fRinge in 2025
Sara Manninen & Jone Mutka — SLO-MO
11 October - 9 November 2025
SLO-MO is a thematically interwoven exhibition by two printmakers, Sara Manninen and Jone Mutka, combining photo-based printmaking techniques and installation.At the core of the exhibition is the idea of temporality, movement, data and the inherent ability of printmaking to reproduce and record these. The works deal with the need to record a fleeting time and the impossibility to fully capture the original events behind the memories. The works in the exhibition have been created using a variety of printmaking techniques, including photographic techniques (e.g. photopolymer) and a variety of machines (e.g. laser cutting). Artists approach the theme of the exhibition through personal and found material. Both artists' work focuses on the use of photographic elements.
Sofia Romberg — wildflower tales
6 September - 5 October 2025
Wildflower Tales is shot with 16 mm film and processed by hand with flowers and plants from the filmed locations on the mountains. A document of short scenes with landscapes, flowers, family and friends in simple poses sweeps by, ending with what then became the end of further blunt transformations in Stockholm, the riot in Kungsträdgården 1971. A common quote from the urban planners in the 60s was the aim to create a new city for the new man. Decades later here we are, man and nature still caught in-between opposing forces in a milieu both created and suppressed. It’s a wildflower, is a flower, is a flower.
