DAGENS NYHETER Kultur. Gone Fishing av Lena Mattsson, musik Conny C-A Malmqvist

Suggestiva ljusspel och gnistrande tingelingpulver i Borås Läs Dan Jönssons recension i DN Kultur ”Av konstnärerna ute i stadsrummet är Lena Mattsson den som lyckas bäst, med en stillsam videoprojektion under en av broarna över Viskan, där ett barn koncentrerat står och fiskar papperstussar ur vattnet. Den skapar ett alldeles eget rum omkring sig – liksom även Rune Guneriussens myller av invasiva skrivbordslampor som rastlöst klänger uppför ett av stadsparkens knotiga gamla pilträd.”

Gone Fishing by Lena Mattsson, music Conny C-A Malmqvist

Lena Mattsson explores how we relate to and perceive the world, time and space, often basing her work on seemingly ordinary situations that gradually shift and prompt us to question the fundamentals of life. She often plays with scale, and her works appear in surprising yet tailored places. Gone Fishing features children who fish objects out of the water. Click on the link and read more.

Borås Tidning Kultur. En fantastisk utställning – både inomhus och utomhus

Borås Tidning Kultur. Läs Agnes Brusk Jahns recension av Borås Bright Art i dagens BT. "Det är en fantastisk utställning, både på konstmuseet och i stadsrummet. Vad verken betyder är upp till tolkaren, det kan vara precis vad som helst. De kompletterar varandra med olika aspekter av ljus, lek, humor och mystik. Ljus som måleri, vetenskap, naturfenomen, ljud och skulptur. Verken innehåller nyfikenhet, humor, experimentlusta och djup, samtidigt som de berör på ett djupt känslomässigt plan."

Göteborgs-Posten Kultur Borås Bright Art tar ut konsten på gatorna – ”Sinnligt och visuellt” Kultur När många städer blir mörkare i elkrisens spår blir Borås ljusare. Borås Konstmuseum gör sin största satsning på över ett år när ljusutställningen Borås Bright Art kör igång. – Stäng av tv:n och gå ut och titta på konsten i stället, det är billigare, säger museichef Eva Eriksdotter.

Borås Tidning Kultur Ljuskonst ska lysa upp Borås – mitt i elkrisen: ”Vi behöver ljus som kan förena oss” Det blir allt mörkare utomhus – då lyser Borås upp med allt från spöknät till ljusringar tack vare ljuskonstutställningen Borås Bright art. Detta görs mitt i den rådande elkrisen, något som fått flera boråsare att fundera på varför. – Sen kan man också tänka att när vi släcker ner i och med elkrisen så behöver vi också ljus som kan förena, säger Caroline Gustafsson, curator.

Roots by Lena Mattsson

Roots relates both physically and metaphorically to roots. The installation as a whole triggers ambiguous associations and shows how everything is connected – the beginning, the end, eternity. The works, both outdoors and indoors, are connected thematically and can be read as a triptych. Mattsson is deft at conjuring up moods, and takes us on a journey that is alternately thrilling, sensitive, magical, realistic and symbolic. The accompanying music is composed by the musician Conny C-A Malmqvist

BOHUSLÄNINGEN

Sprakande kväll när ljusfestivalen på Smögen invigdes BOHUSLÄNINGEN Kultur & Nöje För tredje gången invigdes den internationella ljuskonstfestivalen Island of Light på Smögen på torsdagskvällen. Det blev en sprakande folkfest när besökare vandrade bland upplysta klippväggar och maffig videokonst. – Det är lite som en dröm som går i uppfyllelse igen, säger festivalens initiativtagare Dulce Ahlberg.

Osebart Vad klarar vi inte av titta på? I vinternumret av FLM tittar vi närmare på filmerna som får oss att vända bort blicken. Filmhistorien har handlat om att synliggöra världen. Men det finns gränser – när kameran kommer för nära, när bilden visar för mycket, när vi behöver lämna salongen för att skaka av oss upplevelsen.

