Opening: DAVID KRANTZ Armageddon II – Or How I Stopped Worrying and Accepted Human Behavior

Man does not appear here as the center of creation, but as a species among others, shaped by the same coincidence, vulnerability and biological heritage.

13:00 - Opening and artist talk with David Krantz and art curator Annika Börjesson.

Through stereoscopic 3D animations, graphic prints and sculpture
Krantz builds installations in which space and vision become part of the work.
Motion can occur in a still image. Several dimensions can be sensed at the same moment,
And we as viewers become active.

The motifs are the primates that appear as individual figures.
Each with a title that alludes to the five stages of grief:
denial, anger, negotiation, depression and acceptance.
They do not function as symbols in the traditional sense, but as parallels.
As mirrors.

David Krantz is a Malmö-based artist who has had a background in his work since childhood.
fascination with stereoscopic images, like his old View-Master.
Since the late 1980s, he has consistently investigated how stereoscopy, animation and space can interact.
Technology is never an end in itself.
It is a tool to stretch perception and literally give depth to the image.

Armageddon II moves between evolution and destruction, between sorrow and acceptance.
It's about what it means to be part of nature
– and to live with that insight.
