Bildmuseet Summer 2013 Exhibitions

Felice Varini: Nine Arcs Dancing
May 20, 2013–January 5, 2014

Felice Varini has attracted international attention with his paintings in public spaces, including France, Japan, UK and USA. Now he is presented for the first time in Sweden. For Bildmuseet the artist has created Nine Arcs Dancing, a site-specific work on the entrance floor of the museum building. It consists of nine red arcs, each of which is based on and ties together points in the architecture. The work emphasises the movement, the activity, the variability and the variation of the light in the room.

Jacob Hashimoto: Superabundant Atmosphere
June 2–October 13, 2013

Bildmuseet presents Superabundant Atmosphere, an installation by Jacob Hashimoto consisting of thousands of ellipses of bamboo and silk hanging from the ceiling on the museum’s top floor. The installation fills the entire exhibition hall and creates a cloud-like formation that appears to permeate through the ceiling. Parts of the work Infinite Expanse of Sky, constructed of rectangular paper kites with a sky blue and white cloud print, are visible from the outside, through the museum’s large windows.
