De kompletterar varandra med olika aspekter av ljus, lek, humor och mystik. Ljus som måleri, vetenskap, naturfenomen, ljud och skulptur. Verken innehåller nyfikenhet, humor, experimentlusta och djup, samtidigt som de berör på ett djupt känslomässigt plan." |  Borås Tidning Kultur.

Borås Bright Art tar ut konsten på gatorna – ”Sinnligt och visuellt”
Kultur
När många städer blir mörkare i elkrisens spår blir Borås ljusare. Borås Konstmuseum gör sin största satsning på över ett år när ljusutställningen Borås Bright Art kör igång.
– Stäng av tv:n och gå ut och titta på konsten i stället, det är billigare, säger museichef Eva Eriksdotter.

Ljuskonst ska lysa upp Borås – mitt i elkrisen: ”Vi behöver ljus som kan förena oss”
Det blir allt mörkare utomhus – då lyser Borås upp med allt från spöknät till ljusringar tack vare ljuskonstutställningen Borås Bright art. Detta görs mitt i den rådande elkrisen, något som fått flera boråsare att fundera på varför.
– Sen kan man också tänka att när vi släcker ner i och med elkrisen så behöver vi också ljus som kan förena, säger Caroline Gustafsson, curator. |  Borås Bright Art

Roots by Lena Mattsson, music Conny C-A Malmqvist.
Click on the link and read more. |  Roots relates both physically and metaphorically to roots. The installation as a whole triggers ambiguous associations and shows how everything is connected – the beginning, the end, eternity. The works, both outdoors and indoors, are connected thematically and can be read as a triptych. Mattsson is deft at conjuring up moods, and takes us on a journey that is alternately thrilling, sensitive, magical, realistic and symbolic. The accompanying music is composed by the musician Conny C-A Malmqvist |

International light art in public spaces and at Borås Art Museum
Lena Mattsson explores how we relate to and perceive the world, time and space, often basing her work on seemingly ordinary situations that gradually shift and prompt us to question the fundamentals of life. She often plays with scale, and her works appear in surprising yet tailored places. Gone Fishing features children who fish objects out of the water.

Essä av Malin Wahlberg
I Lena Mattsons porträtt av författaren, regissören och bokförläggaren Bo Cavefors, I betraktarens öga (2013), avbildas han rakt framifrån i en konventionell ”Talking head”-tagning. Den vemodiga musiken frammanar en förväntan om en möjligt tragisk uppväxtskildring. Cavefors konstaterar stillsamt att han, efter några mindre lyckade vistelser vid svenska läroverk, ”skickades till ett internat i England, en jesuitskola.

 Lysande dokumentär om Bo Cavefors
In the Eye of the Beholder
Modern Muséet i Malmö
Det var fullsmockat med folk när konstnären Lena Mattson hade vernissage på Modern Muséet i Malmö, men huvudrollsinnehavaren var snarare hennes objekt, nämligen Bo Cavefors, än hon själv. I hennes dokumentärfilm In the Eye of the Beholder (I betraktarens öga) står nämligen Bo Cavefors i blickpunkten och den dokumentation som Lena Mattson har åstadkommit är suverän |  Sunday, March 16th marks the last chance to see the exhibition Lena Mattsson: In The Eye of The Beholder. In Moderna Museet Malmö’s New gallery, the visitor can see the publisher Bo Cavefors tell about his life to the tunes of contemporary music by Conny C-A Malmqvist. The artist and curator Ola Åstrand holds the role as observer and in his dark sunglasses, Cavefors is reflected.
The installation has been described as “courageous” and “well executed” and the exhibitions goes on all week |  A video installation about the man, the myth and the human being Bo Cavefors by Lena Mattsson.

 Legenden Cavefors är avmystifierad
Men legenden Cavefors är avmystifierad, i Lena Mattssons videoverk.
Lars Gustaf Andersson tar till Sofokles och Ezra Pound, och ser hur allt praktfullt sammanfaller! Om man "tar det från det hållet"...

4. Lena Mattsson
Moderna Museet, Malmö, till och med den 16 mars
Lena Mattsson går all in i sin hyllning till den legendariske bokförläggaren Bo Cavefors. En video i tre delar på varsin vägg. Han är Lou Reed, Kurt Cobain och 2Pac i ett. Så klart är det till ett rocksoundtrack. Det är bara att stampa i takt. |  Superb dokumentär med Bo Cavefors
Vad ska man kalla Bo Cavefors? Den avantgardiska bokutgivningens förebild? En ikon? En levande legend? I dag har Zen Zat varit på vernissage på Moderna Muséet i Malmö och sett Lena Mattsons dokumentärfilm In the eye of the beholder (I betraktarens öga), där huvudrollsinnehavaren är just Bo Cavefors. Låt oss genast säga att detta är ett lysande dokument, där Bo Cavefors själv berättar om sitt liv, sin attityd till livet, bokutgivning och erotik. |  A video installation about the man, the myth and the human being Bo Cavefors by Lena Mattsson.
