October 8 - November 15, 2009

Andréhn-Schiptjenko takes pleasure in presenting Anna Kleberg’s third solo-exhibition at the gallery, Back and Forth, an installation including photography, film and objects. The exhibition opens Thursday October 8, 5-8 pm and runs through November 15.

Using her studio space as a point of departure for Back and Forth, the exhibition reflects Kleberg’s interest in the shifting nature of the photographic medium as well as her thoughts on the creative process itself. The film and sequential photographs are based on a woman holding, balancing and being surrounded by boxes, paper and other material. Kleberg has, as manifested in her previous work, a longstanding interest for architecture. In Back and Forth the graphic elements shaped from the assembled boxes constructed in the work have replaced architectural forms. Together with the references to happenings and performance art and the first-time inclusion of a human figure, this new series is clearly a step towards a new approach to the creative process.

The exhibition consists of a series of black and white photographs, a looped film sequence and three-dimensional MDF objects based on double-exposed photographs.

In conjunction with the show a publication has been released, ANNA KLEBERG, BACK AND FORTH, 2009 with interview by Emelie Persson and design by Sandra Praun, Designstudio-S.

Work by Kleberg is currently on view among 12 other Swedish artists in the Paris metro on line 14 in a collaboration between the National Public Art Council Sweden and RATP. Beginning October 14th Kleberg’s work is presented for the first time in the UK at B-store. Her series Cavalos Bangalos will be on view at Operakällaren as from October 8. Anna Kleberg graduated from University College of Arts, Crafts and Design, Stockholm in 1998. Her work has been exhibited at Uppsala Art Museum, Kulturhuset Stockholm, Malmö Art Museum, Galerie Ilka Bree, Bordeaux, Sharjah International Biennial and is represented in numerous public and private collections in Europe and the US.
