Text release at SQUID
Saturday Jun 5, 2010


We are proud to announce today’s release at SQUID, this time by the contributors Meira Ahmemulic and Anna Lundh.

Meira Ahmemulic tells a story about a boy and the perfect picture of a boy, reminiscent of Oscar Wilde’s ”The Picture of Dorian Gray”. The picture takes a lifetime to experience, but also a lifetime to preserve. The observer has to devote his life to its care and at the same time he is becoming increasingly provoked by it: There has to be something behind the surface, a personal expression, a voice.
Meira Ahmemulic is an artist based in Berlin. She works with video, text, actions and curatorial practices.

Anna Lundh’s contribution to SQUID is based on her research and takes the book “The Saga of the Big Computer machine – A vision”, by Olof Johannesson (1966) as its point of departure. The story unfolds a descriptive and fascinating timeline behind “The Saga…” revealing a nonlinear and multilayered narrative connected to technology, culture, science and interdisciplinary networks in Stockholm in the 1960’s.
Anna Lundh is a Swedish artist who lives and works in Stockholm and New York.

We wish you a great summer and enjoyable reading!
