19 Apr Sessa Englund
Residency Period: July 2017
During her month at AADK, Sessa has examined the space through the use of materials with an open and experimental focus, establishing a dialogue between the actions and the materiality.
Sessa presents a series of installations with the common element of suspension, such as the group of anthropomorphic sculptures inspired in the nordic mythology that hang from the rock. On the floor, smaller room-like installations house two core elements that talk about a local past: a basic design chair, long time unused and found in the surroundings, and an industrial jersey with an attached patch of wool worked in a crafty manner.
Her works talk about the fragile balance between the “ways of doing” of two different time periods that still coexist.
