Audio intervista con il curatore di "Alla maniera d'oggi. Base a Firenze": 8 artisti si sono misurati con altrettanti spazi rinascimentali fiorentini
WÃ¥hlstrand works in ink-wash, a time-consuming and precise technique she has come to master to perfection. Her motives are images from her fatherâ--s family-album. The original photographs were taken by the artistâ--s grandfather and are depictions of a bourgeois family life, meticulously staged in a way that reminds us of many scenes from the history of painting.
The discipline and stringency required by the technique she has chosen creates a parallel between the motive and its execution. WÃ¥hlstrandâ--s work involves a deeply personal as well as universal process. The precise and demanding nature of the work involved in the depiction of these documents is a means for the artist to physically and mentally approach a personal history that she, while having no personal experience of it, suffers the consequences of. This process also has a general human meaning.
The exhibition opens on Thursday February 24 between 5-8 pm and the exhibition runs through April 2. For more information and visuals, please contact the gallery tel +46 8 612 00 75.
Next exhibition: Maria Lindberg, new works, April 7 â-- May 14.
