Ursula Mayer, Le Déjeuner en Fourrure /The Lunch in Fur, 2008
The first exhibition of the spring at Bonniers Konsthall is devoted to film. In the course of ten weeks, five works receive their Swedish premieres in the film programme Projections. The exhibition format enables the presentation of the wide range of moving images in today's contemporary art, spanning everything from a cinematic dream in eight minutes to an hour of a classic documentary. The common denominator of the works is the artists' conviction of culture's unique voice in society. In their films the artists make use of existing works – in music, film and visual art – in order to bring to the fore contemporary and historical events of both a political and an existential nature.
Running for two weeks each, the films are produced by internationally active artists whose works have not previously been exhibited in Sweden. In our programme of Wednesday evening artists' talks, the public will have the opportunity to meet the people behind the films.
