MICHAEL CRANETEST17-23 Jan 1976

MICHAEL CRANE from Chicago is exhibiting at Galerie S:t Petri, Lund, from 17–23 January 1976. This is the first time his work is shown in Sweden.

The exhibition consists of three parts, which connect the viewer with the photographs in such a way that, when experienced together, they create a geometric “sculpture.” Naturally, these “sculptures” exist only when the viewer looks at the photographs in the way Michael Crane proposes. And even then, the “sculptures” exist only intellectually, and only for as long as each viewer allows them to exist.

Also presented at the exhibition is a book — “Fill in this space” — containing a collection of 26 conceptual works by Michael Crane produced during the last four years. Most of the book deals with formal and/or intuitive questions regarding things he experiences as existing around him.

Michael Crane says the following:
“I remain constantly puzzled and interested by the forces in the environment that affect me, as well as by my reactions to the environment and by the ways in which I incorporate these experiences. The results of these assimilations are shown in this exhibition. As an artist I wish to share them, to communicate, and therefore chose to do this so that the spectator can supply the missing information or simply imagine the possibilities.”

The exhibition is open weekdays 15:00–20:00, Saturdays and Sundays 12:00–17:00.
