The gallery has produced a show with a Brooklyn theme for Restaurant Niklas in central Stockholm. This season the restaurant is having a Brooklyn-inspired menu and asked the gallery to produce an exhibition. Together with William Dunleavy from Superchief Gallery in NYC we’ve put together a show in two parts. The photo show is curated by Dunleavy whose gallery recently moved from Brooklyn to Lower East Side in NY, on the walls in the restaurant poster work by Brooklyn-based artist Noah Lyon is shown.

The photo show will also be exhibited at Superchie Gallery later this year.

In Case We Don’t Die (ICWDD) press release

These days potential catastrophes are everywhere you look. You can’t go outside or turn on the TV without reports of the world coming to an ‘End’ – global climate collapsing or terrorists planning new attacks. The world is so full of danger, threats, stress, overload and insecurity. Assuming that we, against all odds, survive the terrifying pitfalls of the future, is creativity going to be the thing that saves us? Will our imagination become an escape route, a place where we can hide, or will it be the one thing that forcefully confronts us with the truth and gives us the strength needed to make a change? What kind of art would a generation of unlikely survivors produce and where would they find their inspiration? What influence would surviving a catastrophe have on our values, ethics and our perception of truth and how might this situation visualize itself in the art of the future? This pressure coming from a hyper tense society of doom is having a massive impact on the art being produced by the artists who manage to keep up their practice and it is forcing others to remain passive or paralyzed while waiting for a change of current that may never come.

One of the ways in which you can see contemporary art adjusting to the current circumstances is the merger between art and social politics, manifested in movements such as the Occupy movement. New media and the social networks have made it possible for spontaneous online societies to form, spread and organize themselves, and staging real life, long term protests that resemble cultural events or art performances, but also represent a new kind of radical democracy that aims to “occupy the future” and resurrect the hope that’s been lost.

The gallery has produced a show for Berns for the spring of 2013. Work by american artist Ruvan Wijessoriay are shown through projections, installations and framed work in both the restaurant and hotel lobby.

Ruvan Wijesooriya (b. 1977) is a photographer based in New York City. His unique vision consistently and seamlessly blurs the lines between life, art and commerce in subject areas ranging from landscapes to fashion, music to flowers. His photographs are a record of his interests, passions and inspirations, his approach always immediate, genuine and curious.

Ruvan has shown internationally and is known for the interactive and happening nature of his exhibitions. In February 2012 he curated an exhibition for the Swedish Consulate of New York; March saw an exhibition of his music photographs at SXSW in Austin, Texas. In late Spring he embarked on a tour doing a series of exhibits in Stockholm, Oslo, Copenhagen and London. His book, LCD, a documentation of the group LCD Soundsystem, was made available through powerHouse Books in December 2012 after a widely attended and reported launch event in Miami Beach during Art Basel.

His fine art prints are collected by many, most notably the artist Ed Ruscha. Ruvan is currently working on a book about Sweden to be released later in the year. The work in this exhibition is from that forthcoming book.
