WHAT ARE YOU WORKING ON?”
5 - 20 September 2014
What are you working on? / Vad har du på gång? a popular phrase at an art-opening. What are you working on? Where ones individual answers is the definition of one’s self-justification. I act, produce and think therefore I am. The WAYWO project is a self-fulfilling travel through the contemporary art process. I define what I do therefore I am.
The artists Ulrika Sparre and Hanna Ljungh initiated the project Vad har du på gång? / WAYWO in 2012 through a common search. We want to discuss cultural practices and examine how time is valued in our time, in particular how the expectation of renewal pervades society and the art world.
At lokal_30 WAYWO are conducting the performance ”What are you working on?” where we want to highlight the potential problem; how the contemporary mindset affects our outlook and expectations of our own and others’ artistic practices as well as our perception of art as product, production or process.
The exhibition includes a series of modified works by WAYWO such as the hourglass Seize the day presented in 2013 at Husby Konsthall, Stockholm. At the opening of the exhibition WAYWO will also launch a brand new publication edited by Jacquelin Davis including texts from various international writers, artists and theorists all discussing the concept of the new, time and our time.
