About this Report

The Station

We spent six days at the weather station. The windows of the cabin were covered with an orange filter to exclude all external blue light. Various measurements recorded conditions and changes in our bodies in a shielded environment. Time was spent performing and collecting these results and adding them to a report. What is the weather like in here, inside the walls and skins? Our weather report accounts for a period of isolation.

Gideonsson/Londré

The artist duo Gideonsson/Londré live and work in Kallrör, Jämtland. The two artists seek to evoke a third figure, the one who will endure. The one who will be able to carry the artistic practice, their common one. In time-consuming processes, they start from the position of the physical body in social space, through which time and experiences pass. The works are often expressed in performances and installations, where the third body moves according to highly regulated activities.
