Edvard Heinmets " Åt dem som vandrar" 2023

June 6th, Indio Hornstull Strand 3, 15-16:00

“Åt dem som vandrar” är en poetisk tillbakablick till en tid av stark gemenskap och sökande. I den svenska sommarnattens sista timmar följer vi ungdomar på olika platser över landet. Ett collage av planlöst kringströvande, adrenalinkickar och väntan. En känsla av både ett slut och en början.

Defib Art were happy to be invited to Bibliotek-as and present the artist Ingrid Gustafsson´s pop-up show My Childish Heart.

My Childish Heart
For me, working with my hands is doing by both need and desire. It’s a distraction from intrusive thoughts and a fascination for the work growing in front of me. I repeat methods, motifs and patterns were my knitted and carved objects comments time, warmth, longing and absence. The past years I’ve been working around the theme of shroud garments, clothes that a person is buried in. I often think of my works as a continuation of a relationship that has ended because death came inbetween. Creating becomes a way of extending the relationship to those I have lost, a way of trying to say goodbye.
The love and questions gets converted into something practical, as a comfort or lullaby.
- Ingrid Gustafsson

Pop up show #3

The third event of Defib Art contained the installation named Transpasser by artist Jonas Gazell. Transpasser was a temporary installation along the roadside of Huddingevägen in Stockholm that was on display from early dusk until nighttime at Kräpplavägen 13. The installation was visible at a distance of 125 meters under the illumination of vehicle headlights and was experienced by car, bicycle or on foot. Transpassers uses time and space for the benefit of the materialistic properties of the artwork.

Jonas Gazell was born in 1979 in Stockholm and now live and work in Östra Ämtervik. During his adolescene, he frequently walked along the highway between Rågsved and Huddinge, then a relatively unexploited and unremarkable stretch surronded by noise barriers that obscured the horizon. With Defib Art as a platform, a part of Huddingevägen will now serve as an exhibition space.

The second event of Defib Art contained the performance Shout out Church by Anna Johansson, Stockholm-based artist. She performed a march and called out various Google searches ranging from the private to the existential in Ekotemplet, Hagaparken a popular excursion destination for both city dwellers and tourists. During the 18th century, Gustav the Third built the Ekotemplet as he loved to eat outdoors. Nowadays, the temple is a popular attraction for tourists and weddings. Anna Johansson chose Ekotemplet for its unique acoustics that enhanced her performance.

The premiere event of Defib Art, First Apparition by Daniel Torarp contained the first occurrence of the artist’s sculpture ARRIVAL II. Appearing with its imaginal limbs, suggesting transposition in a space particularly dependent on immobility. First Apparition enhanced the artwork’s linkage to the formerly unacknowledged surrounding. Daniel Torarp has for a long time noticed this space of his neighbourhood in Stockholm. A cubical shelter of an apartment block’s house foundation at Lillåvägen 30 in Bagarmossen. Peculiar with an undefined regular use, it hosted mentioned sculpture during one afternoon of February. An unexpected visit in an architecturally unsurmised void. Splendid for an art defibrillator’s first strike.
