BEST BEFORE COLLECTIVE INVITES...
Emelie Ivert & Erika Coleman
Konstfack alumner från kandidat programmet i textil respektive konst ställer ut ett samarbete. En triptyk-väv gjord i digital jacquard teknik - motivet är baserat på deras läsning av skapelseberättelsen i den Poetiska Eddan, Vǫluspá. Genom en serie översättningar – från text till teckning, från teckning till foto, från foto till väv – har dom skapat en personlig textil gestaltning av en tusenårig mytologisk sångsamling.

Hilma Nordén
This year, we invited Hilma Nordén to exhibit with us. Her practice explores cultural creations of nature, folklore and magic. She grew up in plantation forests, and feels a kinship with the trees of her childhood, who raised her yet silently disappear under the teeth of chainsaws. Nordén’s work acknowledges the forest beyond its timber, and investigates the constructed hierarchies and hybridities between human and nature. Get to know more about Hilma Nordén here

GREBNELLAW
Populating the PlanetEXHIBITION / DAILY PERFORMANCES
OCTOBER 14 - OCTOBER 17, 2021
at Supermarket Art Fair 2021
Between the 14-17 of October, the artist Grebnellaw will take over the Best Before Collective’s stand at the Supermarket Art Fair 2021, using a red and white color code as metaphor for binary restrictions but also the concept of reduction as a vehicle for creativity. For this show the artist will continue to populate the world with their similarly titled imaginary population of fictional bodies and mutable hybrids. On display there will be a serie of digital portraits that will be translated daily into a performative happening through a personal genesis process that could be described as a continuous flow of music, form, ideas, interaction and movement.
