Opening for (Centrum) at Galleri Format: Linnéa Cramer & Henrik Wejfeldt
Welcome to the first opening for the (Centrum) project, which brings together eight artists at four exhibition venues in Skåne. At Galleri Format, Linnéa Cramer and Henrik Wejfeldt are showing their work. At 6 PM, the exhibition will be inaugurated by project managers Peo Olsson and Linda Unnhem, who will hold a conversation with the artists.
Linnéa Cramer – The Suspected Lesbian
Linnéa Cramer is a photo and video artist with a bachelor’s degree in photography from HDK-Valand. Her latest work explores contemporary as well as personal issues of sexuality, body, and identity. With further studies in art history and queer theology, she is interested in the contemporary and queer perception of archival material.
The exhibition The Suspected Lesbian is based on pop culture’s portrayal of lesbian love. Through archival material and photography, Linnéa Cramer explores WLW and PDA (Women Loving Women and Public Display of Affection) as a political act, and the male gaze. How has the media influenced society’s view of sexuality, identity, and representation?
Henrik Wejfeldt – High above the ground, the concrete floats
Henrik Wejfeldt is an artist with a bachelor’s degree in artistic photography from HDK-Valand in Gothenburg. He now lives in Copenhagen, where he studies architecture at the Royal Academy. In his artistic work, Wejfeldt starts from photography and uses various analogue techniques and processes. His works often touch on themes related to architecture and the role architecture plays in the city’s and residents’ identity.
High above the ground, the concrete floats is a collection of Henrik Wejfeldt’s work on million-programme architecture in the suburbs of Malmö and Gothenburg. Wejfeldt plays with the deconstruction of modernist architecture when he uses a scalpel and glue to build new constructions from his images.
