Tremble: Alberta Whittle, Felix Gmelin, Frida Orupabo, is open this week
Wed–Fri 13–17
Sa-Sun 12–16

Alberta Whittle’s What Sound Does The Black Atlantic Make? (2019) unravels the colonial legacy of the North British Rubber Company, turning towards the ocean as a site of memory.

The company’s most well-known product was the Wellington boot, and it is recorded that the factory produced 1,185,036 pairs for the British Army during the First World War.

Whittle draws connections between the material histories of the factory and the wider networks of colonialism, capitalism and extraction.

What is seemingly distant becomes entangled in a web of violent circulation of matter, commodities, and human life across the Atlantic.

Curator: Tawanda Appiah

Tremble: Alberta Whittle, Felix Gmelin, Frida Orupabo, is open this weekend!
Sat–Sun 12–16.

At the heart of Felix Gmelin’s “Farbtest, Die Rote Fahne II” (2002) (Color Test, The Red Flag II) is the question: can a political gesture be inherited? What survives, is it its conviction, its image, its choreography, or simply its memory?

He restages Gerd Conradt’s 1968 video, shot with his father Otto F. Gmelin and his students, with his own years later in Sweden at the turn of the millennium.

The recordings are exhibited as a cohesive installation, side by side, in contrasting symbiosis.

Our current exhibition, Tremble, is open today 13–17.

Frida Orupabo’s nine-channel video installation “Untitled” (2018), unfurls violences and absurdities thrown at Black life. From police brutality, to invasive medical procedures carried out in the name of science, and forced baptism on Indigenous lands.’

Rather than hiding away this darkness she pulls it to the surface, calling for public reckoning of the tremblement. She brings together discomfort and release, at times with a grave sense of humour, because what can you do?

The exhibition features works by Alberta Whittle, Felix Gmelin and Frida Orupabo, and is curated by Tawanda Appiah.

Tremble: Alberta Whittle, Felix Gmelin, Frida Orupabo is open Wed–Fri 13–17, Sat–Sun 12–16.

Frida Orupabo’s nine-channel video installation glares at the viewer in a constant loop. Disarming still and moving images sourced from various archives by the artist flash in a choreographed cacophony.

In one clip, we hear the words, ‘somebody almost walked off wid alla my stuff… stealing my stuff from me don't make it yours, it makes it stolen’. The words delivered by Alfre Woodard in Ntozake Shange’s choreopoem, For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Su***de/ When the Rainbow Is Enuf.

In another, “i am tired of god,” scribbled in jarring, childlike handwriting in red ink, flickers and disappears.

Join us tonight for the opening of Tremble: Alberta Whittle, Felix Gemlin, Frida Orupabo.

Vernissage 18–23, in conjunction with Malmö Gallery Weekend.

‘The earth is trembling’, observed Martinique-born writer and thinker Édouard Glissant. ‘Today, the world is unpredictable and in such a world, utopia is necessary’, he continued.

In this world of unrest and friction, it asks how resistance takes form, moves, and persists over time. Embracing a Glissantian approach it accepts the ongoing rumbling as a matter of fact, and presses on what it means to live, think, and act within it.

Tremble opens tomorrow, Friday 25.09, 18–23!
Artist talk Saturday 26.09, 14–16.

The exhibition presents works by Alberta Whittle, Felix Gmelin and Frida Orupabo.

Édouard Glissant’s trembling thinking runs through the exhibition as a way of facing systems of terror. To tremble is not to remain still, but to move, to respond, to act, and to open toward what might be possible.

The exhibition follows this movement tethering itself in anti-imperial thought and reaching for potentiality through artistic gesture.
