Memories of a city
- 2017
-
In: Memories of a city. - Göteborg : University of Gothenburg. - 1101-3303. - 9789188101037 ; , s. 8-16
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Presented at the international conference Challenge the past / diversify the future, the contributions collected herein deal with ways of challenging accepted historical representations of the City by offering modes of recollection and perspectives that capture both multi-sensory and multi-layered aspects of urban context. As such, they offer new empirically grounded research on the experiences of the inhabitants, both past and present, whether individually or as a collective. With a focus on the city as a space that is performed by a host of actants reaching across time through both materiality and memory, the authors critically address modes through which visual, audible, and multi-sensory representations can challenge, diversify or uproot conventions of urban representation. Four projects. Four takes on making representations of a city.

The Fold, A Physical Model of Abstract Reversibility and Envelopment
- 2017
-
In: The Dark Precursor: Deleuze and Artistic Research. - Leuven : Leuven University Press. - 9462701180 - 9789462701182
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- For artistic research, the model of the fold is exceptionally interesting because it deals with how form and contents intertwine in a physical model, and how concrete and abstract interrelate on the plane of consistency. In my chapter I focus on chapter two in "The Fold" by Gilles Deleuze, and take up the concept of inflection as an elastic point in the model of the fold that discloses a reality of reversibility. Deleuze states that for Paul Klee the point as a “nonconceptual concept of noncontradiction” (15) moves along an inflection. “It is the point of inflection itself, where the tangent crosses the curve. That is the point-fold” (ibid). Through a simple sketch, Deleuze demonstrates how the point of inflection is the point where the concave turns to be convex. This is the point of inflection. What happens in the point of inflection? Is it a conjunction? A passage? It would seem that this very special point is a point that conceals a profound metaphysical realization. It is a physical point in the attribute of extension that corresponds to an invisible point of abstraction in the attribute of thought. Deleuze wants to draw attention to this point by referring to the thinking of Leibniz, the Neoplatonists, and Whitehead. Because of the existence of concave and convex, there are different point of views, depending on which place we see from. The enfolding reality has multiple points of views; each point of view is a perspective. It appears that we are captured in our point of view. There is always a reversible side of a point of view, and by the power of the imagination we can think the concept of reversibility. A physical model of the fold reveals, in fact, a metaphysical reality of the attributes, and the power of the attributes, according to Deleuze’s references to Spinoza. This thinking of Deleuze encompasses several crucial things: First, we assume that reality has a mirroring construction; in other words, reality corresponds to an abstract reality that the model of the Fold demonstrates. That is to say, physical reality and abstraction are two sides of the same coin. Second, the model of enfolding implies an innate life, the life of a monad, a singularity as a soul. Deleuze writes, “We are moving from inflection to inclusion in a subject, as if from virtual to the real, inflection defining the fold, but inclusion defining the soul or the subject, that is, what envelops the fold, its final cause and its complete act.” (24). Finally, Deleuze asks, “in order that the virtual can be incarnated of effectuated, is something needed other than this actualization in the souls? Is a realization in the matter also required, because the folds of this matter might happen to reduplicate the folds in the soul?” (29). I explore whether the way of creating folds in matter leads to a life of sensibility, by making sculptoral models of folds though a process of autogenesis. The art work consists of a preparation of a material for making folds in matter. By letting them coagulate, I thereby “freeze” the process to a fixed form, in order to let a “nondimensional point between dimensions” (16) be visible. Reference: Gilles Deleuze.

Indra’s Daughter and the modernist body: Costume and the fashioned body as scenography in A Dream Play (1915–18).
- 2019
-
In: Studies in Costume & Performance. - : Intellect. - 2052-4013 .- 2052-4021. ; 4:2, s. 179-191
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)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.

Konsthantverk i Sverige, del 1
- 2015
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Konsthantverk i Sverige del 1 samlar 18 författare. Boken kommer ur ett gemensamt intresse att förändra och vidga en konventionell historieskrivning om konsthantverk, bortom traditionella materialuppdelningar och nationella förståelser. Det vi skriver om kan ha kallats slöjd, konst, design, pyssel, konsthantverk, formgivning, brukskonst, hantverk och hemslöjd. Historia betraktas här som något pågående, något som vi gör. Det är ingen neutral aktivitet utan den är platsspecifik. I Konsthantverk i Sverige del 1 skildrar författarna från sina perspektiv en berättelse om materialitet och görande i Sverige från sent 1800-tal och fram till i dag. Boken skall inte ses som Historien med stort h utan snarare som de första stegen i en diskussion om historia, materialitet och görande.Med texter av Zandra Ahl, Christian Björk, Otto von Busch, Päivi Ernkvist, Kakan Hermansson, Elina Holmgren, Charlotte Hyltén-Cavallius, Frida Hållander, Love Jönsson, Mahmoud Keshavarz, Gunilla Lundahl, Helena Mattsson, Anneli Palmsköld, Johanna Rosenqvist, Miro Sazdic, Rosa Taikon, Jorunn Veiteberg, Christina Zetterlund

AHA! festival 2015
- 2015
-
Other publication (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The AHA festival investigates the borders between art and science in a three-day event at the Chalmers University of Technology hosted by the Department of Architecture. An international festival intended to provide enlightening experiences, staging surprises, new thoughts and displaced perspectives that lead to alternative modes of thinking about the space between art and science. We invite scientists (physicists, historians, mathematicians, medical students), artists (dancers, musicians, painters, poets, chefs) and not least architects, who reside in these borderlands and wish to share their vision and work. The key intention is to celebrate both art and science as key knowledge building devices.
