“GALERIE ORA-ORA PRESENTS BLACK: RECATEGORIZE, A GROUP EXHIBITION FEATURING ARTISTS:

CARLA CHAN, JURI MARKKULA, ZHANG YANZI, HUANG DAN, XIAO XU, CINDY NG AND MARKING PATRICK NILSSON’S ASIA DEBUT.

“Galerie Ora-Ora is delighted to present a group exhibition which

seeks to challenge the audience perception and ask the question: ‘What is black?’ Bringing together

works by seven pioneering artists, ‘BLACK: RECATEGORIZE’ will explore the dynamic and nuanced

depictions of black – a colour often dismissed and disregarded due to its ubiquity. Through paintings,

contemporary ink, new media and low-relief sculpture, the exhibition will seek to shed new light on

this deepest of colours; at once rejecting and confirming a variation on the age old maxim, that black

is the new black.”

“Mors lilla Olle” installerat och klart.

Kronängskolan, Vaxholm.

I juni 2017 installerades skulpturerna på Kronängskolan på Vaxholm. Skolan, en mycket vackert komponerad byggnadsvolym som breder ut sig i terrängen, är ritad av Mattias Palme.

Det är tillsammans tre stycken skulpturer i vit betong. Projektets namn är “Mors lilla Olle”. Det är en självklar referens till Alice Tegnérs sång men än mer en historia om dagdrömmar och resor. Se filmen som är gjord av kommunikationsavdelning på Vaxholms Stad.

Tack till Fredrik Strid, Erlandsson Bygg, Ylva Kullenberg och Roland Karlsson, Vaxholm Stad, Pelle Bäckström och Stephen McKenzie.
