Rise And Shine Peter Johansson And a selection of artists from Kenneth Åström, director of Eskilstuna art museum gives a speech at 12.30. Open Wednesday-Sunday 12-16. In the exhibition RiseAndShine we present a group of artists with the joint that all have some sort of relation to us who runs Formverk (art zone) or to each other. We focus on the good cooperation between artists, as several of the exhibitors are working together on various projects. The well-known artist couple Peter Johansson/Barbro Westling show ”Place for thoughts”, not shown before in eastern Sweden. Elin Wikström will make Parkour 45+, an art action based on the youth movment in which people move around in the city in unusual ways. Seppo Renvall is a well-renowned video artist based in Helsinki, including nominated for the Carnegie Art Award 2010. Virgil Dejarv is active in the Gothenburg art-scene, and for RiseAndShine he makes ”The Golden Room”, a massive textile installation. Arni Gudmundsson and Cristian Rieloff have worked together for many years, and do works that often deals with masculinity and identity, and for the exhibition they produce a new photo named Lucky Guys. Signe Johannessen and Erik Rören are mainly sculptors, which together operate ART LAB Gnesta. Erik Rören makes a kind of sculptor-performance during the opening, and Signe Johannessen shows ”the finding Vita digitalis”, a presentation of a bigger up-coming exhibition at Botkyrka art hall. Stina Pehrsdotter works at the moment with a video and photo project which shall be shown at Jakarta Biennale #14 in December 2011, and she presents a photo from that project – Multiple Nature. Niclas Hallberg has during the summer worked in Serbia with the project Visibility and will show one of his works in a large format. NOVA is a new video network, which is aimed at professional video artists in the Nordic countries. As a starter it’s the organisations FixC, Finland, 700IS, Iceland and Formverk(art zone), Sweden, who choose video artists from from their countries to put up video works on the database. For RiseAndShine we present a selection of video works in a 45 minutes long programme. RiseAndShine is the last exhibition Formverk (art zone) arranges at Gredbyvägen 18 in Eskilstuna. We discontinue our exhibition space and instead put focus on artistic commissions and exhibitions abroad and in Sweden. The organisation Formverk (art zone) will still exist and from spring 2012 we will conduct operations based in Banatska Dubica in Serbia. |

The Dance of Medusa Alicia Felberbaum's The Dance of the Medusa is a compilation of random moments filmed spontaneously without participants being aware. Only after viewing the rushes, was the narrative created, by unravelling a story within the footage. By capturing someone in a particular situation, Felberbaum uses editing to enable her to entirely manipulate the context and create a new storyline. A new installation in a collection of works produced by the artist using this specific technique, The Dance of the Medusa is an assemblage of footage from two separate occasions at the same beach: two girls playing in the sea and two others playing with the waves. |

URMI, the inspiration, Shirish Beri, India Shirish Beri’s works, which tend to reflect his values and concerns in life have been bearing their distinct mark on modern Indian architecture since 1975. They strive to address his life concerns of man moving further away from nature, from his fellow human beings and from his own self. Through his work, Shirish Beri probes the multisensory and the immeasurable dimension of space while trying to evoke a reflective pause amidst today’s clutter and background noise. He feels that issues of sustainability can be aptly addressed only through the right attitudes and goals. His designs try to achieve an inherent sense of unity and harmony with various natural and man-made elements and forces. He has designed a number of campuses for national & regional level institutions for research, rehabilitation, health care and education, along with various other types of buildings. |

| ”I will build something big and beautyful” Andreas Eklöf August 20 – 22, 2010 During the summer of 2010 Andreas Eklöf started a design-project under The Swedish School of Textiles, University of Borås, where he is studying fashion / design. The purpose was that over a 10-week period explore and experiment around the area "Myself". Andreas had also some watchwords in mind during the work; opposites, tints of shape, balance/imbalance, illusion, deconstruction. The project was done in collaboration with nine artists and designers which during the year has acted as strong inspiration and creative source for Andreas. Thanks to: Charlotte Bakos, Meggi Sandell, Maria Hallberg, Johan Vesanen, Ann-Catrin Ingestad, Douglas Guterstam, Marit Cooper, Stina Pehrsdotter and Niclas Hallberg. |

