16 June – 18 August

The exhibition Virgo Rising revolves around the video work Magical Mystery Tour by Susanne Svantesson. The film is a collage of documentary material and the artist’s own footing from Los Angeles. The narrative focuses on the women who followed the infamous cult leader Charles Manson, their quest for an alternative lifestyle and the psychological tensions that preceded murders committed by some of the members in the group in 1969.

​

 

Eric Length’s paintings with visions of skyscapes and dissolved landscapes oscillate between being representational and ephemeral. Together with Susanne Svantesson’s kaleidoscopic photographs these paintings can be understood as a mythological backdrop to the film, a borderland between nature and spirituality where underlying forces in our culture reveal themselves through the cracks. Length and Svantesson have collaborated closely for the exhibition Virgo Rising and are also a couple.
