Curator-led tour of Lars Fredrikson

at

Meet the exhibition’s curators in a special guided tour of the exhibition “Lars Fredrikson.” Sara Arrhenius, Director of the Swedish Institute, and Mats Stjernstedt, Director of the art hall, will talk about Fredrikson’s artistry, his work in France, and why his art is relevant today. This tour replaces the public tour on Saturday.

The tour will be conducted in Swedish.

Lars Fredrikson was born in Stockholm and moved to France in 1960. His work was strongly influenced by the spirit of the times and includes early experiments with electronics and television. Fredrikson was particularly interested in our perception of space—the spatial—and created new relationships between artworks and their surroundings. As a trained radio engineer, he constructed pieces that in various ways captured the room’s invisible waves and frequencies. In his artistic practice, he explored the boundaries between the visible and the invisible, between absence and presence, movement and sculpture. Fredrikson founded France’s first sound studio at the art school Villa Arson in Nice, thereby influencing several generations of sound artists.
