The radio wave moves through time and space without human recognition. The invisible waves exist everywhere, and we move through and with them all the time. Some suggest that soundwaves are constant and never stop existing once created. The radio wave is able to carry soundwaves from transmitter to receiver. In these exhibitions on frequency 88.9 FM, the radio wave creates our exhibition space.

Våg Brus presents an exhibition series broadcast from the local radio station transmitting from Hägerstensåsens medborgarhus. The broadcast houses the artworks, allowing the audience to explore them throughout the duration, when the transmission stops the exhibition closes. Thereafter, the artworks become a memory – never to be revisited in full again.

Våg Brus welcomes everyone, and the exhibition stretches all over Stockholm. Tune in from home, your car, the office, the kiosk, or join us for collective listening sessions at Hägerstensåsens medborgarhus this spring.

About the artists

Mari Mattsson holds an MA in fine arts from the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm, Sweden. She often creates site-specific installations that emphasize the visitors movement. Recurring themes explored in her practice are perception, imagination and the concept of time through sound, text and scores.

Rebecca Larsson holds an MA in fine arts from Malmö Art Academy and explores in her practice different techniques and materials, often with language as a starting point. Finding subject matters in literature and often inspired by myths and metaphysics she brings these stories to life.

Jesper Vesterlund holds an MA in fine art from the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm and works mainly with unheard sounds. Exploring tales and myths of modern times through sounds, he presents histories of the unknown.

Theodore Trottner holds an MA in fine arts from the Royal Institute of Art and an MA in sound art from Stockholm Academy of Dramatic Arts. His practice evolves around exploring sounds as ephemeral works of art. Working with site-specific installations and new methods of presentation he provides the visitor an immersive experience, exploring sound as a unique practice of attentive listening.
