Shadow Hop

Shadow Hop. The frog, historically a symbol of fertility because of it’s ease of reproducing itself, appears to hop around the center of the wheel. The nature of our perception is to anticipate or expect what is familiar – the gap or lapse of sensory information, a ”shadow” between glimpses in the linear progression, creates a sense of continuity.

Since 1985 Russel Busch has been an independent contractor and consultant for artists and designers

“All parts of the psyche carry shadows, and the Self, as the brightest of all the archetypes carries the darkest shadow of all– one that may or may not be reflected in mirrors.”

Partly Cloudy Structures

Partly Cloudy Structures.  A spider-like creature takes up her residency simultaneously online and in the mill. Constantly tracking Lövestad’s local weather forecast she changes her activities…

Ursula Endlicher‘s work resides on the intersection of Internet, performance and multi-media installation. In her practice she bridges the Web and physical reality.

The United States, 2006

The United States, 2006. A top view blueprint drawing of the US Bush Administration, taken from a news photograph, maps out and analyzes the essence of scene. Within the duration of the 4 week exhibit, the blueprint drawing, exposed to direct sunlight will begin to fade away.

Reveal

Reveal is an art/product made in Brooklyn NY. The series creates the impression of sunlight streaming through a window and onto an interior wall. A light breeze appears to move through trees in the cast image.

Swung Into Blue

Swung Into Blue The viewer lies on a cot (portable bed) at the base of a narrow wooden silo. A speaker hangs from a long cable and is set into a swinging motion as an atmospheric sound score passes back and forth just over the viewers body in the space hovering above.

Elaine Buckholtz’s work explores the medium of light as both an ephemeral phenomenon and as an intervention to unmask hidden aspects of architectural forms and landscapes. She is interested in poetic renderings that infuse space with image and light.

Floor Vahn’s sound installations traverse new media, engage with composition, gesture to sound/image mappings, synthesis techniques and collaborative improvisation.

The sound is at once luring then disquieting. There is a dim blue light cast in the wooden room and against the far wall a perforated disc of clean white light is spinning in a lulling motion producing a calming effect along the walls of the silo. As the speaker comes to a slowing halt, the next viewer enters the space and lies down to experience the audio-visual score.

The servants of light

The servants of light. Rainbow glimmer, the play of shadows and other reflections may appear on the window at the mill. The piece consists of glass and plastic, in stillness and motion.

Pamela Karlsson is an artist at the intersection of art, craft and design. She often works in glass.

all that bright morning scattered

all that bright morning scattered will consist of three layers: A back layer of a painting of three female figures on acetate, a front layer of a line drawing on mylar and, in between, a layer of fine blond hair. This will fit within the frame of the window and will be backlit by the almighty sun.

Angela Fraleigh is an artist who is lately trying to ask more questions than give answers.

Wes Heiss has worked as a farm hand, an auto body technician, a custom guitar builder, a freelance computer animator, a video editor and an architect.

‘I really like the notion that this piece is trying to get away from you and defies your attempt to see it clearly. One can only be present while it slowly and sweetly slips back into the blackness.’

Dust Drawings

Dust Drawings

Jan Bäcklund, b. 1966, Västerås, 30 km south of Sala. Bureaugrapher.

“I can’t say very much about the works, apart from them being drawings. They could have any title. Drawings would be fine. They will probably get their own titles when they are made. They will be about dust/shadows.”

Tid + rörelse + ljus + stereoskopi = fyra dimensioner

Tid + rörelse + ljus + stereoskopi = fyra dimensioner
(Time + motion + light + stereoscopy = four dimensions)

The equation supports the phenomenon that can provide a flat shadow in three dimensions, thereby giving us glimpses of the fourth dimension.

David Kranz. Since 1987 I have researched and worked with the stereoscopic image.

Duchamp’s “Large Glass” is based, among many other things on a philosophical concept that goes back to Plato. Jouffrets theory explained metaphorically through shadows: In our three-dimensional world a shadow is two dimensional, so a shadow thrown by a figure from a four-dimensional world would be three dimensional in our world. “Everything that has a three-dimensional shape is a projection of our world from a four-dimensional world, and my bride, for example, is a three-dimensional projection of a four-dimensional bride. Okay. Since it’s in glass it’s flat, because my bride is a two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional Bride, which also is a four-dimensional projection of the bride’s three-dimensional world. ”
Marcel Duchamp

Marks of Damascus

Marks of Damascus The work consists of twelve round solar-glass mirrors from 10-120 cm. Nine of the mirrors have holes and all the mirrors are printed with symbols in different colors. There will be lights on the mirrors so that both light and shadow reflects into the mill.

