Fylkingen at Spring Clean:

Josefin Lindebrink, Janna Holmstedt and Jacek Smolicki, Fylkingen PPPOD

Friday 3 and Saturday 4 May, 1–6pm

In collaboration with Marabouparken konsthall, Fylkingen presents two acts, which in different ways activate the audience’s listening. In the installation Habitat, by Josefin Lindebrink the audience are invited to place themselves on oscillating surfaces. Between the installation and the visitor’s own body a circuit of sounds is formed that challenges the skin as the border between biology and technology.

In Sonic Sensibilities, Janna Holmstedt and Jacek Smolicki invite you to a series of activities -a silent walk, a concert and a performance- in the park and inside the gallery’s main hall. The acts begin with a silent walk outdoors in which existing sounds are observed and woven together with   smaller sound installations by Smolicki. The sound walk is followed by a concert where Smolicki creates fascinating soundscapes with the help of everyday objects, prerecorded sonds and live recordings. Following this, Janna Holmstedt moves between the human, the synthetic and the beastly in her performance. Her piece builds upon archival material and sound recordings from a scientific experiment where dolphins were suppose to learn to speak english through their blowhole.

In the Konsthall’s library some of the teeming activities and the genre transcending art and musik being created at Fylkingen will be presented through a listening station for the Fylkingen pod cast: Fylkingen PPPOD.

Fylkigen is an artist run stage and association for experimental music and art. The association was founded in 1933 och has ever since supported and presented a wide offer of the most prominent composers, musicians and artist in the field of radical electronic, contemporary music, performing arts and multimedia. In 2019 Fylkingen turns 86 years old, which makes the association the oldest forum of its kind.

My Lindh
You Are Here Now [Du är här nu]

15 min

A reading and a performance that takes place in the relation between three subjects: a text, an I, whom has written the text and the you, whom is reading the text.

Alternately the text addresses the You, in a figuration of the work’s extension in the time-space, and alternately it takes shape as an inner monologue through personal account of the doubts, hopes and efforts in shaping the work of the I.

The questions of the performance spans across subjects of play, power, responsibility, position, presence, materiality, resistance and crisis.

Lambrusco

ca 15 min

With rhythm, a swimmer controls its own body. Sometimes beyond it, the rhythm lifts the swimmer together with the stream of the water. What forms a swimmer’s mindset?

In the performance Lambrusco, it moves in different rhythms reflecting internal and external forces that lead it to take control.

Tai-chi with Anna Holtenstam

Friday 3 & Saturday 4 May, 1–2pm

No previous experience required
The tai-chi will take place even if it’s raining a little, but not if it’s pouring down. 

Tai Chi is performed a series of movements. The origins of these movement come from self-defense but in this form (”The 24 Form”) they are performed in soft, slow flow. The exercises consist of a lot of coordination and balance, which in a way ”forces” the practitioner to be deeply present in their own body and what takes place in the moment.

The exercises will be adapted so that also those who don not have any previous experience of Tai Chi can partake. We will run through some of the movements in more detail.

Welcome!
