Jordana Loeb’s first solo exhibition in the gallery’s new location at Hudiksvallsgatan 6, "Wooden Feedback" (2022), is a multidisciplinary installation that explores her body’s movements with wooden carvings, sound art, printmaking, and video. Utilizing the physicality of natural fibrous material, Loeb creates wood and stone carvings, sonic resonators, and relief prints to reflect on the transmutation of natural materials and the body.

Hollow dome sculptures lay the landscape for interaction. Found logs are transformed into stretching limbs. Thin sheets of wood become feedback resonators performed and modulated by the body. The exhibition space reveals a field of isolated wooden sculptures that communicate as a collective organism. Her carved log series resembles skeletal structures suspending outwards from Theraband latex straps to form actions of pulling, stretching and balancing. Smooth wooden formations protrude from the ground inviting physical interaction between artist and object. Resonating feedback emerges sporadically from hanging metal plates and large wooden carvings, turning sculptures into speaker membranes.

In her relief-print series, bodily actions are printed and then carved, creating gestures of rolling, dragging, and pushing. The process of carving around the imprinted form lifts the body out of wood and onto paper. These simple motions are performed to correlate the print with the anatomy and action. The relief and screen printing process is not merely a recording document but also aims to inform the movement itself.

Loeb’s background in ballet, modern dance, and the somatic method “Klein technique”, has led to a movement-inspired practice that studies bodily alignment through working with muscles of deep postural support. This fascination crosses between her printmaking, sculptural and sonic works to investigate the synergy and consequence of movement.

Jordana Loeb (b. 1987) is an American artist residing and working in Stockholm since 2012. She holds a BFA with a focus on printmaking from Syracuse University, College of Visual and Performing Arts in New York.

MUSICIANS
Linnéa Talp is a Stockholm-based composer and musician. Her compositions seek to examine the physical experience of breathing, aiming to expand bodily movement into sounding. Her practice centers around presence and focused listening, in which she creates minimalistic yet rich sonic weaves, with the organ as its foundation. Her upcoming album Arch of Motion, consists of eight pieces for pipe organ, with subtle elements of instruments, bass clarinet, voice, and flute. The album features guests Mariam Wallentin, Christer Bothén and Martin Küchen, released under the label Thanatosis. Linnéa has been performing at Sound of Stockholm, Orionteatern, and Ställbergs Gruva to name a few, as well as an ongoing collaboration with the artist Jordana Loeb.

Sonja Tofik creates intimate and melancholic experimental music. Her distorted and slowly lulling synth loops are paired with folk-inspired vocal melodies and field recorded samples. Tofik’s work focuses on superimposed repetitive structures of analog and digital synthesis, drones, sampled textures, and voice. She draws inspiration through models of human nature and society, and concepts of spirituality in modern civilizations.

Theodor Kentros is often accused of “rushing through the process” by using a lo-fi aesthetic, or in this case seven speakers, to free himself from having to answer to accusations about his lack of mixing ability. However, this is not a cop-out; it is rather a product of his heavy influence from sampling culture. Ranging from ragged soundscapes produced on the sp-404sx sampler to, for lack of a better word, “minimal” pieces made up solely by sine wave oscillators his music has been compared to what Tim Hecker would sound like if he were deaf, a comparison not necessarily far from the truth. Abruptly shifting between shorter rhythmical tracks and longer drone works it is however easy to assume that Kentros is indeed just faking his way through it all, and the saying take the money and run might finally have found its new poster boy, since DB Cooper is probably not with us anymore.

Anders af Klintberg is a Stockholm-based musician, producer, and film composer. With over a decade of recording and producing in the Stockholm scene, af Klintberg has established his distinct sonic touch through a multitude of live and recording projects, most notably Joe Davolaz, Sverige, and Lovers. In recent years he has worked alongside renowned Swedish film composer Matti Bye for picture works and studio albums.
