Warm welcome to the last RISK(U) project we arrange. One more interesting practise in a long series of in depth presentations, and conversations, about researched made by artists.
For RISK(U) Stockholm-based painter Sara Lindeborg will share the most recent part of her painting series Ring Song (2020–ongoing), an inquiry into pre-modern pluralistic forms that emerged during the Al-Andalus period (711–1492) in Spain: Mozarabic illuminated manuscripts and the Andalusi poetic form muwashshah.
BIO
Sara Lindeborg (1984/SE) is a painter, educator, and researcher living in Stockholm. Her work uses painting as a way of thinking alongside the traces, fractures and lines running counter to the paradigmatic structures of European modernity. Recent works include Speculative Architecture, a painting series based on a 2023 research trip to Córdoba and Granada, Spain. Her work has been presented at SIGNAL – Centre for Contemporary Art, Malmö (2020-22), Istituto Svizzero Roma (2015), and Haus der Kulturen der Welt Berlin (2015), among others. Between 2015–2017 she ran the interdisciplinary research project at HFBK Hamburg Mapping (with) Plants together with art historian Hanne Loreck about art, ecology and feminist practices. Lindeborg studied painting with Jutta Koether at HFBK Hamburg where she graduated with her MFA in 2015. She is a teacher at Gerlesborgsskolan in Stockholm.
RISK(U), Room and Initiative for Artistic Development Work, is a platform that make space for artistic research, providing time for deepened artistic work. We welcome collaborations in need of an open, not yet defined, space in order to be formulated. It is about establishing a concentrated time-space for a specific project. With RISK(U) the Malongen studio space is for artistic dialogue, in art and through art.
RISK(U) operates with support from Kulturrådet, The Swedish Arts Council.
