Don’t miss the final days to visit Ulrika Sparre’s exhibition at Index.

Ear To The Ground presents films, sculptural works and also hides some stones within its structure. Not everything can be seen, it’s also a question of attention. In Sparre’s main film in the exhibition, we can observe a landscape and some of its details; we can appreciate the abstract and physical aspect of this specific landscape. Through the film, we hear the sound of the stones while Ulrika Sparre is listening them. Sound surrounds our bodies and it is through sound that another form of communication is established.

Creating a connection between two temporal situations, drawing together artistic practices of the 70s and today through two figures who share a similar way of seeing, the exhibition Ear To The Ground presents a new film, production and installation by Ulrika Sparre together with historical material from Fina Miralles (Spain, 1950).

 Tracking Distribution is an experimental exhibition that presents a proposal to think together around the invisible structures organizing the world. Tracking Distribution selects and reflects on the distributional strands that have continued to arise throughout this year at Index through the summer course, international festival and that continue to structure and feed into the institution’s future programming. Mapping our references, acknowledging the lineage of Index’ conceptual and artistic history and narrative.

Now, Tracking Distribution gathers together these intertwined and disparate threads, unknotting and rebraiding them to create multiple entry points: with artworks, theory, archives, performativity, publishing, mapping and tracing a lineage of referents.

 November 2018. Index space was full of blue and pink colors, textiles hung with manifestos and an intense video program. It was the exhibition And Tomorrow And, a project and a platform for many voices regarding ecology, possible futures and the urgency to act. During that summer forests were burning in Sweden.

Within the frame of And Tomorrow And, Index organized a two day seminar around critical pedagogy to think-with –as Donna Haraway says– collectively. As part of the seminar, curator Bronwyn Bailey-Charteris talked with Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens, key figures within the combination of art, ecology, sexuality and love, about ecology, relationships, politics and ways of doing. Two years later –now in the middle of a pandemic and just after the elections in the US– we present this conversation of shared thoughts and ideas as a podcast.
