LB°24 — Program
Daniel de Paula presents his new work in the public spaces of Kiruna.
The new commissioned work combustion / production is inaugurated in connection to the closing weekend of Luleåbiennalen 2024. The work consists of a pavement stone composed of three distinct metals. Part of them come from the iron ore mine in Kiruna. The other part comes from the clock pointers of the clock tower of Kiruna’s first City Hall. And the last group is recovered metal from the process of cremation of bodies in Swedish crematoriums. The metals are melted and cast into a pavement stone installed in Kiruna’s public space during the closing of Luleåbiennalen 2024.
Date: 24 May
Time: 14.00-14.30
Location: Torggatan, Kiruna
Daniel de Paula reflects upon the production of space as the reproduction of dominant abstract ideologies such as capital, property, labour, and value. His practice is intersected by notions of human and physical geography. Read more about Daniel de Paula here.
