AVAL exhibition 27th of august – 27th of september
AVAL (center for sustainable art materials/practises)’s reading group is making an exhibition together. During almost a year they have trough reading relevant texts amet every month to discuss how to have a sustainable/ regenerative art practice. This is the time for them to show the complexity of this question by letting their art works share a room.

A video version of the piece will be available through a qr code during the exhibition period.

Queen of Swords
11 August – 11 September, Huset for Psykisk Sundhed, Hans Bogbinders Alle 3, Amager
Regroup members Anna, Bess Barkholt, Kajsa Karlsson and Myrto Vratsanou come together in this exhibition. Over the past year, they have been a feminist support group for one another.
In the spirit of Queen of Swords (tarot card) they have balanced the private and the public, the strategic and the immediate, the outward-facing and the inward-turning, the sarcastic with the sincerely vulnerable. They draw a card at random, but of course it was meant to be, the colored textiles on her cloak, the seated position, reflective yet confident, and perhaps something phallic can be discerned.
This is a semi-public exhibition, given the somewhat inaccessible address — but you are of course welcome, as long as you write to Anna ( phone nr +45 24 25 80 66 ) to book a time. There will probably be a finnisage on the 11th of september, details will come later. At the finnisage, Kajsa Karlsson will perform her piece You Have to Stop Talking About It. This is the premiere of the work, which explores compulsiveness within an artistic process.
Don’t look at me gallery 2026 maybe you can find some hints
This is gonna have to be a bit cryptic. Inspired by the hidden layers of Anabela Veloso’s important contribution to the gallery’s evolvement and programme we will play a little game. If you can figure out who holds any of these positions at Don’t Look at Me Gallery, you can try and message her (e- mail, signal, pixelfed, there might be a website with contact information, whatever you can find). And at that time maybe she will have figured out a time in the summer when most people are out of town. And also a location.

Painter (Not artist, or maybe a tiny bit, it’s difficult to avoid. Don’t contact the invited participating artists, they are all very busy. You can try. Several of them are not really replying to my messages.)
Founder
Technical assistent (Some artists brought their own technical assistent, I hope they don’t know what is going on. When I’m recalling what happened I’m seeing clearly that they were wearing discreet small head phones, but I’m not certain about telling you this, it could just be a scenario I’ve created in my own head. I don’t want to just make things up, then other information might seem less legible. Let’s just say it’s probably limited how much information you can get out of them.)
Student assistent
Janitor
Pr person
Dropped out of school lawyer, 57 ects points, law, University of Stockholm (It’s good enough, I can’t be picky because of the economy of this establishment)
Hobby psychologist (I don’t need to explain why we need this right?, it might be a bit confidential+ see above)
Favorite and most popular guest, also very dominant, be careful, seriously. (It’s a rabbit) (You can do whatever you like with this piece of information. He was called Hubert, I miss Hubert and I don’t know where he is, and rabbits don’t live for that many years. Let me know if you find him, I’ll attach an image.)
Imaginary priest as the actual priest got burned out. (It’s free to talk to a priest, so I figured it was a good way to save some money compared to real therapy, I don’t think their confidentiality agreement includes God, so that is worth considering before revealing too many things. I want to preface that this line of communication demands you have a very strong belief, this priest is also a bit of an amateur, she just had to jump in with very short notice, no one else was available.)
There have also been many consultants, but most of them are not informed about the summer secret, so I advise you talk to someone else.
