In response to the aftermath of this year\u2019s European and national elections in Sweden, Malm\u00f6 Konsthall turns into a think tank. This will seek to raise debate in today\u2019s public sphere around hot subjects such as trans-cultural integration and fear as a fabricator of images. Enriched by the cosmopolitan fabric that makes up Malm\u00f6 as a city, Malm\u00f6 Konsthall will reflect on forward-thinking models of contemporary Western society, and give audiences the opportunity to take responsibility for the world as it is.<\/p>\n<p>The eclectic installation Animatograph \u2013 Iceland-Edition (House of Parliament\/House of Obsession) Destroy Thingvellir from 2005 by the late German theatre director, filmmaker and visual artist Christoph Schlingensief (1960-2010) forms the basis for an on-going staging of talks, screenings, concerts and seminars by emerging as well as renowned Swedish and international artists, writers, sociologists, art and theatre historians.<\/p>\n<p>The Animatograph is Schlingensief\u2019s first presentation in Sweden. It is a walkable artwork combining elements of the visual (sculptures, videos) and performing arts (live actions, spoken theatre, opera). As a universal and idiosyncratic representation of 21st century human nature, where one is faced by a deluge of images capturing volatile self-portraits, it is also a \u201csoul-writer\u201d recording the chaotic cosmos of everyday life.<\/p>\n<p>Taking inspiration from Schlingensief\u2019s experimental ideas, Malm\u00f6 Konsthall will implement a number of off-site events and educational workshops in various locations of Malm\u00f6. Running alongside \u2013 to activate but also overpaint one another \u2013 the think tank, the Animatograph and the off-site events will attempt to demonstrate how reality encompasses fiction; how every person is an active agent in creating the world we inhabit together.<\/p>\n<p>The Alien Within \u2013 A living laboratory of Western society is a project by Malm\u00f6 Konsthall in partnership with Goethe-Institut.<\/p>\n<p>The realisation of Schlingensief\u2019s Animatograph is in collaboration with Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary, Vienna.<br \/>\n<strong>DURATION: November 15, 2014 \u2013 March 1, 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>OPENING:<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Friday, November 14, 2014, 7 pm<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>OPENING HOURS: <\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Daily 11-17 Wednesdays 11-21 Closed: 24\/12, 25\/12, 31\/12<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>LOCATION: Malm\u00f6 Konsthall, S:t Johannesgatan 7, SE-205 80 Malm\u00f6, Sweden<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Free admission<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE ALIEN WITHIN \u2013 A living laboratory of Western society, 14.11 \u2013 1.3 2015, Malm\u00f6 Konsthall, Sweden<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3,5,9],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.schlingensief.com\/weblog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1733"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.schlingensief.com\/weblog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.schlingensief.com\/weblog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.schlingensief.com\/weblog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.schlingensief.com\/weblog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1733"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.schlingensief.com\/weblog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1733\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.schlingensief.com\/weblog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1733"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.schlingensief.com\/weblog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1733"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.schlingensief.com\/weblog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1733"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
