Janine Antoni at Stockholm University
October 30–November 10, 2018
To manifest the relationship between Magasin III and the future exhibition space Accelerator, two works by Janine Antoni from Magasin III’s collection were installed, both on the university campus and at Magasin III in Frihamnen. Moor was presented in the Aula Magna gallery, while the video work Touch was projected at what is now the entrance to Accelerator.
The work Moor is a rope filled with memories and stories—objects donated by Antoni’s friends and family, which the artist then braided together. It is an artwork in constant change, as the rope is extended each time it is exhibited. For the installation at Stockholm University, the artist invited researchers from the university, as well as staff from Magasin III and Accelerator, to donate an object to the work. The objects were sent to Antoni’s studio in New York, where a new segment was created. This new segment was shown as part of the presentation Turning Time at Magasin III. On November 28, 2018, the two parts were joined together at Magasin III.
