Konstfack

Jimmy Robert, born 1975 in Guadeloupe (France), lives and works in Berlin. He works with diverse media including photography, collages, objects, art books, short films and performance art. In his explorations into the relationship between images and objects, Robert draws attention to the dynamics of different surfaces.

The exhibition shows a new work that explores the relations that Alkateeb have been reconstructing in their installations since 2012. This installation “Here ... Now” is one step in a changing relationship, one piece in a continuing series.

Erik Viklund's work is inspired by places and encounters with people and their destinies in these locations. Utilizing photography, he is interested in approaching the transient, but also how the transient is expressed in our lives in a purely physical way from one place to another; on a found piece of paper, a broken window or the torn down wallpaper in a house that has been deserted.

Frågor om klass, kön, ras, ålder och utseende, är ständigt närvarande i mina verk och här finns ofta ett ifrågasättande av en etablerad position eller roll. Jag förhåller mig ofta symboliskt och i mina skulpturer ligger fokus på fördelningen av massa i kroppar, menar Camilla Akraka.

In a turbulent world, where does the next generation of designers look for purpose? Do they dare to try alternative ways of problem solving and creation in order to reach sustainable paths forward? Actions, failures and explorations have all been embraced in this course, where students at Konstfack’s Industrial Design programme have been free to explore an inquiry of their choice.

In the exhibition Dis-played you meet objects that play with the possibilities of craftmanship, utility and expression. We invite you to a fantasy that is greater than the possibilities and that is displayed for everyone to take part in.

Join us in the hart of Stockhom and its Design Week!

In the old days it was important to keep the fire in your fireplace burning. As the main light and heating source, it was also how you kept the (evil) spirits from entering your home and bringing misfortune. The fire signalled human presence.

An amazing week is planned and many events are open to the public. Join in, have fun, spread the news and see you in the virtual realm!
