Jonas Dahlberg

Kunsthall Trondheim, Trondheim

Being trained originally as an architect before migrating into art, Jonas Dahlberg has a deep interest in the spatial. Besides commissions for public art works, he has mainly worked with film and more often than not, the films have evolved around different spatialities. The narration is usually limited to a slow camera movement-the camera searches the place, not unlike a surveillance practise (another expressed interest)-with an almost disinterested gaze. For his new film, "The Music Box", Jonas Dahlberg has chosen a different method. This time the room is a more limited and narrow space, and it's not a model but the inside of an existing object, a music box. The music box was once a gift from the artist's grandfather to his mother, and has been present in the family home. It's a small toy, in which pins on a revolving cylinder creates sounds when struck against the teeth of a metal comb. It's winded up with a key on the back-the image of the turning key measuring the limitations of time resembles the function of an hourglass. The main part of the installation is a film taking place inside the music box. Opening: January 22, 7pm, Jonas Dahlberg in conversation with curator Helena Holmberg, 7:30pm