Dokumentära spår Essä av Malin Wahlberg Efter att ha återbesökt några verk i Filmforms omfattande samling blir jag påmind om det dokumentära spårets många olika, möjliga betydelser: Bilden består, men dess innehåll förändras oundvikligen över tid, framstår ofta i nytt ljus och tolkningarna speglas onekligen ”i betraktarens öga.” Malin Wahlberg is a Professor in Cinema Studies at the Department of Media Studies at Stockholm University.

I betraktarens öga

Dokumentära spår Essä av Malin Wahlberg I Lena Mattsons porträtt av författaren, regissören och bokförläggaren Bo Cavefors, I betraktarens öga (2013), avbildas han rakt framifrån i en konventionell ”Talking head”-tagning.

Cavefors konstaterar stillsamt att han, efter några mindre lyckade vistelser vid svenska läroverk, ”skickades till ett internat i England, en jesuitskola. Läs hela texten här!

BOOK RELEASE: Lena Mattsson – The Window Opens to the World  Onsdag 30.9, Malmö Konsthall

Lena Mattsson is recognized for her way of highlighting and challenging injustices and conflicts in our society. In several of her works, she herself actively participates and weaves in her own experiences – she identifies strongly with the most vulnerable in our society. This very personal, artistic and poetic interweaving of life and art gives her work a unique expression.

Vacker avhandling. Krönika av Clemens Altgård SKÅNSKA DAGBLADET

För fyra år sedan visade Moderna Museet i Malmö konstnären Lena Mattssons videotriptyk I betraktarens öga. På vernissagen var verkets huvudrollsinnehavare Bo Cavefors på plats och publikintresset var överväldigande. Ursprungligen gjordes verket till en utställning i Borås med rockmusik som tema. Men Cavefors är ingen rockstjärna. Däremot är han känd som en legendarisk förläggare i en kulturradikal anda med samma rebelliska attiyd som rockens pionjärer och något av samma mytologiska status.

OBS Sveriges Radio P1

Bo Cavefors - den nakne förläggaren Grötiga terroristtankar, banbrytande filosofi och viktiga litterära författarskap. Allt rymdes hos Bo Cavefors förlag. Det får en av fundera över dagens intellektuella klimat, säger Tor Billgren. Länk till radioprogrammet

In The Eye of The Beholder, Moderna Museet Malmö

Sunday, March 16th marks the last chance to see the exhibition Lena Mattsson: In The Eye of The Beholder. In Moderna Museet Malmö’s New gallery, the visitor can see the publisher Bo Cavefors tell about his life to the tunes of contemporary music by Conny C-A Malmqvist. The artist and curator Ola Åstrand holds the role as observer and in his dark sunglasses, Cavefors is reflected. The installation has been described as “courageous” and “well executed” and the exhibitions goes on all week.

Lysande dokumentär om Bo Cavefors In the Eye of the Beholder Modern Muséet i Malmö Det var fullsmockat med folk när konstnären Lena Mattson hade vernissage på Modern Muséet i Malmö, men huvudrollsinnehavaren var snarare hennes objekt, nämligen Bo Cavefors, än hon själv.

Recension av Zenzat

Superb dokumentär med Bo Cavefors Vad ska man kalla Bo Cavefors? Den avantgardiska bokutgivningens förebild? En ikon? En levande legend? I dag har Zen Zat varit på vernissage på Moderna Muséet i Malmö och sett Lena Mattsons dokumentärfilm In the eye of the beholder (I betraktarens öga), där huvudrollsinnehavaren är just Bo Cavefors. Låt oss genast säga att detta är ett lysande dokument, där Bo Cavefors själv berättar om sitt liv, sin attityd till livet, bokutgivning och erotik.

Sveriges Radio, Kulturnytt i P1

Teknologiskt akvarellmåleri i Skärhamn Lena Mattsson visar Beyond the Surface, alltså Under Ytan. I en kombination av gammalt och nytt förenar hon akvarellmålningar med DVD-projektioner. Lena Mattsson är född i Bohuslän i Kungshamn i en gammal stenhuggarsläkt och de här rötterna syns tydligt i hennes behandling av sommaridyllen Bohuslän. Den är lockande och farlig, idyllisk och mystisk på samma gång. Sveriges Radio, Kulturnytt i P1
