PUBLIC RETREAT - on fire. 




︎

October 2024 /  Solo exhibition / Practice-based Research / Sound art / Text / Fire / Video / Spatial Installation / Architecture Triennale

Collaboration between Nicole Cecilie Bitsch Pedersen / Jo Mikkel Sjaastad Huse / Johanna Fager






We invite you to gather around the fire to eat marshmallows, drink hot cider and listen. Listen to the city, to its people, to its streetscapes

In a site-specific sound installation centered around the exhibition space’s view of a burnt carbonic acid factory, PUBLIC RETREAT aim to explore fire as a possible catalyst for change. What political, aesthetic, philosophical, metaphorical, architectural, historical and natural changes does it pave way for? Based on the project Nya Lövholmen – an artistic study of the redevelopment of the former industrial area in Stockholm, as well as an artistic citizen proposal, Public Retrreat has been invited to partake in the new Architecture Triennale at Färgfabriken – located in the middle of this developing area.
