Welcome the 19th of Decemeber! Ingrid Ogensedt and I will exhibit in Stockholm!

Welcome to Cigarrvägen 13 den 19de December!
Opening kl 5pm, open 20-21 Dec  kl 1-4 pm.

Anna Sörenson and Ingrid Ogenstedt work with concepts created by the composer and artist John Cage. Ogenstedt is based in Bremen, while Sörenson lives and works in Stockholm. When Sörenson visited Ogenstedt in Bremen, the two friends discovered they had been working in parallel with Cage’s concepts of art and originality, in pencil on paper.

Anna has been working with drawings based on John Cage’s “Fontana Mix.” “Fontana Mix” is four images: several dots, a grid, a line and something that looks like a topographic map. Cage introduced the images a model that one could use to interpret music with but also art and literature, by printing the images on a transparent sheet they can be placed on anything for a new interpretation. During an exhibition project in Brussels, Sörenson produced approximately 20 drawings with a copy machine, pencil and paper. The drawing became an alphabet of symbols that she used to construct the larger drawings.

Ingrid works with the concepts around Cage’s interest in the biological nature of mushrooms, how he has used foraged mushrooms and the mushrooms’ mycelium as a metaphor for how creativity works, patterns of though processing and how concepts evolve. Her older work has been shown in Bremen during the John Cage Day, where two projectors showed photo collages depicting various circle shapes, some of them “fairy rings,” where mushrooms grow in circles.

Together they have used their older work as common ground, and during a period of three months produce new work. The work is now presented in Stockholm at “Ciggarvägen Tretton” and has already been shown at “Immigration Office” in Bremen. This exhibition is a dialog between two artists, two friends and two cities.
