RESIDENCIES
Gideonsson/Londré - Performance residency
This years Performance Residency in Jokkmokk goes to the artistic duo Gideonsson/Londré from Kallrör, Sweden.
Their practice involves performances, installations and interventions that consist of highly regulated everyday activities, in relation to different experiences of time.
During their stay in Jokkmokk, Gideonsson/Londré will continue their work, focusing on how a specific site, a landscape and a shared history can gather in the body. They want to experience different places in Jokkmokk municipality, but also meeting people that can deepen their knowledge regarding managing and passing on history.

Olga Golos is a conceptual visual artist mainly focused on series of sculptures and installations often in reference to boundary and transition experiences, including the border of human-shaped and natural landscape.
She is interested in what constitutes personality - how a person can simultaneously be an individual and part of a collective. She is captivated by the notion that each individual encompasses a multitude of inuences, experiences, and perspectives, simultaneously existing as an individual entity and an integral part of a larger collective.

Linnea Johnels is educated at Goldsmiths University and Umeå Academy of Art. She is assigned the residence in Jokkmokk based on a clear idea and connection to the place. During her residency, Linnea will follow in Carl von Linné's footsteps. "In my current work, I am looking back to some kind of beginning. Therefore, the focus is on the Lapland journey in 1732, Linné's first journey, during which his economic view of nature and categorization crystallized." The residency will take place this autumn, more information to come.
More information to come.
