N:th Wave installation “Finnisage” 20.3. 2021
My N:th wave installation has been turning in the window of Walden Kunstaustellungen gallery in Berlin Neukölln since 15.1. 2021. Because of strict contact restrictions early this year in Berlin, there was no opening reception at that time. Now the rules allow for a small finnisage, if you register that you are coming to info@galerie-walden.de per email. I am present the whole time from 16.00 to 20.00.
The artworks was supposed to be shown also in 2021 LUX Helsinki exhibition in february, but that got cancelled as expected. I had hoped that the time i take the installation down, we would be looking to a more optimistic spring, but i was wrong. Lets see if N.th wave will shown again during waves 5, 6 and 7. I hope not.
N:th Wave
In the year 2020 we are following a long awaited natural disaster in slow motion but its scope has surprised everyone. Social life grows ever smaller and hanging around at home is reflected in the overconsumption of the news. How many new covid cases?
The invisible risk to catch the disease is made visible by colours glowing bright in the ultraviolet light as door handles, rails and buttons all seem lethal. In the Christmas time window displays of the pandemic era each new day brings new infection spread maps. By it you can stop and be amazed by your own minusculity and try to understand that in order to help more you need to do less. The Walden Kunstaustellungen exhibition has specifically been designed to be pandemic compatible, that is, viewable only from outside.
