Konstnärligt arbete (film/video) (refereegranskat)abstract
- The presented work is composed by Marc Johnson — a memory worker — who is currently a Ph.D. candidate in performative and media-based practices at the Stockholm University of the Arts. The shared perspectives are engaging issues of violence from the center of an artistic practice-based research focused on archival practices and concerned with how a documentary heritage circulates, is formed, debated, shared, and re-interpreted.The lecture-performance starts by considering the “Rights of Nature” — from recent environmental litigations in Aotearoa (New Zealand), Bolivia, and Ecuador — which focus on the idea of legal standing. What does it take to enforce the legal personhood of a river or other natural entities?Marc Johnson investigates and reflects on some ways to deal with representations of murdered bodies — human and more-than-human (cellular life forms) — without replicating historical patterns of abuse? Under what conditions shall these documents, artifacts, or, images be seen?Marc Johnson collaborates with Hitomi Ohki 大木瞳 — Soprano singer — to expose how polyphony[1] and counterpoint[2] applied to cinema can be used practically to navigate the uncertain archive(s) of violence studies.Marc Johnson addresses the dynamics of archival silences[3] and archival amnesty[4] as an important reminder of the ways in which violence — despite its presence in the everyday life of most people mainly through paper-based, and online news media (including social networks) — can also be deeply buried and invisible through institutional and corporate powers and other means; nonetheless impacting the lives of ordinary people (as opposed to powerful people, military, political and business leaders).The proposal does not intend to resolve; but rather to expose and to put oneself in the presence of using the means of montage.Skepsis is the deployed strategy throughout the duration of the time-based work as defined by Jacques Derrida as a “vigilance, and attention of the gaze during an examination. […] One is on the lookout, one reflects upon what one sees, reflects what one sees by delaying the moment of conclusion.”[5] [1] A process of combining two or more voices so that they harmonize with each other but maintain their individuality.[2] A process of adding one or more melodies as an accompaniment to a given melody according to certain fixed rules; a composition in which melodies are thus combined.[3] Rodney G.

Fotografi bortom väggen : Photography beyond the wall

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I samband med utställningen Sea of Files med årets Hasselbladspristagare Dayanita Singh bjuder vi in till ett samtal om ”fotografi bortom väggen.” Dayanita Singh utmanar regelbundet konventioner över hur fotografier presenteras, förvaras och cureras. Detta synliggörs bland annat i de rumsliga installationer genom vilka hennes fotografier blir till arkitektoniska kroppar som dikterar rörelser i rummet, genom sina innovativa fotoböcker och portabla ”mini-museum”, samt i hennes egna idéer om att frigöra fotografiet från sin statiska roll på väggen för att i stället låta det ta plats som en föränderlig del i rummet. Det här samtalet undersöker fotografiets olika presentationsformer, bortom den mer konventionella hängningen på väggen. Det kan exempelvis handla om alternativa hängningar, installationer, projektioner, böcker, film, curering av fotografiska konstutställningar och andra tankar och idéer som dyker upp i relation till temat ”fotografi bortom väggen.”

Indra’s Daughter and the modernist body: Costume and the fashioned body as scenography in A Dream Play (1915–18).

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this article I analyse Swedish scenographer Knut Ström’s costume and set design sketches, made in Germany in 1915–18, for his production of August Strindberg’s A Dream Play. I focus on the costume sketches for the main character, Indra’s daughter, and discuss how the act of costuming is more than just dressing up a body onstage; it also produces the body and makes it meaningful in relation to the scenographic whole. The modernist female body could, among other aspects, be understood as a body with agency, a clothed body in motion where clothing, staging and patterns of movement all helped create a new, slim silhouette. This view of the female fashioned body, I argue, leaves an imprint on Knut Ström’s visual thinking in the sketch material where Indra’s Daughter emerges in corsetless, straight dresses. Ström’s staging of Indra’s daughter as a modernist woman not only anchors her in the process of social change; it also underlines the ‘othering’ qualities of costume and serves to distinguish her as an outsider in the play. As pointed out by Barbieri, costume can communicate with the spectators both metaphorically and viscerally. In the case of Indra’s Daughter, Ström could be said to use the modernist costuming of Indra’s Daughter metaphorically to set her apart from the other actors in more traditional costumes, and physically, with colours and shapes of her costumes that visibly stand out from the scenographic landscape. Ström’s creative work with the sketches for A Dream Play shows how he understood the power of the costumed body as a vital part of the scenographic whole.

Allmänningen/The Common Room
- 2023
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Allmänningen/The Common Room was a Vinnova-funded project at the Faculty of Fine, Applied and Performing Arts, Gothenburg University (2018–2021). The aim of the project was to begin to develop and pilot a new public model for collaboration and usership between the university and society. Referring directly to the Swedish commons concept of Allmänningen and illustrated through terms such as Allmän (general), Allemansrätten (right of public access), Allmänheten (the general public), the commons can be viewed as not only a right to public access, but a relation between societal institutions and the individual citizen. A relation which within the context of Sweden, could and should naturally be applied and extended to the publicly funded university as a common societal resource. Although there are differences between the natural commons studied by influential figures such as Elinor Ostrom and the university as ‘commons’, the analogy stresses the relational dimensions between viable and sustainable institutions, and the public trust in the commons & its resources. Through a series of residencies in 2021, Allmänningen (The Common Room) began by inviting practitioners, collectives and organisations to help think through questions of what kind of common resources are produced within the university? How can these resources be developed as public commons? In what sense are these resources enclosed, vulnerable and at risk of exploitation? And what is needed today to produce a socially sustainable institution? By addressing these questions, the residencies through scholarship and practice piloted and began to suggest alternative modes and models for university collaboration and usership. Allmänningen/The Common Room prototyped residencies with Sandi Hilal (DAAR), Post Workers Theatre, Kulturhuset Blå Stället and Åbäke. Through four posters with edited interviews, transcriptions and commissioned texts the overall publication provides a comprehensive overview of the residency outputs and intentions.

A grain of eternity
- 2022
-
Annan publikation (refereegranskat)abstract
- My essay is an excursion out to a sand quarry where I have done investigative work about the place. I have researched the history of the place, what materials are there, what plants and animals live there and how we humans use the place today and how we affect its design. The essay investigates the choreography of life’s movements and transformations in the physical world, and how the physical space bends according to life, but that life also adapts to the changing space at the same time. The result of the interaction between the different agents is what I've been searching for. And how that same effect happens in my work in the studio.
