Florence Wild, At Sea
Alta Art Space, Malmö, Sweden
20 October —
22 October 2023
At Sea is a new presentation by Stockholm-based artist Florence Wild (b. 1987 Aotearoa New Zealand), at Alta Art Space, a non-commercial artist-run exhibition space and a studio collective, situated in a former ketchup factory in Malmö, Sweden.
Using humble or found materials, Wild works mainly with sculpture, textiles and words. Drawing upon her immediate surroundings, everyday activities of collecting, browsing and arranging become poetic methods through which her works reflect on time, distance, human endeavour and built environments.

This could be an example of AI generated concrete poetry, or how digitalization appears in the augmented reality of our everyday lives. The interface between cloud and body, hardware and soul.
Kah Bee Chow presents two furry robotic vacuum cleaners performing an intricate choreography – part household chores, part improvised couple dancing – in an algorithmic balance between technical aid and pet-like behavior.
