AHA! festival 2014
- 2014
-
Other publication (other academic/artistic)abstract
- ”Science and art” is the typical motto of a polytechnic, with the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm as a Swedish example. Only too seldom do we have occasion to ask ourselves what the words are meant to imply.The Royal Institute of Technology received its emblem in 1827. At that time, ”science” referred to theoretical knowledge, and ”art” to practical ability. Our understanding of the world around us on the one hand, our capacity to change it on the other – in both cases in a systematic or methodical fashion, and in both cases in broad generality. Today, we would rather speak of theory and practice, but the question is essentially the same: how do we go from thought to action, and how do we get back again?But the meaning of the two words was soon to change. Today, ”science” no longer refers to systematic knowledge, but rather to a highly professionalised, specialised and often technically advanced activity intended for the production of empirically secure facts. Similarly, ”art” is no longer a methodical ability, but rather a complex and autonomous activity comparable to science: the creation of images, sounds, and other forms of sensuous experience with a most immediate effect. Forms that grab hold, shake up, leave us at a loss. Experiences that make us question ourselves and the world around us.The relation between science and art has become more complex, but is just as important to attend to. Their meeting is still that of theory and practice, but also something more: a meeting of causal connections and meaningful coherences, of given conditions and unsuspected possibilities, of the order of things and our own place within it.By bringing together science and art, architecture provides an ideal playing field for such a confrontation. This is why the Department of Architecture at the Chalmers University of Technology has initiated the AHA! Festival, October 21–23, 2014 that, during three days of lectures, workshops, conversations, exhibitions, concerts, performances, and mingles, will offer thought-provoking experiences, hands-on surprises, itinerant perspectives, and savoury ideas. In this way the festival welcomes students and researches at Chalmers and the University of Gothenburg to turn the searchlight onto the relation between two different– but equally important – human activities.

Memory is Frail (and Truth Brittle) – performance lecture
- 2024
-
In: Jakarta, MACAN Museum, 13 Jan 2024.
-
Artistic work (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This performance lecture is based on an eponymous installation of 115 charcoal and graphite drawings the artist made in 2019, which was based on a text published in 2018. It questions the nature of reality and the building block of human knowledge, which is perceived mainly through humankind’s limited senses, the main part of which is the eye. At an allegorical level, it interrogates how our understanding of the world is largely constructed visually and recorded through memory, and how these are also prone to manipulation, for example in state propaganda and isolated versions of state-sanctioned history. --- Art does not merely articulate an artist’s personal expression but is often inseparable from a larger historical, political, and geographical context. To kick off the 2024 Museum MACAN public programs, artist/researcher Tintin Wulia presents a performance lecture and discussion session, Memory is Frail (and Truth Brittle). Exhibited as 115 illustrations drawn with charcoal and graphite, Memory is Frail (and Truth Brittle) presents a connection between major world events scattered across different times and places, and how these events are recollected by humans. As the subject navigates through ideas surrounding reality, frailty of memory, and human geography and history, Wulia interrogates what we believe to be reality is constructed largely from our sensory perception, state-sanctioned histories, and fragile memories of humans.

Suriashi as a ceremonial, subversive act
- 2019
-
In: WNM 2019: Walking’s New Movements’: a conference to discuss the latest developments and future prospects for radical walking and walking arts.
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Abstract My presentation departures from my PhD project ‘Suriashi – an interventionist practice in urban spaces’, where I look at society from within a Japanese practice called suriashi. Suriashi is practiced in performance, martial arts and Sumo wrestling. On stage, suriashi often represents the traveler in constant flux, either travelling between geographical places or travelling from a spiritual state to a human state. The practice not only depicts geographical places, it also depicts metaphysical and liminal spaces and time. For my research, I have since 2014 practiced suriashi at a very slow pace in urban spaces, in squares and on streets, inside busy places, as a solo act, a conversation act, an activist act, a thing-to-do-together-act, a gift-act, a friendship act etc. I will present what I have found since I started to practice in 2000 with the master Nishikawa Senrei in Kyoto. The slow practice has become a methodology to approach spaces, while investigating the location of bodies and immaterial and material monuments, and thereby challenge how we relate to each other and to spaces.

