The 35m2 gallery presents two monumental works, two different environments. Both spaces are based on the same material context, the same material language. Yet each of these realizations appeals to different senses using different techniques and materials. These new spatial configurations, structures, and installations, which shape our spatial orientation and navigation through space, primarily appeal to our basic senses, our sensory memory, and our individual/private memory. The multi-layered nature of material, the construction of new material connections and contexts, is a long-term process in which new complex spatial forms of communication are created. This material, spatial, and sensory communication includes processes that are both familiar and unfamiliar (hidden) to us, fragments of our individual memory, and also the memory that these complex realizations themselves construct. We move in a circle of events that are partly mechanical, machine-like, and partly refer to reality as it is currently being lived or has already been lived. The circle, the cyclical nature of events, is the basic structural element here.
Ida Idaida (*1990, Mora, Sweden) is a multimedia artist and sculptor based in Stockholm. Ida Idaida works with multi-layered material that allows us to view, observe, perceive, and interpret her work in many different ways. The result of her intense and physical work is complex, monumental, and processual/mechanical spatial realizations.
