Video Art Abroad - Sweden
Curator: Joa Ljungberg

Barutana, 21 h
August 26.

This program involves three artists:
Nathalie Djurberg, Petra Lindholm, and Annika Ström.

Nathalie Djurberg was born in 1978, graduated from the Malmö Art Academy in 2002. Nathalie is engaged in the animation of clay figures, which are at the same time cruel and naïve, and in which poetic and mythological illustration is carefully accompanied with music and sound effects.

Petra Lindholm was born in 1973, graduated from the Royal Art Academy in Stockholm, in 2001. The layers of songs and sounds are carefully synchronized to come and go with pictures. Her video works are composed of sequences of pictures, which look as if they were extracted from dreams. Instead of telling a story, Petra’s video works create an atmosphere, which sometimes have a meditating effect on a viewer.

Annika Ström was born in 1964, graduated from the Royal Art Academy in Copenhagen, in 1997. Like the other two artists, Annika also bases her video works on pictures and music. She writes simple songs, which she sings while playing the keyboard. The recordings and singing make a collage concentrated around the trivialities and interests of the artist’s everyday life.
