Description
Välkommen på lunchvisning av utställningen Making Nature – Fredrik Strid
Under våren och sommaren 2024 presenterar Skissernas Museum en separatutställning med Fredrik Strid. Utställningen Making Nature tar sin utgångspunkt i det processbaserade skulpturprojektet Alla fåglar i Sverige. Verket, som konstnären har arbetat med sedan 2018, visas här i sin helhet för första gången. Den omfattande installationen består av 257 svenska fågelarter som skalenligt modellerats i lera och sedan gjutits till ljus i vit stearin. Stearinfåglarna presenteras på ett specialtillverkat hyllsystem som tar stora delar av utställningsrummen i anspråk. Verket blir ett slags naturaliesamling. Alla fåglar har en etikett med artnamn och är uppställda på ett sätt som för tankarna till äldre naturhistoriska museers presentation av djur. De fragila stearinfåglarna skapar en påtaglig materialitet som för tankarna till förgänglighet.
En bok med samma titel som verket, Alla fåglar i Sverige, kom ut 2022. Författarna Leif Holmstrand, Jonas Örtemark och Lars-Erik Hjertström Lappalainen samt fotografen Mattias Lindbäck har följt konstnärens process och delar i boken med sig av sina tankar kring projektets natur och tema.
I utställningen visas även skulpturen Eko som korresponderar med Alla fåglar i Sverige och väcker frågor som rör museers samlande, klassificering och historieskrivning. Eko produceras särskilt för utställningen på Skissernas Museum.
Strid har under lång tid arbetat med naturen i sin konst. Genom skulptur och installation utforskar han sin relation till naturromantik, natur på museer, naturvetenskap och historia och sina erfarenheter av den faktiska naturen. I hans verk skapas ofta en subtilt växande spänning mellan det uppenbara och det dolda.
Nu välkomnar Skissernas Museum alla anställda vid Lunds universitet till utställningens första lunchvisningar (ca 30 min).

Welcome to a lunch showing of the exhibition Making Nature – Fredrik Strid
Skissernas Museum – Museum of Artistic Process and Public Art – will present a solo exhibition by Fredrik Strid in the spring and summer of 2024. The starting point for the exhibition Making Nature is the process-based sculpture project Alla fåglar i Sverige (All Birds of Sweden). The project, which the artist has been working on since 2018, will be shown here in its entirety for the first time. The extensive installation consists of 257 bird species found in Sweden, which have been modelled at full scale in clay and then cast to create candles in white stearin (candle wax). The stearin birds are presented using a specially made shelf system that takes up a large part of the exhibition space. The work becomes a kind of natural history collection. All the birds have a label showing the species name and are arranged in a way that brings to mind the presentation of animals in old natural history museums. The fragile stearin birds create a materiality that leads to reflections on impermanence.
A book with the same title as the work, Alla fåglar i Sverige, was published in 2022. The authors, Leif Holmstrand, Jonas Örtemark and Lars-Erik Hjertström Lappalainen, and photographer Mattias Lindbäck have followed the artist’s process and they share their thoughts in the book on the nature and theme of the project.
The exhibition also presents the sculpture Eko (Echo), which corresponds with Alla fåglar i Sverige and awakens questions concerning museums’ collections, classifications and historiography. Eko has been produced specifically for the exhibition at Skissernas Museum.
Strid has been incorporating nature in his art for quite some time. Through sculptures and installations, he explores his relationship with nature romanticism, nature in museums, natural science and history, and his own experience of actual nature. His works often create a subtle growing tension between the evident and the concealed.
Museum of Artistic Process and Public Art now welcomes all employees at Lund University to the first couple of guided lunch tours about the exhibition.
