Hösten på Grafikens Hus färgas av besök av unga konstnärer från norra Europa. De deltar i projektet Network Baltic, där konstnärer från tio länder möts över gränserna. Internetutställningar, utställningar i flera länder samtidigt och seminarier skapar en mötesplats för unga konstnärer och ger deltagarna ett viktigt nätverk för framtiden.
I Grafikens Hus trycker stipendiater egna upplagor och hänger en separatutställning som avslutning på en veckas vistelse. Först ut var Kevin Lytsen från Danmark i slutet av augusti. Just nu pågår dessutom en workshop. Här möts konstnärer från tio länder vid Östersjön och utforskar kombinationer av nya och äldre grafiska tekniker. Workshopen efterföljs av en utställning som startar den 18 oktober.
Projektet stöds av EU och Landstinget Sörmland. |

Birgitte Lyng Sørensen, Danmark
This work is a story about what might happen when you take the train to Mariefred, nobody pics you up at the trainstation, you are all alone, and there is no bus.
It is a short comic strip. The narrative of the story is somewhere between realism and fantasy. Somewhere inbetween.
It is made on a computer, mixing photos, drawing and text, then made into a photo-polymer print. |

It is hard to notice something insignificant. We ignore apparently meaningsless things.
In my work I separate small details from their context, in order for me to study them, see what they look like. The main idea is to find something insignificant, and make it important.

During this workshop I have been given the opportunity to leave behind old forms and subjects that I usually work with. It has been a liberating experience, without pressure to succeed.
The most important aspect has been to get to know the other participants, see their work, and working processes.
My workshop started in a dramatic way, because as I landed in Sweden I was reached by the message that a family member had died, a very near and dear person to me.
At Grafikens Hus I found Per Manings book that helped me deal with my immediate feelings of sorrow. I used a photo of a dog as a base for one of my works. The dog represents departure and loneliness.

I was alone with my feelings of loss, and to overcome the longing for my dear ones, I started to work with a passeport photo of my love. Using digital manipulation it became an image of a revolutionary hero. I developed this idea using a photo of myself, and a dog named Leo, making images of me and my family as forgotten icons.

In my work I am mainly interested in moods. This is the base for my art.
Human beings exist between illusion and reality.
Our faces are always looking forwards.
Like hunters who mustn't look back, otherwise the hunt fails.
If we look back too much in our life, we can't move forwards.

In this workshop I have created series of works, where you see persons portraited in their emotional space.
The backgrounds in the prints are like split second images of different states of mind, the persons emotional fields or space. |

Niklas Mulari, Norge
Working with graphic art is new to me. The techniqal and pictorial language is different from painting, that I usually work with.
To continue developing you have to try new things, and meet new challenges. During these two weeks I have learned new techniques, and found som new points of view that I can use in my painting.
I am inspired by graphic patterns, that I use in my work to create other things, (inner spaces).

Everything was better before.
Was everything better before?
What would happen if...? |

Silvia Marzall, Tyskland
Extraordinary / awkward organisms appear as thin strings, irregular texture, coarse / rough structures, open objects.
The material itself is my starting point, which develops into processes of manipulation and transmutation / transformation in form, medium and surrounding.
At some point shapes and lines are mixed, transforming themselves into eachother, then again they divide, exploring the limits of the 2nd and 3d dimensions.
