Markakt
Art Lab Gnesta
Commissioned project

A site-specific project examining Holmen in Gnesta and it’s adjacent landscape. We made a raft from local timber to expand our reach. The off-cuts were burned to make tar which we used to seal the wood. Material change is constant. Floating on the surface, measuring the depth, marking the level where the shore used to be and wondering where it’s going. The landscape will never again be the same as right now. We sewed work uniforms and a flag/sail and dyed the fabric with our food waste. We painted the landscape with clay dyed with iron oxide and turmeric to direct the view. Rocks were reformed and placed back where we found them. We left our marks and became part of the movement.

The project was presented at Holmenfestivalen on 17/9-22 and documented in a publication.

Markakt
Collaborative practice

Markakt is a platform for collaborative artistic research. A site, a material or a trace of an event becomes the starting point for a dialogue around the ground beneath our feet. What are the ground’s experiences, what do want from it and what does it want from us?

Markakt is a duo between artists Jenny Käll and Sara Söderberg.

Statens konstråd - Lokala konstprojekt
Malmberget
Public art project

A site-specific and self-initiated project in Malmberget, funded by the Swedish art council. I was interested in how material was valued, used and wasted while this evacuated town was being demolished to make space for the expanding iron ore mining. Most of the people had moved away and the buildings where taken down one by one. I invited artist Jenny Käll and architect Malin Rönnerfalk to an artist-in-residence in a former school where we lived and worked. LKAB gave us all-access to buildings and fenced-off sites.

Four public installations where exhibited in July/August 2020 and the project was documented in a publication.

A biological, turned geological, evolution irreversibly altered by human interaction. The unique 450 million year old relics within the limestone blocks mined at the Cementa quarry on Gotland are transformed into a homogenous powder, cement, to build the modern world with a massive impact. Limestone fossils, to concrete, to techno fossils.

The installation of a cast concrete relief was temporarily installed on Swedenborgsgatan from June-August during the summer exhibition Levande Stockholm.

I built a public sauna as a suggested destination to share for anyone interested in a former stone quarry. I wanted to question the idea of ownership and challenge the experience of spaces we share and meet in: who makes them, for whom, using what techniques and what materials. Made by hand using mostly material readily available in and around the quarry; clay, sand, stone, gravel, hay, manure and timber.
