María Kolodynski (AR) och Anna Kinbom (SE)
Maria Kolodynski’s (AR) stay at Malongen during summer 2023 supports an international
research-based collaboration between Anna Kinbom (SE) and Kolodynski who mutually
nurture each other: Anna plays the role of producer in Maria's art project, and vice versa.
Something shines beneath the Earth, is an artistic research on artificial, “natural”/cultivated
and inner landscapes by Kolodynski. The project takes Frösundatoppen Hill, located on the
surroundings of Stockholm, which has literally been built from the rubble of the former heart
of the city as a trigger and first working site. This situation is a metaphor of our own ruins, of
our personal history and of the internal constructions that a priori cannot be seen, our
internal landscapes. The ideas of; nature, illusion, simulacrum, public space that hides
history are explored. The results of the work will be shown in an idea-exhibition at ID:I
Galleri.
Kinbom works on two projects that are performances for camera called Bryggan duo and
When you wake up I go to sleep. Niklas Wennström is Kinbom’s collaborator in Bryggan duo
and they made their first public performance a year ago at Konshall C. The two started
playing music together when they worked as personal assistants and the collaboration stems
from an interest in the positive effects of music on the individual. The project will also be a
continuation of Kinbom’s research about Lacanian therapy which she initiated during a
residency in Buenos Aires in 2022.
María Kolodynski (B&R* Patagonia, 1991) is an artist and filmmaker. She has a bachelor's
degree in Image and Sound Design from the University of Buenos Aires. María focuses her
artistic practice around the link between a body and otherness: an endless conversation in
permanent movement and investigates the invisible forces of connection, the perception of
the hidden, the mysterious of the soul. Works to find the way to continue living in
contradiction through those objects and places that present themselves to her: silkworms,
videos, glass, spaces, people, magnets, to name a few. By following them she gives them
form. Currently attending the Artists Program at the Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, Art
Department, Postgraduate.She lives and works in Buenos Aires. *Brought and Raised