Katja Kristensen Serber is an artist with a focus on both artwork and the interactive artistic process. She has exhibited in Denmark, Sweden, UAE and Syria.

Latitude Lamp

Latitude Lamp, a solar lamp made for 41 degrees latitude, can be configured in three variations with the solar panel facing south, its LED lights pointing in a range of directions at night and its multi-facetted surfaces changing with the sunlight throughout the day. By tilting the angle of the solar panel, the lamp can be adapted to any geographic location, assembled in various ways into screens, or blown up to inhabitable scale.

Nina Edwards Anker is an architect/designer living and working between New York City and Oslo. She is currently investigating light and perception in solar design for her PhD Research by Design project at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design.

Uplook

Uplook is a timed-based performance piece that upends the space and allows participants a studied and meditative view of the ceiling of The Kulturmollan. Using sound, light and a fractured narrative, the viewers are transported through the space on a reclined platform, with Benney serving as an absurdist tour guide.

Paul Benney is a performance artist who likes to move people.

1-2-3 Shadowplay!

1-2-3 Shadowplay! India ink, charcoal, chalk, water, paper, wall, street, car, country. Video and audio together or separately. There is always movement, sometimes a movie.

Three pieces in one:  A book (70x60x7 cm), two spatial performances and a sound piece.

Ingela Bohm‘s work includes drawing, printing, text and sound.

Today art contains variable content, which now always has a string of metadata about it.

Channeled Anxiety

Channeled Anxiety. Separation, vaguely about a channeled image and
anxiety. It looks calm but really its not.

Lourdes Sanchez is a textile print designer living in Gowanus, Brooklyn.

skuggteckningar

Skuggteckningar (Shadow-drawings) are flat ephemeral sculptures, a kind of “snapshot” of the past.

Robert Ek, b. 68, works with images, installations and machinisms.

RGBeam

RGBeam consists of red, green and blue plastic stretch-wrap stretched sequentially between the building’s beams.

Ben Colebrook lives with his wife and daughter in New York City and upstate New York, where he reflects on culture and nature by the simplest means necessary.

From our contemporary perspective, the Flour Mill, stripped of its original function, feels so distant from our nascent digital age. It represents a beautifully crafted effort, unpretentious solidity and physical human effort. The Flour Mill’s massive beams are here juxtaposed with low-tech attempt at creating video screen/projector light.

Rolls of red, green and blue stretch-wrap, an industrial packaging material, are deployed and layered to create a subtle shift in color and glassy reflective qualities. The deep shadows resulting from the thrifty paucity of windows amplify the plastic’s qualities, transforming the ordinary material into an ephemeral ‘beam of light’. The re-purposing of the industrial plastic is like an inexpensive emulation of digital video reproduction and as it fails in its realism, so the typical simulacra, remains authentic.

The Red Mill

The Red Mill is a light sculpture on the outside of the building, visible at twilight and dusk on the front side of the building the windows create a triangle of red light.

Elaine Buckholtz is an artist with a background in lighting design and light based installation. Her work explores the medium of light as both an ephemeral phenomenon and as an intervention to unmask hidden aspects of architectural forms found in urban settings and landscapes.

Spirit of the Beehive

Spirit of the Beehive “It’s that honeyish light and the stuffy wooden atmosphere of the building (I imagine), that I was beginning to see. There will be flies anyway no doubt.”

Luke Lowings has created a unique body of work that spans the boundaries of art, architecture and engineering with examples all over the world.

Wes Heiss is a visual artist and designer whose work explores humanities relationship with technology.

This is an old technology that, because it’s so simple, never gets old. A collection of different transparencies can be moved over the surface to create a short looping animation with a 3D quality to it. It requires being active and in the present to see them.

Light Studies

Light Studies plays with reflected, refracted, diffuse and specular light; placed near sun-filled windows, these elemental pieces have a complex presence that changes with both the angle of daylight and the position of the viewer.
