Press release, August 2021
We are pleased to present the fourth and last show of the summer, an exhibition cooked by Gabriel Bott-Anderstedt.
At one point you would have to land, this is clear. You had to do so to avoid smashing into the ground. I could already sense it, though, you falling from the sky; the impact. When one of the wings broke. I witnessed the transformation. One wing still attached to your body flickering. I wish you could have accepted somehow all that was taking place. It was an act of resentfulness, it cut everything in half. That royal posture of yours and the buket… There was nothing else to do and I don't want to pose a new question. I bear the weight of a thousand bodies, all that crashed, the plants you picked so attentively. You did tell me about the engravings. I remember. They where burning on your legs and blood and half-digested vegetation was oozing from tiny holes, your whole skin swollen, pierces through. I should have listened more closely, now I only have this afterimage. I cherish it though.
Can one body be crossed over the other?
The wings, residues of this conversation.
I am deeply sorry
That I was not there for you Completely.
The plants, the flowers around your floating body. Everything around you
Almost devoured by the ocean and the earth.
Your heart comes in powder-
It only heals the wounds of others.
The sun and water
Trapped under your crushed bones.
Space overlapping
Any new life form,
And soon all matter consumed.
It happens again – a figure in the sky the fall
Will rip any sence of prime.
Anyhow… I would like to show you something more, but first some peace.
Yours sincerely, Gabriel

Seen as an experimental and spontaneous project, the core of My Space consists in (re)thinking the exhibition format as a formalization of possibilities by discovering new talents and tell stories through the artists' universes. Imagining layouts on the interpersonal relationships and collaborative processes within the frame of curatorial practices My Space proposes a format for collaborative imaginations.
Opening: Saturday August 21, 19.30-22.
Exhibition period: August 21 - August 28, 2021.
