The "Pneumatisk Landskap" installation was especially
made for the higher end of the main exhibition space. The
architectural characteristics of the gallery space were used
as a starting point for an installation which changed the
space radically.
The free formed floating "landscape" slowly changing
its shape covered the whole space from wall to wall. It was
made of thin and very light white nylon fabric. Air pressure
generated by the fan inside the installation kept it in its
shape. A timer system cut the fan off at intervals during
which time it loosed some of its volume. When the fan started
again the installation slowly filled up to its full size and
shape.
At day time the installation was illuminated by natural light
coming from windows behind it. The windows were covered with
semi-transparent film to keep the background calm. The soft
light filtering trough the windows changed gradually during
the day. In the evenings the "landscape" was illuminated
by cool fluorescent light coming from underneath it.
Another new installation, "Mottagare", was dividing
the main room into two parts. The installation was made of
900 self-blinking white led-lights that formed a vertical
30x30 grid, sized 1,5 x 1,5 meters. The led-grid was mounted
between transparent acrylic plates hanging in center of the
space. The blinking sequence of each led differs slightly
from others and together they create a randomly blinking matrix
in which about 50% of the lights are on simultaneously. Human
eye perceives the simultaneously blinking lights as patterns
which constantly move across the matrix.
In the lower end of the main space were shown a series of
graphic prints. The prints, 1.2 x 1.2 in size each, The series
was studying the formation of moiré patterns in straight
lines and circle shapes.
In the project room of the gallery were on view for the first
time a series of photographs produced as part of our project
"Variations on a Theme" for "How to live together",
27th Sao Paulo Biennale in 2006. The images show brutalist
concrete structures, all variations on same architectural
theme, in their urban surroundings. link >>>http://www.gronlund-nisunen.com/2006_sao_paulo.php
