<p><em>Trapped in Amber</em> er en del av <em>Afrika i <a href="http://www.danielandujar.org/tag/oslo/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Oslo">Oslo</a></em>, et utstillingsprosjekt initiert av Nasjonalmuseet for kunst, arkitektur og design og som inkluderer Oslo kunstforening, Kunstnernes Hus, IKM, Stenersenmuseet, KORO og UKS.</p>
<p>Utstillingen T<em>rapped in Amber: Angst for a Reenacted Decade </em>tar sitt utgangspunkt i et spesielt kapittel av Oslos kunsthistorie, Edvard Munchs representasjoner av eksistensiell angst. Utstillingen tester grensene for kulturindustriens stereotyper ved å skape en samtidig versjon av fenomenet <em>Fin de siècle </em>og den angstfokuserte kunstproduksjon fra forrige århundreskifte. Gjennom arbeidene i utstillingen vurderer <em>Trapped in Amber</em> angstens mulige post-kontinentale eksistens i dagens kunstneriske uttrykk. Spesielt interessant er måten angsten lever videre på og uttrykker seg i ulike verdener, innenfor den nye kulturelle og sosiale økonomien og ikke minst i forhold informasjonsteknologien.</p>
<p>De fleste fortellinger skrevet av symbolistene og ekspresjonistene i <em>Fin de siècle</em> kanonen viser at disse kunstnerne forsøkte å fange eller portrettere en form for universell angst, et grensesprengende skrik av følelsesmessig intensitet. Universialiteten den gang synes å ha manglet en kulturell fellesnevner og ble først og fremst definert i forhold til naturen, spiritualitet, seksualitet og i noen tilfeller ut fra en kreativ egotisme. Dersom <em>Fin de siècle</em> kunstnerne drev refleksjon rundt det som for dem var samtidens universelle angst, hva slags type bilder, kulturelle prosesser, kritiske perspektiver eller ikoner, om det finnes noen, kan representere dagens universelle angst? <em>Trapped in Amber</em> søker å bygge en kritisk og romlig kontekst, hvor de ulike verkene berører temaer eller problemstillinger hvor angst og/eller universalitet kan sies være sentrale størrelser.</p>
<p>Finanskrisen har vært et hardt slag for mange &#8211; En ny stor depresjon, men denne gang et avkom av en ekstrem deregulering. Finanskrisen fører også med seg en oppblomstring av politiske og sosiale ideologier som bare for noen år siden ble erklært døde. Det tiåret vi er inne i markerer også en forverring av interkulturelle forhold. Kanskje verden for øyeblikket har stoppet på gult lys ute av stand til å bevege seg sosiokulturelt eller politisk fremover, på tross av fantastiske teknologiske fremskritt. Kanskje er den kulturelle økonomien vi lever i fastnet i det arkaiske fordi våre ideologier er for gamle til å utvikle potente diskurser, og vårt post-ideologiske tankesett ikke er noe annet en vakker klump med rav som innkapsler et gammelt og uhåndgripelig problem. I lys av disse metaforene forsøker <em>Trapped in Amber</em> å bygge en bro mellom modernismens barndom, den gang Edvard Munchs kunst nådde sitt klimaks, og de sosiale, intellektuelle og politiske forholdene vi finner i første del av vårt århundre.</p>
<p>Denne brobyggingen tar først og fremst form gjennom en serie med utstillingsrekvisitter kollektivt skapt av de involverte kunstnerne, kuratorene og galleriets medarbeidere. <em>the Frieze of life </em>er et større veggarbeid som baserer seg på en samling visuelt materiale hentet fra nettet. Utgangspunktet var å skape en samtidig versjon av Munchs <em>Livsfrisen</em>, men også et slags skyggebilde av de store salongutstillingene på slutten av 1800-tallet. Et annet kollektivt prosjekt er en unik redesignet puffsofa. Sofaen er en replika av den som var plassert i Munchs Berlinutstilling i Equitable Palast (1892-1893), men i vår versjon er stoffet designet av <em>Trapped in Amber</em>s kunstnere.</p>
<p><em>Trapped in Amber</em> søker å skape en samtidig parallell til <em>Fin de siècle’s</em> kunstneriske uttrykk og refleksjon rundt samfunn og politikk. En slags relasjonell ligning som berører noen av de mulige forbindelsene og skillene mellom deres og vår tidsalder, og som kan stimulere til nye metoder, taktikker og diskusjoner. Men endelig, det er gjennom å muliggjøre dette rommet hvor fortid og nåtid er uatskillelige at en latent friksjon kan aktiveres og lyset bevege seg mot grønt.</div>

<p><span>I forbindelse med Kulturelt mangfoldsår 2008 i Norge gikk en gruppe museer og utstillingsinstitusjoner i Oslo for første gang sammen om å utvikle et ambisiøst utstillingsprosjekt som vil presentere noe av det aller beste fra afrikansk samtidskunst, med både etablerte og nye kunstnere. Afrika i Oslo ble startet av prosjektets kunstneriske leder Gavin Jantjes fra Nasjonalmuseet. I samarbeid med Marith Hope fra KKD ble prosjektet utviklet som et todelt forsknings- og utstillingsprosjekt for det kulturelle mangfoldsåret. Marith var prosjektleder fram til november 2008.<span id="more-520"></span></span></p>
<p><strong><span>Konsept</span></strong><strong></strong></p>
