Water reflections — Halland 2025
With art works created by both this year’s and previous years’ artists-in-residence Art Inside Out is part of the regional collaboration Water Reflections , which brings together Halland’s art and cultural institutions around the common exhibition theme of water.
Listener, Teckningsmuseet in Laholm 20 September – 11 January
In the exhibition Listener, which will take place at Teckningsmuseet in Laholm and presents works by Christine Ödlund, Anja & Tomas Örn as well as Pia Rönicke and Johan Tirén, water and the search for modes to listen to nature and ecology’s own voices are central themes.
Severed tongue – Isak Eldh and Thomas Laurien & Now my sails are burning – Henning Rehnström Ring, Kungsbacka konsthall 24 May – 17 August
Kungsbacka konsthall presents an exhibition with two works produced within Art Inside Out’s residency activities. The work Avskuren tunga moves through a blighted and neglected water landscape, Viskan’s estuary in Klosterfjorden, and recreates the memory of the place at the same time as an act of care. Henning Rehnström Ring’s film Now my sails are burning also touches on memory, sadness and loss. Based on a strange stone labyrinth on the Onsala peninsula, dramatic history is woven together with personal experience of trauma.
Performance Maj Horn and Sarah Blissett, Varberg 24 August
Maj Horn participates in Varberg konsthall’s exhibition Seaweed Stories with a work that is partly based on her participation in the residency Between the rain and the water network that she then established in Varberg. In August, Art Inside Out produces a seaweed performance that Maj Horn creates together with researcher Sarah Blissett.
Water reflections contain different directions and questions and highlight water as both a threat and a resource, stories of suggestive depths, cartoon charts, seaweed laboratories and posthumanist thoughts. The exhibitions are spread throughout the year and are tied together by a common program series.
Together, the participating institutions invite you to a multifaceted journey, where different artistic expressions broaden the perspectives of the intricate fabric we are connected with and connect ourselves through rings on the water.
