Virvelns trädgård
(2016)- Abstract
- The garden at the Moderna Museet is a garden for a future – even a post-future! – which had already passed into history when I arrived in 2011. I spent much of that summer contemplating this paradox through the lens of the presence and resonating echoes of Frukost i den Gröna and Paradiset.

That former future’s gardens gave brutalism a momentarily kind hand. The kaleidoscopic was spun into minimalist tetrahedra for the building of a new kind of world. Nostalgia has been rightly classified as everything from illness to dangerously folly. But perhaps there is more subtle ore hidden in the same complexities that looking to the past sometimes refutes, to be wrested from its beguiling flowers, winnowed and carried into imagined futures to come. Here, then, is a sonic garden to echo the physical one, built from recordings of Stockholm’s few remaining marks of industrial life, together with choirs, violins, harpsichords, plant life and other moments in the fabric of the city where the garden lives, utilizing Supercollider and the Buchla and Serge synthesizers at EMS (the Elektronmusikstudion, or the Electronic Music Studio in Stockholm).
This installation was comissioned by Audiorama for Stockholm Music and Arts, 2016. (Less)
