Tellusgången 16
The exhibition uses two different locations as starting points. First, Areni-1 is a cave system in Armenia where the oldest site for organised wine making has been found, dating back 6100 years. Secondly, Siljansringen is a formation of lakes located in Dalarna, Sweden, formed by a meteorite impacting approximately 380 million years ago. Together, the sites create a speculative timeline consisting of mysticism, microorganisms and locality from which the installation has taken form.
A social and communal aspect is core to the exhibition, utilising forty bottles of home made fruit and flower wine to connect the guests with the sculptures. Using hosting as a performative action, a costume is worn by the artist throughout the duration of the exhibition. The two piece garment dyed work suit brings together references from Dalarna folk dress and workwear alongside intuitive technical inquiry, and was designed and made by Karin Tokunaga.
