Redefining Residency - Residens med Ivana Kralikova 1-14 nov. 2021

Under hösten 2021 blir det premiär för Redefining Residency, ett projekt som utforskar hållbara och solidariska utbyten under klimatkris, pandemi och global orättvisa.

Som en del av Redefining Residency kommer ett pilotresidens genomföras i två delar. Konstnären Ivana Králíkóva är inbjuden till att på plats i NKF:s ateljé Malongen undersöka frågan om det hållbara residenset, göra research samt pröva och ta fram olika metoder.

Redefining Residency drivs av konstnärerna Alvaro Campo och My Lindh. I projektgruppen ingår även curator Sara Rossling och konstnär Jacqueline Hoàng Nguyên. Projektet drivs inom ramen för NKF med stöd av Region Stockholm.

Ivana Králíková är utbildad vid Academy of Arts, Architecture och Design i Prag, Tjeckien samt Konstfack och RIA i Stockholm. Hennes konstnärskap rör sig kring olika aspekter av mänskligt utbyte med jorden. Králíkovás praktik har utvecklats kontinuerligt från att vara baserad i keramikstudion till större interventioner. Arbetet närmar sig en social kontext, för att ytterligare undersöka förhållandet mellan människor och material, föremål eller utrymmen i neomiljön, en sammanflätad miljö av naturliga och tekniska system. Králíková är för närvarande engagerad i det långsiktiga forskningsprojektet “Gräv Där Du Står”.

Redefining Residency - Residency with Ivana Kralikova 1-14 nov. 2021

In the autumn of 2021, NKF will launch Redefining Residency, a project that explores sustainable and solidary exchanges in the midst of  the climate crisis, pandemic and global injustice.

As part of the Redefining Residency a pilot residency in two parts will also be conducted. The artist Ivana Králíkóva is invited to investigate the issue of sustainable residence on site in NKF's studio Malongen, to do research, to experiment and develop different methods.

Redefining Residency is run by artists Alvaro Campo and My Lindh. The project group also includes curator Sara Rossling and artist Jacqueline Hoàng Nguyên. The project is run within the framework of NKF with the support of the Stockholm Region.

Ivana Králíková is educated at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague, Czech Republic and the University of Art and RIA in Stockholm. Her art work is informed by various aspects of human exchange with earth. It continuously evolved from ceramic studio practice into larger interventions, seeking a social context to further examine relationship between humans and materials, objects or spaces in the neoenvironment, an entangled environment of natural and technological systems. Ivana is currently commited to long-term research called “Dig Where You Stand”.

About the contributors:
Sara Rossling is an independent curator and writer with an MA in Curating Art from Stockholm University. Rossling is currently the chairman of the board of the Nordic Art Association (NKF). She has an interest in cross-disciplinary thinking, collective processes, sustainability, artistic response to societal issues, and discussions about public art.
Jacqueline Hoàng Nguyễn is a Canadian-born artist currently Phd student at the Doctoral Programme in Art, Techonlogy and Design (KTD) at Konstfack and KTH. Her practice is primarily research-based and often takes the form of installation, video, photographs and audio. Some of the themes that surface in Nguyễn’s work include resistance, power, and feminism. Many of her projects look at how histories are recorded within archival records and reclaim narratives of activism and citizen-led solidarity networks.
My Lindh is an artist based in Stockholm, with an MA from Konstfack. Lindhs practice is situation- and time sensitive and takes place as installation, video, audio and text. Lindhs work explores our shared spaces, how we co-become, what room for actions that exists and for whom. She is interested in performativity in relation to perceptions of nature, how notions of nature can be reconstructed and reformulated, and how human beings, other living beings and matter are in dialogue.
Alvaro Campo is an artist based in Stockholm, he is educated at the International Center of Photography in New York and at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm. His work is often site-specific and developed in relation to the public sphere; where it addresses the sharing of common spaces. His work also generally  addresses a constantly shifting and evermore fluid sense of reality as human perception evolves closer and closer to technology. He is interested in the mediation of the senses by technology and how this influences human beings' everyday experience and their relationship to the physical and natural world.
