Two exhibitions

Lunds Konsthall, Lund

Nina Canell: Free-Space Path Loss - Eric M Nilsson: Regarding Words. In the exhibition on the ground floor we see how Canell uses recognisable materials and objects removed from their usual context. It might be some copper piping, a chewing gum or a bit of cable. Apparently unexpected objects in this context, leaving behind a sense of absence that create a space for thought. Canell herself states that she is interested in the forces that influence our lives but often remain intangible to us. Perhaps this explains why immaterial and ephemeral elements such as gas, electricity and sound waves appear so often in her work. Nilsson is best known for the many experimental and groundbreaking documentaries that he has produced since the 1960s, for Swedish Television and other commissioning organisations. His works are shown on the first floor of the gallery, but the presentation was not conceived as a comprehensive retrospective. Instead there are just a handful of films, which help us to find connections between the means of expression that otherwise make the two artists' oeuvres different. In Canell's installations, as in Nilsson's films, a certain kind of focussed observation recurs, allowing free association to find its own path and its real power.
