Klara Lid茅n: Always Be Elsewhere
29 Jun, 2010 - 05 Sep, 2010
Klara Liden often uses architectural interventions, hijacked structures and materials, and the spaces behind something else to expose some of the constructs and conventions on which society is based. For her recent Elda f枚r kr氓korna (2008), she built up a series of makeshift walls from exiting materials within a gallery to create a new invisible space to house local pigeons. Not only did it provide useless 鈥渉eating for pigeons鈥� (as its Swedish title, a local saying, is literally translated), but it made a negative space of the commercial gallery accompanied by the occasional noise of the birds.
Her project for the Jeu de Paume, entitled Always be elsewhere (or Toujours 锚tre ailleurs), will be, as with most all of her projects, a site-specific intervention, including a new installation that both fills and, invariably, comments on the architecture of the institution. She will show it with a related new video with a sound track by the music group Tvillingarna, with whom the artist has worked on several previous collaborations. Here sound and space, flicking video images and structure combine to create a haunting new interior ambiance for the lower galleries of the Jeu de Paume.
