Exhibition alongside artist Value Export. Films 'Crystal Aquarium' (1995) and 'The Whirlpool' (1997) installed in Kristinehamn Art Museum as part of the 14th edition of AVANT Film festival, with its focus on bodies and boundaries. Artist talks with VALIE EXPORT (with Alba Baeza) and Jayne Parker (with John Sundholm) September 8th 2017. "The body is both our most private territory and a social interface, a boundary that both divides and unites. The point of departure of AVANT is in one of the most legendary artists when it comes to the socio-political dimensions of the body, VALIE EXPORT, followed by Jayne Parker's early performance-based films. The theme of the body and its boundaries, as social body and embodiment of inner states and feelings, is followed up by focusing on external mechanisms of making boundaries; fences, border controls and the politics of immigration. The theme is introduced through the premiere of Gunvor Nelson's latest film, ON THE FENCE, and concludes with a program by artist duo Minna Rainio and Mark Roberts. AVANT begins on Friday evening at Kristinehamn Art Museum with artist talks by VALIE EXPORT and Jayne Parker.'
