Ingenuous but scary cardboard models of bunkers and pistols, detailed copper prints
of troubled love and dreams, and collage portraits of Chechen women suicide bombers
are just some examples of what is on display in Iaspis' new Project Studio. The six
artists in the exhibition share an interest in the formal aspects of art production.
They also show special devotion to the craftsmanship of their particular medium and
method.
Whether they work with etchings, video, wall paintings, cardboard
installations, theatre plays or macram-like paper collages, each artist
shows special devotion to the craftsmanship of his or her particular medium and
method. However, they move beyond the formal aspects and devise encounters of
different worlds and spheres in their work. Thus, the form turns into a formality --
something important, even crucial without overshadowing all else -- rather than just
formalism.
The participating artists stem from a wide range of countries from four continents.
For several of them, this is the first exhibition in Sweden.
