Gothenburg - The Language of the City
Hello all Hive friends!
The theme for the city's language today is the upcoming All Saints' Day. The weekend that was marked by Halloween. Both weekends draw attention to the dead, but it is done in slightly different ways.
The city's cultural event is rolling on. Four openings await this weekend, but there may be a few more.
On November 7, a guided tour of the exhibition Alfredo Jaar will be held at the Hasselblad Foundation / Hasselblad Foundation. Whispers and Cries. Alfredo Jaar became the Hasselblad candidate in 2020 with a prize money of 1 million Swedish kronor. He is something of an odd artist and he himself has never seen himself as a photographer. Alfredo Jaar explores complex sociopolitical themes and ethical issues of representation. With calm and meditative works, he responds to the major world events ", reads an excerpt from the jury's motivation. Alfredo Jaar was born in Chile but has lived in New York since the 1980s.
Apparently you do not have to be a photographer to get this photography award, which is the 40th in a row.
Today's photos were taken in Gothenburg.
Hej alla Hive vänner!
Tema för stadens språk idag är den kommande Allhelgonahelgen. Den gångna helgen präglades ju av halloween. Båda helgerna uppmärksammar de döda, men det görs på lite olika sätt.
Stadens kulturevent rullar på. Till helgen väntar fyra vernissager, men det kan bli några fler.
Den 7 november (söndag) anordnas en guidad visning på Hasselblad Center av utställningen; Whispers and Cries, av den Chilenske konstnären Alfredo Jaar. Alfredo Jaar blev året 2020 Hasselblads kandidat med en prissumma på 1 miljon svenska kronor. Han är något av en udda konstnär och själv har han aldrig sett sig som fotograf. ”Alfredo Jaar utforskar komplexa sociopolitiska teman och etiska frågor om representation. Med stillsamma och meditativa verk bemöter han de stora världshändelserna”, lyder ett utdrag ur juryns motivering. Alfredo Jaar är född i Chile men är sedan 1980-talet bosatt i New York.
Tydligen behöver man inte vara fotograf för att få detta fotografipris som är det 40:e i ordningen.
Dagens bilder är tagna i Göteborg.
