At the opening of the exhibition Växa, Norrman will give a lecture performance and seance in which she will request the presence of the star herself by using her textile artwork and wearing a headdress which is devoted to Mae West. Norrman will speak about Mae West, her legacy and on Norrmans relation to West.
Press release:
Tiger Strikes Asteroid Los Angeles is pleased to present Växa, a group exhibition of work by artists from Sweden, Denmark, Iceland and Iran. Växa is the Swedish word for growth. It can be biological growth, like when plants grow or how an artificial intelligence expands on the internet. It can also be personal growth, or how a person can grow; possibly beyond the limits of this realm.
Each of the artists approaches growth individually as a subject or concept which translates across mediums such as video, performance, sand drawings, painting and sculpture. This creates new exchanges between the works, which with common threads reach out to each other, forming new connections.
The exhibition includes the artists Emm Berring, Arngrimur Borgthorsson, Maja Gade, Johan Lundin, Bahareh Mirhadinezhadfard, Ina Nian, andMaria Norrman. They are members of Galleri CC, a non-commercial, artist-run gallery located in Malmö, Sweden.
The exhibition is part of the ScandiLA exchange program between Swedish run project spaces and Los Angeles run art spaces. Earlier this summer artists from Tiger Strikes Asteroid Los Angeles have exhibited in Galleri CC in Sweden.
