JENNY MAGNUSSON

without title

Jenny Magnusson works with sculpture and installations. The space and place are the determining factor for realization of work.  She works with everyday material and thing. Material that she borrows, steals and appropriates to the exhibition space. She is seeking a precise relation between objects, things, material and their position inside the space. Magnusson’s working material is pieces of sculptures more than parts of a specific history. The materials are never fixed to a certain sculpture, only in that specific place during that particular time. The consequence of this working order is that there are no existing and ready sculptures and work to be seen. Magnusson always builds her installations on site, with a strong relation to performance.

“– Only during the moment, in that place, when I decide that this is now a sculpture. A piece. The work emerges in that place. At that moment. In the situation. In an oscillating movement where work emerges and dissolves in new constellations.”

For Erratiker she will do an installation loosely and inspired by the allegory of Plato’s cave. She will take the formal notion of the word erratic and be unpredictable, scattered and wandering. Unpredictable in the sense of performance, where she with here sensibility regarding to the site and place performs her art. Scattered in here use of the leftovers from former artists projects inside the barn of Benoit and Susken, in here contribution to minimise artistic ecological footprint. She will wander and carry the material for her installation through the landscape, from the barn to the site for the exhibition Erratiker.