| Digital Crossing No Borders November 28 - December 6 An artistic exchange-project for youngsters in Sweden, Serbia and Albania.In March 2009 Formverk (art zone) achived funding from Swedish Institute, under their programme Creative Force Western Balkans, for the project DigitalCrossing NoBorders. It's concernig artistic creativity in digital media. The collaboration has been realized between youngsters in Pozarevac, Serbia, Tirana, Albania and Eskilstina, Sweden. By showing similarities and differencies in the conditions for young people living in these three regions, we raise the understanding of the importance of diversity and gender equalitiy in the work to build a democratic community. Digital media - photo and video - offers a democratic and open way of working.In the project Formverk (art zone) has realized several workshops. We started gathering youngsters in Eskilstuna, and they shot pictures from their neighborhood. This material we brought to Pozarevac, where we worked at the Cultural Center with serbian youngsters who used the swedish photos as a starting point, they shot new pics from their environment, and manipulated and made montages out of it. Also a videopiece was produced, in a similar way. In September we made a equivalent workshop for the youngsters in Eskilstuna, when they continued working on the photos and made new ones by melting pictures together. All the material we took to Tirana in October and Albanian youngsters worked on in the same way as earlier, and we presented the result in an exhibition directelly after the workshop. Now it's time to present the result for the audience in Eskilstuna! The exhibition shows all the produced material, several digital photos and two videoworks, made together by the young people participating in the project. The 16th of December the last exhibition will be presented at the Cultural Center in Pozarevac. |

| Pictures of Nothing, Michael Chang August 29 - September 26 Michael Chang works in the tradition of abstract expressionism, minimal art and color field painting, but he refers to the images he creates as being very real opposed to abstract. Michael Chang finds his motif in the space that occurs when something is deleted, rejected or slightly altered. ”One of the ideas represented in these images, is a quiet presence, which we can try to acknowledge and get familiar with.” Michael Chang explains. Michael Chang uses traditional materials in his investigation of the space occupied by the mundane. He is a painter, printmaker and new media artist. Michael Chang is based in Copenhagen. He is affiliated with CDS Art & Visibility, Gallery of Contemporary Art located in Bredgade, Copenhagen. Pictures of Nothing is created especially for Formverk(art zone). The exhibition includes prints created at Crown Point Press in San Francisco, and also paintings, drawings, aquatints, photographs, video and something the artist refers to as alterations. www.michaelchang.dk/ |

| Exquisite Corpse Video Project and Vitruvian Woman March 14 – April 19 Exquisite Corpse Video Project and Vitruvian Woman are two international video collaborations, involving over 40 artists from all parts of the world. The exhibition, initiated by the instigators Kika Nicolela, Brazil and Michael Chang, Denmark, opens on Saturday March 14 at 18.00 pm and participating ECVP artists from England, Norway, Denmark and Sweden will also be attending the opening. With these art video projects the artists are forging a new kind of collective consciousness, a sharing and shaping of ideas through both sound and vision. As pioneers of new communications technology, these artists are often called upon to use a second language to communicate with each other and to overcome the diversity of different cultures. Their attempts to work cooperatively have strengthened their respect for each other as artists, as global citizens and as representatives of a new way of connecting people from all corners of our planet.more >> |

| Warming, October 25 - November 23 An exchange project between artists from Serbia and Sweden. Art workshop 17-24 oct, exhibition 25 oct-23 nov Participating artists: Nina Todorovic, Zoran Todovic, Anica Vucetic, Isidora Ficovic, Vera Stevanovic, Predrag Terzic and Daniel Loncar. Project Warming is meant to be the beginning of the process of collaboration between visual artists from Serbia and Sweden. The artists of different background and different poetics gathered together on this starting point, with the idea of putting back together the former cultural models. Warming is a key word, it is essential and very comprehensive as a phenomenon, which is clear in both countries, Sweden and Serbia. This way we want to warm up the wish of the other for freeing, accepting the happenings, and for possibility of new encounter between the image and the thought. Simply, to confirm oneself, to affirm, to become, to get closer |
