all dreams, all stone
Jun 8 — Sep 3, 2023

• NEVVEN is proud to present all dreams, all stone, a group show featuring new works by Warsaw based Belarusian artist Lera Dubitskaya, Italian artist Letizia Lucchetti, Swedish artist Emelie Sandström, and two works from the archive of legendary Japanese photographer Toshio Shibata. With Dubitskaya, Lucchetti and Shibata at their first ever exhibition in Sweden, and inspired by a poem by American poet Eileen Myles (Dream, 2013), the show aims to present four extremely distant practices, mediums, artists and formats. Grounded on stark juxtapositions, both physical and metaphysical, all dreams, all stone invites the viewer to delve into the eerie and captivating, funny and serious, colourful and austere works these four artists present us with.

   

  Dream

   

  Close to the
  door in
  my dream the
  small signs

  I saw a brown
  sign with wisdom
  on it
  I saw a brown
  one leaning
  with wisdom
  on it

  fringe of a mirror
  my mother
  leaning over a pond
  cupping water

  leaning against
  the moulding
  cardboard or
  wood which materials do you

  does your wisdom prefer

  which a-
  partment in a summer
  with someone
  I felt brave to
  have touched
  her love the screen
  door and the dogs
  and the cats always
  getting out. That
  was the fear
  two signs
  fading but recalling
  they had faded like words
  fade in stone because
  of the rain and the days
  and waking and the dream
  is leaving with every
  step leaning over the meat
  because I do not want
  you to have died in vain
  kissing the turkey and
  the neck of  my dog
  all animals am I.
  all dreams, all stone
  all message am I.
