Galleri Rostrum, Malm\u00f6 <\/strong>August 30-September 21, 2025 Den heliga skriften\/The holy scripture<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00c5se Frid describes her work as connected to the holy work of medieval monks, illuminating holy scriptures. The concentration and the endless work creates a dreamlike state, and merges with the chance of color spread on the paper. Her work involves her own writings and poetry, qoutations from books or newspapers and surrealistic writings.<\/p>\n

She works with text-based watercolor and ink, film installations and poetry. Her work investigates relations between language, image, dream, humour and contemplation.<\/p>\n

The white of the paper is saved out inside the little marker-written letters, the warp of the painting, to which she relates in time and with watercolor around the text. This way of writing and painting started in Los Angeles in 1997 where she started making meticulously painted travel letters to the king of Sweden and to Iggy Pop. Recently she has been copying letters and writings from Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) and other artists and writers and made watercolors starting from the quotations. She has also made works that starts with \u201dfalse friends\u201d, a linguistic term for words from different languages that look the same but have different meanings, such as \u201dbarn\u201d; meaning child in Swedish, but something else in English. She encircles these words in repetitive painting.<\/p>\n

\u00c5se Frid works with text-based water color and ink on paper, and with film installations and readings of her own texts. With water-based media she investigates the relations between language, image, dream and contemplation, the understanding och non-understanding of human interrelational communication drama.<\/div>\n
The work is often guided by rules of the meticulous; the picture is slowly painted, like weaving, around the hollowed letters, who makes the \u201dwarp\u201d of the painting.<\/div>\n
The paper\u00b4s white, a watercolor principle of saving the unpainted areas in order to \u201dproduce white color\u201d, is saved when the color is filled inside and around the hollow letters. This slow work creates dreamy timebubbles of meditation and reflection.<\/div>\n
In her project Uncomplete dictionary, questions of linguistic and pictorial translation are central. An example is Swedish\/Foreign False Friends Glossary, a series of ink- and watercolor painting, decided by \u201dfalse friends\u201d, a linguistic term for words in different languages that look similar but mean different things; like \u201dbarn\u201d for a barn in English and meaning \u201dchild\u201d in Swedish; \u201dstock\u201d, meaning stock, stock market in English, and \u201dlog\u201d in Swedish, and \u201dlog\u201d in it\u00b4s turn meaning \u201dsmiled\u201d in Swedish…<\/div>\n
The paired words follow eachother in winding, circular forms, the emerging image creating new meanings, or perhaps non-meanings, like a shamanistic mantra where the words literally are circled.<\/div>\n
\u00c5se Frid is born 1969 in Uppsala. She took her MFA at Ume\u00e5 Academy of fine arts 2000, and has lived and worked in Malm\u00f6, LA and Sandviken, Sweden. She currently lives at R\u00e5dmans\u00f6. She is represented at the Nordic Watercolor Museum, at Public Art Agency Sweden, and in collections of regions and municipalities. She received a 1-year stipend from the Swedish Arts Grants Commitee a couple of years ago and a stipend from the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine arts last year.Solo exhibitions include Norrt\u00e4lje konsthall 2019, Vallentuna kulturhus 2019, Gallery 54 Gothenburg 2017, Wip Konsthall 2015.<\/div>\n

The exhibition on the museum\u2019s second floor presents gurative images depicting contemporary residents and historic people. We ask ourselves: What stories do these gures bear? Throughout time, narratives and tales have tried to teach us something about our world. We examine what a story really is \u2013 is it the people in it or something in the borderland between fact and fiction?<\/p>\n

\nThe name in the exhibition title, Larissa, as in Road to Larissa is both literally my middle name and the problem by Plato in Meno, how to find the way there. No one can teach us, it\u00b4s up to us to find it.
\nIt is also a chapter in a poetry collection by me and coincides with roads around small desolated villages in countryside Sweden, personal history, a lake called V\u00e4llen, cultural geography, political anxiety.
\nUtst\u00e4llningens titel sammanfaller med Platons text om v\u00e4gen till Larissa, med v\u00e4gen till byar runt V\u00e4llen i Alunda, Uppland, och med personlig historia, kulturgeografi och politisk \u00e5ngest och \u00e4r ocks\u00e5 ett kapitel i min diktsamling Fulltext exemplar.<\/p>\n
