Skissernas Museum – Museum of Artistic Process and Public Art are happy to welcome all employees at Lund University to join a guided tour through the exhibition.
The exhibition brings together three artists who work with coded threads in their art in distinct ways. All artists allow the artistic process to expand through self-generating or collective systems.
Amalie Smith shows a suggestive installation with digitally dreamed images. Filipa César follows the intercontinental slave trade and the historical routes of the textile industry. In its wake, she finds woven threads that are coded with resistance. The art group Metahaven’s jacquard-woven textile works, produced on contemporary computerized looms, can be read as fictional maps or systems of thought. For this exhibition, they have created a new work consisting of two parallel weavings alongside moving images. The piece builds on sketches from the museum’s collection.
Several older works from the collection also find their place in the exhibition, forming an inner processing room, a memory center with possible connections that branch out into the contemporary parts of the exhibition.
