Loulou Cherinet’s art moves between the documentary and the constructed. In spatial installations and representations, she uses narrative to explore abstract concepts, including the manifestation of politics in physical environments and the interrelationships among people.
Commissioned by Bildmuseet, Cherinet has created a large-scale spatial installation, drawing inspiration from historical panorama painting and 360-degree storytelling. Encircled by immense paintings, museum visitors are invited to reflect on our present and the possibility of creating new worlds and futures.
Loulou Cherinet (b. 1970) studied at Addis Ababa University School of Fine Art & Design and the Royal Institute of Art, Stockholm.
She Wears Her Nerves on Her Sleeve, a durational performance by artist Irina Laaja.
Irina Laaja asks questions about what a body is and can be, and about the relationship between the "body" and the "self". Her practice is both conceptual and confessional,with a strong focus on the process and her own body.
