Abstract (Swedish)
Varje enskild bild är underordnad helhetens innebörd - Om det offentliga rummet, karnevalen och aktivismen i Anarkrew: an anti-archives

As a part of the Gothenburg International Biennial for Contemporary Art (GIBCA), the art exhibition Anarkrew: an anti-archives examines Gothenburg carnival and counter culture spirit.

Varje enskild bild är underordnad helhetens innebörd - Om det offentliga rummet, karnevalen och aktivismen i Anarkrew: an anti-archives

As a part of the Gothenburg International Biennial for Contemporary Art (GIBCA), the art exhibition Anarkrew: an anti-archives examines Gothenburg carnival and counter culture spirit. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how notions of public space take place in the exhibition. This is done by using a theoretical framework consisting of theories by Mikhail Bakhtin, Henri Lefebvre and Judith Butler. Using discourse analysis I have concluded the exhibition is marked by a political discourse based on its intimate relationship to political activism and anarchist ideology. The thesis recognizes that ideas about public space are expressed through this intimate relationship, but also how some specific art works use their space. Furthermore, since the exhibition puts together ideas about carnivalesque expression and leftwing political ideology, the exhibition also recognizes the carnival as a potential form of political activism. Anarkrew: an anti-archives is thus constituted by the space surrounding the exhibition, but it also constitutes new meanings of that space in the way the exhibition uses it to display ideas about carnivalism, political activism and spatial ideologies.
