ARTs, agency and social mobility
Ylva Hofvander Trulsson
1 April 2015 - 31 December 2019
his research study by Ylva Hofvander Trulsson focused on intergenerational discourses and dialogue on Sami culture and its relationship to contemporary society in Sweden and Norway. In Hofvander Trulsson’s previous research a strong discourse on social mobility and ‘class remobility’ has been found in relation to learning music and arts. Culture, music and arts can be assumed to strengthen the Sami habitus and create a social reconstruction of Sami identity and agency.
Blind Spots
Woodpecker Projects
17 September 2015 - 17 September 2015
In light of the current situation where an increasingly heated political climate is shaping the rhetoric and discussion concerning migrants and refugees – we wish to investigate the agency of art and artists working with these matters or within related fields.
The symposium Blind Spots will explore a number of different artistic practices operating in a social and political context over two days. In order to expand the critical perspectives, practitioners and institutions in the Oresund region as well as transnational agents are invited to contribute with their perspectives in relation to art and migration. The focus will be on questions concerning inclusion/exclusion, activism/art, empowerment/representation and the artist's role when working in political contexts. The symposium is also an opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with practitioners in the field of art dealing with migration through different approaches.
The symposium is organized by Woodpecker Projects and artist Maj Hasager in collaboration with Inter Arts Center and Malmö Konstmuseum.

LEIF HOLMSTRAND´S ONE YEAR RESIDENCY
Leif Holmstrand
9 December 2015 - 15 December 2015
About a year ago Leif Holmstrand was invited to do a one-year residency at IAC. There were no plans or fixed expectations, other than the expectation of endless possibilities, of artistic adventures and experiments. During the year Leif Holmstrand has intervened in IAC newly renovated and sterile environment with his garbage installations, an organic text/newspaper wall piece, readings, performances and generously curated a video programme at our entrance. But before we end our formal residential collaboration, we hope you will join us for a last event – a happening, installation and book release, that somehow wraps up Holmstrands activities of the past year here.
Halla Steinunn Stefánsdóttir
Halla Steinunn Stefánsdóttir
1 August 2015 - 31 August 2021
Halla Steinunn Stefánsdóttir has been the artistic director of Nordic Affect since its inception in 2005. Believing that the exciting things happen "in the connection" Halla Steinunn’s work with the ensemble has been a tour de force when it comes to collaborative relationships with composers, visual artists, and producers. Furthermore she’s brought the spotlight to women’s role in music history, leading to projects such as HÚN/SHE which was broadcast by the European Broadcasting Service in 2015.
With degrees from The Royal Danish Academy of Music and Indiana University School of Music, Halla Steinunn now holds a PhD position in artistic research at Lund University, in a time where the divide between creator and performer is being questioned in theoretical writings and in practice.

Imri Sandström, Linnéa Eriksson, David Vikgren and more
26 September 2015 - 17 October 2015
The exhibitions is part of Sandström's artistic research project Howe Across Reading – Performing the Past which is an investigation into the histories and languages of New England in the north east of USA and Västerbotten in the north of Sweden, with and through the writings of poet and literary scholar Susan Howe. The region's colonial historical narratives, thick with impenetrable woods, biblical language and "new" land co-resonate in a variety of ways. The project looks at, and listens to, how sounds, times and spaces are generated in ongoing translation and trans-historical reading and writing across geographies, religions, and literatures. Howe's texts are here a condition for searching, a means to navigate within archives, narratives, language based time-space.

25 August 2015 - 26 August 2015
There is a tendency that discussions concerning artistic research is kept theoretic, thus avoiding the most important aspect of the research: the artistic practice.
Even if practical obstacles (such as spaces, technology, equipment) are bypassed, there is still a need for the artist to figure out an efficient way in which the practice can be combined with other means of communication, or how it can stand by itself. If the practice cannot be presented "live" what kind of modes of representation are usable? How can knowledge about the practice be communicated to the audience in a way that may makes it useful?

We all learned to negotiate
Angelica Falkeling
14 August 2015 - 29 August 2015
When we first approached the border, we did not know how to cross it. I saw you leap over. Duck under. Then pass. It was pierced by small holes, openings where our fingers could touch. Sometimes we would pass each-other imperceptibly, moving with ease. Sometimes our breath became laboured.

Pernille Mejer: Depth & Ease
Pernille Mejer , Emelie Bardon, Frigge Fri
22 March 2015 - 23 August 2015
THE CONCEPT – DEPTH & EASE
I have made an artistic research on depth&ease in various elements – the voice, the body, the beat, the phrase, words and lyrics, movement, emotions – in order to get nearer the essence of the voice and its possibilities of expression. I believe that getting closer to the seed of my true voice is getting closer to all human beings. As a vocal archaeologist I expand my knowledge about the human and the world by digging deeper into the voice.