Scenographic Dialogues: Staging Carl Grabow’s 1907 Designs for A Dream Play (Part 1)
- 2019
-
In: Dokumenterat. - 1404-9899. ; :51, s. 4-42
-
Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- In a series of articles we, an art historian – von Rosen – and a theatre historian – Szalczer –, set out to reassess Carl Grabow’s 1907 designs for the world premiere of August Strindberg’s A Dream Play at the Swedish Theatre (Svenska Teatern) in Stockholm. By doing so, we challenge the persistently negative narrative on Grabow’s work with the production, to be found both in Swedish and international theatre and art history. The first article in the series focuses on Grabow’s color designs for the production, kept at the Swedish Museum of Performing Arts (Scenkonstmuseet) in Stockholm, and are made digitally accessible for the first time here in Dokumenterat. Within the broader field of scenography research designs have been proven to have agency beyond their realization on stage, and can also be used to access visual, spatial and multimodal resources of past performances. Our goal is to probe into how a scenographic approach to Grabow’s designs, understood as vital parts of the performance archive, may contribute to developing new historiographic methods while yielding new insights on the production history of A Dream Play. Throughout our first scenographic journey with Grabow’s designs we tested iconography as a method to explore and experience the world created by them. As we shall see in the next article, the testimonies of reviewers and illustrators indicate that Grabow’s collaboration with the production team resulted in different solutions than the perhaps early ideas envisioned in these designs. What is significant for us, however, is that regardless of its stage realization, the design-series manifests an autonomy, a unified artistic vision, conveyed by the succession of images as a painterly and multi-sensory reflection of the world of the play. What became apparent is that far from being haphazard superficial sketches, Grabow’s designs present a consistent interpretation of A Dream Play, with strong occult-spiritual overtones and attempts at painterly dematerialization, which counteract the realism and the materialization of the dream he was accused of by critics ever since. In our next article, we will further explore Grabow’s designs, including drawn and written information on their backsides, in the context of contemporary critical and pictorial response to the actual stage production. By staging a dialogue between the designs and the performance within its cultural milieu, we not only hope to learn more about Grabow’s craft and working process, but also about the constructive use of the scenographic approach in archival research.

New Silk: Exploring design-science collaboration for new materials.
- 2019
-
In: Clot magazine. ; March:23
-
Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- New Silk is a 4 year material research project conducted at Aalto University aiming to produce new types of silk-like materials in the context of synthetic biology. The project is inspired by how spiders produce their cobweb – a material with properties surpassing existing synthetic materials. The New Silk project combines the knowledge of production of silk proteins with skills in polymer processing and the creative perspective of designers. The aim is to open a new interdisciplinary research path and to lay the foundation for this type of materials design, to be able to envision materials of the far future. The design research component in New Silk aims to construct new knowledge through an experimental approach during early-stage fundamental materials research. This text focuses on moments where people from different disciplines collaborate in an experimental workshop setting.

Konsthistoriepodden, avsnitt 16: Lars Lerin, Fönster mot gården
- 2021
-
In: Konsthistoriepodden. - : Acast. ; :16
-
Other publication (other academic/artistic)abstract
- I detta avsnitt pratar vi om det mest samtida konstverk i poddens historia hittills, nämligen Lars Lerins akvarellmålning ”Fönster mot gården” från 2009, som finns i Nordiska Akvarellmuseets samlingar. I podden pratar vi om Lerins motivvärld och arbetssätt, men även om akvarellmediets historia och traditioner samt föreställningar som förknippas med detta medium. Inte minst kontextualiserar vi målningen och dess motiv. Vi berättar bland annat om filmförlagan ”Fönstret åt gården” från 1954 och dess utgångspunkter som filmens regissör Alfred Hitchcock hittade i den amerikanska målaren Edward Hoppers konst och hans voyeuristiska motiv.
