Two exhibitions
Index - the Swedish Contemporary Art Foundation, Stockholm
Using simple means, Andreas Korsar investigates how a drawing is constructed - a cavalcade of directional motions frozen within a structure, where cinematographic and acoustic qualities for example, can be read between the lines. Jesper Nordahl's 'Cricket' is a series of investigations concerning cricket, as an indirect expression of political action in a global arena.
Andreas Korsár: Lite lik dig
street-level gallery
Using simple means, Andreas Korsár investigates how a drawing is constructed
- a cavalcade of directional motions frozen within a structure, where
cinematographic and acoustic qualities for example, can be read between the
lines. Even the artist's short animations, often just seconds long, can
primarily be interpreted as drawings, where the movement¹s potential is
fully exploited. The exhibition "Lite lik dig" (A bit like you) is Andreas
Korsár¹s first presentation in Stockholm and contains a mix of new work and
old, colour and black & white, animation and drawing. Andreas Korsár has
previously also worked with music videos and book illustration. The
exhibition opening at Index also sees the launch of Andreas Korsár and Jonas
Sundvall¹s book "Sträcker sig efter telefonen" (Reaching for the Phone),
drawings and monologues (2004). Andreas Korsár was educated at Valand School
of Fine Art, 1996 Â 2000, and lives and works in Gothenburg.

Jesper Nordahl: Cricket
downstairs gallery
Jesper Nordahl's "Cricket" is a series of investigations concerning cricket,
as an indirect expression of political action in a global arena. It is a
process-implemented project and Index presents a first instalment: Jesper
Nordahl's interview with Zimbabwean cricketer Henry Olonga, recorded in
Maidstone, England, in August 2003. Henry Olonga went into exile after
demonstrating against the Zimbabwe regime's human rights violations, during
the Cricket World Cup 2003, hosted in South Africa and Zimbabwe. The
exhibition also contains text, photography and drawing. Jesper Nordahl was
educated at the Royal University College of Fine Arts in Stockholm, 1995 Â
2000, and lives and works in Stockholm.
The film "Cricket" (2003) was made with support from IASPIS. The exhibition
is part of an ongoing collaboration between Index and the Multicultural
Centre in Botkyrka.
