Saint Clair Cemin
The works of Saint Clair Cemin are multifaceted and diverse, even though he most often works in traditional materials such as marble, bronze and iron. Contrasts in shape and thought are combined in his sculptures, often against a background of a finely tuned sense of humour.
"My work is more concerned with exploring a variety of different issues rather than creating a conceptual headquarter. In creating a static structure one is more concerned with homogeneity. When in movement, one is more interested in with the different textures one encounters and with the complexity of the world, that is, with heterogeneity."
Saint Clair Cemin was born in 1951 in Cruz Alta, Brazil. He now lives and works in New York. He received his artistic education in the 1970s at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He has had numerous solo exhibitions both in museums and galleries around the world and he is represented at, among others, Museum of Contemporary Art, California; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; FNAC, Paris; Museo de Arte Contemporaneo, Monterrey, Mexico; Hakone Open Air Museum, Japan; Rooseum, Malmö, Sweden; and Telenor AS, Bergen, Norway.
Truls Melin
"This exhibition consists yet again of self biographic material. A large sculpture about disorder. A sort of clumsy machine that can be diminished. The sculpture transforms into a musical installation; since the sculpture is classical it is quite and static. Movement and sound oneself has to add."
Truls Melin was born in Malmö, Sweden, in 1958, but he lives and works in Copenhagen, Denmark. He studied at the Royal Danish Art Academy in Copenhagen 1979-1984. In 1993 Truls Melin represented Sweden in the Nordic Pavilion at the Venice Biennale and as the first Swedish visual artist he received the prestigious DAAD grant in Berlin in 1994. He his represented at, among others, Moderna Museet, Stockholm; Malmö Konstmuseum, Malmö, and Norrköpings Konstmuseum, Norrköping.
Dan Wolgers
Dan Wolgers is one of Sweden's most esteemed and controversial contemporary artists. His art is filled with playfulness, humour and absurd ideas, and his ability to distort, provoke and retort leave few viewers untouched. In a well-timed and an unerring way he presents a fresh view of life and of seemingly meaningless objects.
In the new exhibition, Dan Wolgers shows sculptures from his series "Nocturnal Fishers", from 2005: "Dreamed or dreaming figures in whose inmost heavy weights are floating, held up solely by weak flowers' stems. Individuals in a nocturnal fishing team who incessantly disperse and come together."
Dan Wolgers was born in 1955 in Stockholm where he lives and works. He attended the Royal University College of Fine Arts in Stockholm (1980-85), where he was also professor from 1995-98. Dan Wolgers has exhibited widely both in Sweden and abroad. He is represented at, among others, Moderna Museet, Stockholm; Gothenburg Art Museum, Gothenburg; Malmö Konstmuseum, Malmö; Fredric Roos Nordic Collection, Malmö; Magasin 3 Stockholm Konsthall, Stockholm; Kiasma, Helsinki and the National Public Art Council of Sweden.
