Then a Moment Passed and All Was Changed.
28th April – 5th May 2018, Skogskyrkogården, Stockholm, Sweden
Then a Moment Passed and All Was Changed., is a collective exhibition located in the chapel of Resurrection (Uppståndelsekapellet), presenting works by Julia Adzuki & Patrick Dallard, Anthony Croizet and Joon-young Yoo. Finissage with a concert by the French clarinet quartet WATT.
A certain idea remains to sacred environments, one of communion and exchange between people, while today, distance, individuality and anonymity prevail.
In our frenetic contemporary days, time is a luxury, and idleness is necessary.
Stay still, be quiet, feel.
When Skogskyrkogården’s architects Sigurd Lewerentz and Gunnar Asplund designed the cemetery, they mainly cared for the experience of the visitors — the act of mourning and the feelings surrounding it. The chapel of Resurrection is a perfect example, the psychological dimension of funeral rites clearly characterises Lewerentz’ design: located at the end of the melancholic Seven Springs Way, with a porch slightly detached from the building volume, the chapel looks like a ship ready to unmoor.
In the same vein, Julia Adzuki & Patrick Dallard, Anthony Croizet and Joon-young Yoo understand and question the relation between place, instant and people. Revealing exchange, encounter and experience, their artistic conception embraces tenderness as a force of resynchronisation. With simplicity, almost laconically, their works seek to move away from hyper-technology and turn towards the immaterial.
Then a moment passed and all was changed is about slow-art and tries to answer to a lack of care and contemplation.
