The Industrial Religion, images & press

Golden calf, 2010
Jute string, wire
16 x 22 x 10 cm
Installation view & detail


This slightly physically disabled (/cyborg) calf has been equipped with a wire wheel and is otherwise crocheted using jute, "the Golden Fibre". The Golden Calf is commonly understood as a symbol of idolization, or as a critique of the pursuit of wealth. The hebrew word for calf can (according to a currently unconfirmed source) also mean circle.

Media coverage / reviews (in Swedish)

"Religiös kitsch är temat - Galleri J inviger sin påskutställning idag
En temautställning om religiös kitsch startar i dag på Galleri J i Falkenberg. 14 konstnärer från när och fjärran finns med i 'Den industriella religionen – den religiösa evolutionen'. Ordet kitsch är ett låneord från tyska eller jiddisch och syftar vanligen på konst, hantverk och litteratur som är producerad på ett billigt sätt och utan konstnärligt engagemang. Men som samtidigt kopierar och gärna överdriver former från dyrare verk..."

Alfa beta tetra, images

Alfa beta tetra, 2009
Mixed media and sound
Dimensions variable
Installation views & details

"Det är inte kunskap vi saknar. Vad som fattas oss är modet att inse vad vi vet och dra slutsatserna." - Sven Lindqvist
('We don't lack knowledge. What we lack is the courage to realise what we know and draw the conclusions')

Instead of using an 'idea' as starting-point, this work derives from the colours gold, orange and green and the architecturally varied space of the gallery. Some parts were finalised on site as they depend on fixed features found in the premises.

Media coverage / reviews of the exhibition (in Swedish):

"Måleri präglar Dalakonst 08
Årets höstsalong innehåller mycket måleri men påfallande lite grafik och ett fåtal objekt och skulpturer. Owe Carlssons uppkäftiga datavirus bråkar på golvet, och Ingrid Viklunds luvlika jättehydda har landat i ett hörn och en Ho-huva vilar på Moa Lindhs inklädda diskbänk..."

"Bättre bredd i årets Höstsalong
Årets upplaga av Höstsalongen är flera klasser bättre än i fjol. I år lämnade 134 konstnärer in till Höstsalongen. 58 konstnärer och 129 verk blev antagna av årets kommissarie Svante Rydberg. Han har valt att satsa på bredd och tydlighet..."

"Amatörer och proffs sida vid sida
Svante Rydberg är kommissarie för årets utställning. Han har också varit enväldig jury i arbetet med att utse vilka konstnärer som ska få vara med och vilka som får försöka igen nästa år. - På ett sätt är det enklare att vara ensam än att vara flera. Men det är inte okomplicerat. Det är över 500 verk man ska titta på, säger Svante Rydberg om sitt juryuppdrag..."
