The final exhibition of the year at Vita kuben will be a double opening<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

This fall\u2019s curator, Georg Weckwerth, has invited Gerhard R\u00fchm to present \u201c24 Favorite Works\u201d<\/em> \u2014a sound piece and graphic scores. This will be Gerhard\u2019s first exhibition in Sweden, but due to his advanced age\u2014he turns 95(!) in February\u2014he has chosen not to attend. Gerhard has worked as a writer, composer, pianist, sound artist, and visual artist, and early on became part of the postwar, literature-influenced, avant-garde Wiener Gruppe. Since the early 1950s, alongside traditionally styled modernist poetry, he has produced both concrete music and concrete poetry through genre-transcending works, sound poems, and visual poetry, as well as text montages and artist books. His works exist at the intersection of music, language, gesture, and visuality. His sources of inspiration have included August Stramm, Kurt Schwitters, Gertrude Stein, Carl Einstein, and Paul Scheerbart. From 1972 to 1996, R\u00fchm was a lecturer at the Hamburg University of Fine Arts. He has received a wide range of prizes and awards for his artistic work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Puddles” by Fanny Carinasdotter <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, Fanny Carinasdotter\u2019s series *P\u00f6lar* is on display in the foyer and outside the White Cube as part of an ongoing project about a snow dump in Ume\u00e5. Over several years and across different seasons, the site and its surrounding environment have been documented. In some years, the amount of snow at the dump has been so great that it hasn\u2019t had time to melt away before the next winter, resembling a glacier, though of anthropogenic origin. Within the compacted snow deposit, cavities form\u2014labyrinthine passages through which streams of contaminated meltwater flow out, creating pools and rivulets that flow on into waterways, into the marsh, and down into the ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
