Tommi Gronlund and Petteri Nisune
Andrehn-Schiptjenko, Stockholm
The sound and light installations of Gronlund & Nisunen act and react to the space that surrounds them. Structures of varying complexity seek to make perceptible to the senses immaterial phenomena such as electricity and radiation and how they materialise into light, heat, sound and motion and how relationships are created with space and matter.
Andréhn-Schiptjenko has the pleasure of announcing Tommi Grönlund & Petteri
Nisunen's second exhibition at the gallery. The opening will take place
Saturday January 18 at 13-17 h. Grönlund (born 1967) & Nisunen (born 1962),
are both architects by education and profession and have worked as a team in
various visual projects since 1992. Since their previous exhibition at the
gallery, Elements in 1998, the duo has exhibited widely at, among others,
P.S.1 New York, MOMA Oxford, Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt and Museo Rufino
Tamayo Mexico City. For the 49th Venice Biennale they were selected to be
both participating artists and curators for the Nordic Pavilion.
The sound and light installations of Grönlund & Nisunen act and react to the
space that surrounds them. Structures of varying complexity seek to make
perceptible to the senses immaterial phenomena such as electricity and
radiation and how they materialise into light, heat, sound and motion and
how relationships are created with space and matter. Their installations,
deliberately spare and minimal in appearance, are real experiments using
randomness as a basic principle for the working process. How the work and
the space surrounding it are perceived and interpreted is central to the
meaning of the work.
The project for AndréhnÂSchiptjenko consists of three separate
installations. One of them, Oscillators, was shown last year at the Berlin
Art Fair, and in a larger version at the Museo Rufino Tamayo in Mexico City.
The other two will be created on site. Both installations deal with feedback
and continuity of movement in form of different pendulum systems.
The exhibition runs through Feb 15 and the gallery is open Tuesday  Friday
11-17h and Saturday 12-17h. For further information and visuals, please
