HELLO
En porslinshund ligger vaken och lyssnar till ljudet av en fotbollsmatch som ekar i natten över Sevedsplan. Genom den dallrande heta luften kändes dagens intryck dova. Hade verkligen en björn lackat ur totalt över grillförbudet. Och vart hade ordningen tagit vägen när den ståtliga whippeten tjyvrökt av vad som måste varit husses cigg. De senaste veckorna hade allt tokigare syner blivit vardag och en tanke hade bitit fast i det ihåliga huvudet – om natten verkligen är dagens mor så måste jag dygna för att se modern till denna värmesörja!
Nattens skiftning skulle komma att susa förbi från ryggen av en örn - men det visste ju inte porslinshunden ännu.
Varmt välkomna på vernissage kl 18-21 fredag 10 maj.
We are delighted to invite you to our new group exhibition exploring the infinite, celebrated yet controversial art form of drag through three artists and drag performers. In the stillness of the gallery, stories about struggle and community arise as well as journeys of self, identity, transformation and family. A weaving together of three explorations, three perspectives and three artists - unveiling the person behind the persona, and the immense work, passion and dedication behind the performance.
When pondering how to make the most of our valuable time during our four years at REDAN, one idea has repeatedly surfaced—annoying in its simplicity yet endlessly joyful.
You could make a civilized argument for the cultural significance of dogs, saying that dog breeds carry imprints of human evolution. An example would be the fearless Basenjis, bred for lion hunting. As art imitates life, Basenjis also act as cover dogs for Ancient Egypt, made famous through hieroglyphs.
But we at REDAN have simply found our reason through numerous hours spent dog spotting and we finally got our priorities straight. Dogs are simply goofylicious and delightful - that's the argument and these are the artists:
Samuel Almansa
Marianne Andersson Embäck
Emanuel Bylund
Apadola Nelson

Emma Ståhl
Tin Åling

Standing in the middle of scattered words, images, signs and symbols you have to use yourself to activate the scene. EASY FORM HARD claims the entire gallery space at REDAN as a stage.
When you enter a space, you have to relate to what’s inside of it - do you receive the disparate impressions?
You are all very welcome to a sparkly opening night perceived as it is. Niels Munk Plum will present a performance during the evening. You are hereby invited. We look forward to seeing you.

Vad fan handlar detta om?
JO - affischer -VA!
Under sexio-, sjuttio- och åttiotalet var kulturarbetare på ständig kollisionskurs med lokalpolitiken och uttrycken för detta var oblyga, humoristiska och förmedlades ofta genom olaglig affischering. Lasse Hejll och Christel Hansson är två konstnärer som ägnade sig åt detta medium vid sidan om sitt konstnärskap. Vissa av affischerna berättar om då aktuella kulturevenemang, andra har en politiskt konfrontativ agenda - tillsammans bildar de en fragmentarisk mosaik över det kulturlandskap som föranlett dagens och morgondagens.
Your friend has one. Your partner loves them. Perhaps you hate them. Nevertheless - it’s all we’re asking for.
In this open call all breeds, materials and expressions are welcome.
We welcome you, artists who share our interest in these four-legged creatures.

REDAN DOG SHOW is sponsored by Swedish Arts Council and Malmö Municipality.
In the exhibition, memories from warm walks in Rome have been materialized. However, the impressions are neither taken from the Colosseum nor the Fontana di Trevi. Instead, inconspicuous objects with unsuspected sculptural qualities have been captured. A forgotten chair, a couple of peculiar wooden logs, some sandbags lying in a heap are among the 10 that have been captured with a digital camera and then given physical form. At Amiralsgatan 9, on December 9th, it's up to you to untangle knots of memory.
