2.5 — 14.5 2023





The exhibition CURRENTS relates to the French revolutionary Louis Auguste Blanqui and the period that he was imprisoned at Fort du Taureau in Bretagne. In 1871, at the same time as the barricades were built on the streets of Paris during the Paris Commune, Blanqui were in his prison cell writing the book L’éternité par les astres (Eternity by the Stars). An astronomical hypothesis on the copy written through the language of photography, dominated by the possibility of reproduction and recurrence, where words like copy, stereotype and cliché shapes Blanqui's cosmos. Through his political conviction and his critique of a possible progressive movement, he saw a world where everything is repeating eternally. A cosmic drama without beginning and end, where it is only the fortunate bifurcation that can make us move forward. At the same time, in Paris, the communards staged the revolution in front of the camera, through the technological medium that many citizens met for the first time. Tempted to create the image of the successful revolution, they saw new possibilities in the camera's way of capturing time, a will that eventually led to unforeseen consequences. 

CURRENTS takes a special interest in how Blanqui saw the potential in the copy and the photographic image's ability to both capture and release.  



Joel Danielsson and Louise Öhman take a special interest in the ontology of the image, through its haunting qualities and the transforming, animating or petrifying movements it may perform. Through a constant revision of the structure within the image, its own materiality and its technology of representation. They use archived and found material bound together by a method of association, in a network of image and text that constantly negotiates their own relations and questions their own narratives. A re-appearing element has been the human will to disrupt the progression of time and the endeavor to restore its previous positions, through the material traces that can be seen after iconoclastic actions and historical events. 

Joel Danielsson (1988, SE) and Louise Öhman (1989, SE) have worked together since 2014. They are based in Stockholm, Sweden. They received their BA in Fine Art at The Art Academy of Bergen, Norway, in 2017, and their MA in Fine Art at Umeå Academy of Fine Art, Sweden, in 2021.
