Rooseum Center for Contemporary Art
Malmo, ,

Rooseum Lobby is a new collaborative project between Rooseum and Radisson SAS Hotel that gives Rooseum the opportunity to present contemporary art outside the institution and the public a chance to experience art in a different context. Four young, Malmö based artists will work in the hotel space during 2002: Christina Erman Widerberg, Andreas Nordström, Luca Frei and Anna Ling. Now it’s time for Luca Frei.
The exhibition Suggestions for Empty Spaces, by Luca Frei, opens on 30 August. The group of collages and drawings in the exhibition presents his latest works, and visualises the artist’s concerns with the idea of space as an open territory for questioning and possibilities.
Luca Frei’s latest projects have all in some ways been concerned with educational and working models exploring ideas of mediation relating to architecture, design, context and communication.
Recent public projects included the realisation of the office space + lounge at Index gallery in Stockholm and the class-room for the Critical Studies program at Malmö Art Academy. Recent exhibition projects included Fria Aktiviteter/ Free Activities in collaboration with Anna Ling, Wight Gallery, University of California ( Los Angeles, 2001), a project that questioned the relation between education and control; A Laboratory for Proposals/ Proposals for a Laboratory, graduation exhibition, Peep Gallery (Malmö 2002) and participation in the Gwangju Biennale (Korea, 2002).