<p><span>Regionale presentasjonsutstillinger med afrikansk samtidskunst har kun blitt vist omtrent én gang hvert tiende år i Europa, noe som har ført til en mangelfull og kanskje feilaktig oppfatning av afrikansk kunstproduksjon. AiO ønsker å skape et jevnere og dypere engasjement for kunsten og kunstnerne fra det afrikanske kontinentet gjennom å utvikle nettverk og sette bidrag fra Afrikas kunstmiljø på dagsordenen. Hvis globalisering ikke bare skal være et økonomisk begrep, men også et ekte engasjement for verdens ulike kulturer, må vi skape nettverk som gjør oss i stand til å forstå samtidskunsten på en meningsfull og produktiv måte. </span></p>
<p><span>Fem utstillinger fra prosjektet Afrika i Oslo vises på seks utstillingssteder:</span></p>

<p><span id="more-509"></span></p>
<p><em>Trapped in Amber: Angst for a Reenacted Decade</em> is an exhibition that draws on <a href="http://www.danielandujar.org/tag/oslo/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Oslo">Oslo</a>’s art history, specifically the city’s tradition of northern European ‘Angst’ demonstrated in the oeuvres of such pivotal figures as Edvard Munch. The exhibition aims to test the limits of cultural industry stereotypes by creating a contemporary comparative to the phenomenon of <em>Fin de siècle</em> angst-ridden artistic production. Through the works of the invited artists, T<em>rapped in Amber </em>considers angst’s possible post-continental existence today in contemporary artistic formats. Of particular interest is the way angst can live on and express itself in a different world and age, experiencing different problems and in the midst of new cultural, socio-economic, and information dynamics.</p>
<p>Most narratives written by the cannon on the <em>Fin de siècle</em> symbolists and expressionists, point out that these artists aimed at capturing and portraying some sort of universal angst, a border-crossing scream of human emotional intensity; the metaphors are plentiful. Universality back then seems to have lacked a common cultural denominator, and to have been defined mostly in relation to nature, spirituality, and in some cases creative egotism. If the <em>Fin de siècle</em> artists reflected what was to them the ‘universal angst’ of their time, what kind of images, cultural processes, critical perspectives, or icons, if any, can reflect and be involved with a ‘universal angst’ in today’s world? How can one engage with terms such as “Universal” and “Angst” in a narrative of the here and now? <em>Trapped in Amber </em>aims to engineer a critical and spatial context where the works articulate different trajectories cutting through the main issues of angst and/or universality.</p>
<p>The global financial crisis is taking its toll on many, another ‘great depression’ but this time born of hyper-deregulation, the resurgence of political and social ideologies that were quite hastily labeled ‘dead’, and a decade marking the deterioration of the world’s intercultural relationships. Perhaps the world is currently trapped in an amber traffic light switched on by a past epoch, still not able to make substantial moves forward on the socio-cultural and political levels despite great technological advances. Perhaps, the cultural economy we function in is verging on the archaic because our ideologies are too old to develop potent discourses and our post-ideological frames of mind are nothing but the pretty and fresh looking amber resin that encases old and untouched problems.<br />
In light of these metaphorical realizations, <em>Trapped in Amber</em> seeks to traverse between the very early modernist years, in which the art of Edvard Munch reached its peak, and the social, intellectual, and political conditions in which art has existed during the first decade of the 21st century.</p>
<p>One of the ways this traversing takes effect is through the introduction of a series of collectively rendered exhibition props that were co-created by the participating artists, the curators, and UKS staff. Visible throughout the exhibition, ‘the frieze of life’ is a collective amalgam of imagery that was created by gathering images found on the World Wide Web. The participating artists contributed a number of images that were considered relative to the idea of a present day ‘Frieze of Life’; the images were then reconfigured into digital collages that reference the abundant hanging style of grand salon exhibitions. Elsewhere, visitors can take a seat on the specially redesigned circular pouf sofa, reminiscent of the sofa used in Munch’s Berlin solo show at the Equitable Palast (1892-1893), but with fabrics created by each of the exhibition’s artists.</p>
<p><em>Trapped in Amber</em> attempts to construct a contemporary parallel to the <em>Fin de siècle’s</em> output on art, the artist, society, and politics. This could be a relational equation that senses some of the possible links and separators between this and that era, or it could be a pseudo-parallel that stimulates schemas, tactics, and discussions. But ultimately, it is through setting up this spot where past and present are inseparable that latent frictions are activated.</div>
