Walk around my studio # 1 – Oct 2017
by JO
My “Three-In-One” exhibition with 1) some earlier photographs in new editions on on other media, 2) 25 documentary photos from the liberation of Aleppo, Syria in December 2016 – much suffering and much hope – and 3) multi-media photo collages.
This short video – posted on Instagram – takes you around one of the rooms of my studio where there are, at the moment 113 numbered works on the list.
My studio is open anytime but by appointment only on either +46 (0)738 525200 or janoberg@mac.com.
You are very welcome online as well as ‘live’.
I’m in the process of updating and re-designing my photo homepage. It is not yet ready but there are works to see anyhow. Here.
And here a glimpse of Art Night on October 21, 2017:
This post is updated with new images, latest on October 19, 2017
This “Three-In-One” exhibition opened on the “Night Of Culture” in Lund, September 16 16-22, at Vegagatan 25.
Then I did a few new things and changed some of those presented – that’s one of the joys with collages… – and, so, this is also the collection of works that are on show when it was “Art Night” in Lund, Sweden, on October 21, 2017.
And here the poster:
The show has three categories:
• Déjà Vu.
Some earlier works that have been enhanced through re-editing and re-printing.
Here is one example, “Natalia And Gerhard Richter”:
• Hope and Suffering in Aleppo, Syria
Unique, strong images of the suffering people who came out from 4,5 years of occupation but were also expressing joy and hope.
You may get an impression of these documentary photos here.
• Multi-media photo collages.
The first is pretty self-explanatory. The second category will be explained by myself, in particular during an event 19:00-19:30 for those present.
The third is something new for me, a colourful, happy experiment contrasting the Syria series.
How did I do the latter?
I’ve taken some of my old and new photos and combined them with all kinds of stuff and media: Japanese fabrics and papers, very old calligraphy books on silk paper, old yellow newspapers, art magazines and Sotheby catalogues, cut some flee market paintings in pieces and combined it all into collages – mounted on papers, copper, steel and cardboard.
Here some of it…
On some I’ve also applied acrylic paint and oil sticks (oil colours that you paint with like crayons and not with brushes).

One of the photos from Syria that will be shown from The Night of Culture in Lund, Sweden, September 16, 2017
Summer months of silence only means that a lot of exciting things are in the pipeline.
I welcome all new recipients – and here is the preceding shoot.*
The photo above is my digital gift to you.
It's "Natalia And Gerhard Richter" – a "classic" from 2011 and one of the new-old works I've selected to be shown at:
Cultural Night in Lund, Sweden – September 16, 2017
A diverse show with three types:
• New-old works carefully selected, re-edited and re-printed.
• Photos from the December 2016 liberation of Aleppo, Syria – Hope And Suffering – shown for the first time.
• Small unique multi-media photo collages.
Hope to see you! Facebook event here. More info and photos to come.
