DARK MATTER ILLUMINATIONS, studio44 2025

 
Opening the 17th of January 2025, at5 – 10 pm.
The exhibition consists of three solo exhibitions and is a thematic cowork between the artists Jannike Brantås, Masoud Shahsavari and Penja Hesselbäck and a continuation on a previous project with the title Fifth Force of Nature that artistically interpreted a theoretical ly observed fifth force of nature besides the previously four known forces. In Dark Matter Illuminations our aim is to once more in the borderland between art and science explore another of physics unsolved questions, the one on the existence of dark matter. There are indications that this existence is the case but since the dark matter is not to be observed directly it is unknown of what it consists. This exhibition, as in an earlier version presented at Uppsala Art Club aims at interpreting existential issues and also to contribute to a more developed knowledge of the unknown.
Opening ceremony with short presentation the 17th of January at 6 pm.
Artist talk Saturday the 25th at 2 pm
Ending the 9th of February at 2 pm – Not One Way To Tell About It, performance by Jannike Brantås

"En vana som kanppt känns"
En resa in i ett rörigt landskap. Ett tåg och en eventuellt tillförlitlig röst söker reda ut begreppen. Så handlar din existens om att i grunden kunna reda ut bland ovanor, vanor, oberoenden, beroenden och rutiner? Är jag oberoende med några ovanor eller beroende med massa vanor, bland alla beroendeskapande rutiner? Eller vad?
Rösten följer med dej ett bra tag men så tystnar den när berget är som närmast..

A habit hardly felt
A journey into a messy landscape. A train and a possibly reliable voice tries to sort it out. So, is your actual existence all about sorting out among vicious habits, independencies, dependences and routines?
Am I independent with a few vicious habits or dependent with a lot of habits in the midst of all addictive routines? Or what?
The voice accompanies you for a while and then silences when the rocks are at their closest.
