Existential Housekeeping 2

The ongoing Stockholm series Existential Housekeeping at the HIT Gallery is guided by the path of coconut kinhin to retail gallery living rooms, dressed in seasonal Shutterstock monochrome. The paintings here are not stretched on a blind frame, but with a rope loop. The limp white fabric hand in the space is not a discarded glove, but a precisely hung existential necessity. Nik's honest handiwork is not born on canvas, but on a sewing machine. The hypertext message can be read from small reliefs.

Existential Housekeeping 2
The artistic team is meeting in the underground space to explore the psychoacoustic attributes of sound, and the physical limits and resonance properties of the human body; the use of music during rituals and religious ceremonies, and the possibility of connecting occultism, music, and sound as a means of communication, meditation and spiritual work.
Rather than an exhibition, it is an authorial environment – architecture within architecture. The vision for this solution is based on the motif of an island, a changing landscape, lithospheric plates, and the story of the mill complex itself. The basic conceptual framework creates space for collective and individual multi-genre artistic and curatorial work.
