is considered as the starting point of the French New Wave. At that time, Varda was in her mid-twenties and had no formal training as a film-maker.

Bildmuseet is showing a selection of documentary projects from the 60s and 70s, as well as newer works that display the boundary-transcending way in which Agnès Varda moves between the cinema theatre and the gallery showroom; between photography and cinema; between the moving and the still. Many of Varda’s films have political and feminist dimensions, such as Black Panthers (1968) and Résponse de femmes (1975), where documentation and fiction overlap.
