"The coincidence of the changing of circumstances and of human activity or self-changing can be conceived and rationally understood only as revolutionary practice. […] All social life is essentially practical. All mysteries which lead theory to mysticism find their rational solution in human practice and in the comprehension of this practice."

Works And Days, 2018
Calendar for Country Music constructed around thoughts on measured units of time, work and structural organization. The traditional calendar grid is broken up to consider a more subjective organization of time and days. The title, Works And Days, is taken from Hesiod’s Farmers Almanac from 700 BCE with the same name.

"The question is: how to destroy a reality? Destroy is a verb with an objective, meaning to put an end to the existence of something by damaging or attacking it: The room had been destroyed by fire. To ruin someone; to defeat someone utterly."

A Blast Furnace, 2017
Artist’s book documenting and reproducing my solo exhibition ‘A Blast Furnace’ in a public arcade in central Prague in 2017. The book reflect the multi-medium, panoramic structure of the exhibition and reconstructs the main panorama through interlaced loose sheets of paper, mixing the original view with a system of new unexpected material meetings. The materials chosen mimic and translate the materials in the exhibition and its emphasis on layering and smelting into two-dimensional form. Made with Wei Huang.

A Blast Furnace, 2017
Detail view. Vinyl sticker, painted wood, pvc printed globes. Curated by Christina Gigliotti. Galerie Ferdinanda Baumanna, Prague
The exhibition explores the ubiquitous
quality of iron through its movement, currents, and magnetic power. The raw
destructive forces of this element are paralleled within the exhibition to the
subject of the Strange-girl – born out of the ore, unpredictable and unknown,
escaping capitalism’s ‘status quo’ and paving the way for new possibilities. In this context, the Strange-girl is imagined as a direct opposite and even willing adversary to Tiqqun’s idea of the “Young-girl” who is submissive, normal, likeable. The magnetic pole reversal spread across the gallery vitrines demonstrates the raw energy and chaos that ensues once set systems are disturbed.

There is iron in my blood. There is iron in my blood, and yours, and at the center of the earth. It surges through my veins. Iron at the earth’s core is as hot as the surface of the sun. I harness this heat and when we touch you disintegrate.

The earliest signs of iron making dates back to 400 BC while industrial scale activities dates back to the 17th century. Most mines are now closed.
The blast furnace plant at Lapphyttan, probably originates from 11 - 1200's (currently under reconstruction elsewhere), shows the beginning of the mining community that grew up in Bergslagen. In the Middle Ages, Norberg was a marketplace where mountain men in the surrounding districts gathered.
In the 1970s, raw molten iron was transported by rail from the blast furnaces at Spännarhyttan to the steelworks at Surahammar. Spännarhyttans blast furnace was shut down for good in 1981.
