新纪元中瑞版画交流展第二站——阿尔加顿工作室

阿尔加顿的展厅

新纪元中瑞版画交流项目

此项目是瑞典西部版画家协会和独立策展人度度联合策划的版画交流项目，从2019年6月到2020年9月间邀请15位中国艺术家到瑞典西部的版画工作室进行为期一个月的驻地创作，他们的作品将从哥德堡启航，在瑞典西部六个不同的版画工作室和展览空间巡回展览。参展的艺术家有在院校任教的老师，也有独立艺术家和独立工作室负责人，是相当混搭的组合。我们希望展示给瑞典观众一个多元化的，有独立思想和风格的中国艺术家群体。
“Next Century” China-Sweden Printmaking Exchange Traveling Exhibitionis held atÅlgården Gallery from February 8th to 22nd.

阿尔加顿的铜版工作室

阿尔加顿的平版工作室

阿尔加顿工作室所在地是最初是建于1647年的一座磨坊，1898-1930年代布罗斯市的自来水厂在这里运行；20世纪后期这个区域已经人去楼空，1973年成立的阿尔加顿版画工作室2000年搬到现址。和之前介绍过的哥德堡版画家协会一样，这是一个由职业艺术家群体共同经营的非盈利组织，由地区政府赞助，目前由110名会员（拥有工作室钥匙的成员），也时常有外地艺术家来访和短期创作。
工作室现有四栋建筑，都是有些年代的历史建筑：
进门的大路左手边第一栋红砖楼建于1918年，曾是布罗斯市电力公司的第二座电站，除了1925和1945年两次翻修改变了大门的朝向，这栋建筑基本上没有什么变化，现在是平版，丝网，搪瓷，木工等技法的工作室。
大路左边第二栋红色的双层木制房子是一个住家房子的构造，一楼为工作室办公室，厨房和客厅兼做会议中心，楼上有两件客房提供给来访的艺术家短期居住。目前已经有多位参加项目的中国艺术家在此驻留过了。
大路尽头的白房子建于1923年，原为水厂过滤装置。现为铜版工作室。
坐落于河上的白墙，黑色马鞍形屋顶的教堂式房子建于1863年，最初正面是灰色石头，20世纪20年代初进行了翻修，形成现在浅色的外观，至今几乎没有什么变化，这可能是布罗斯市现存最古老的工业建筑。现在，这里是阿尔加顿工作室的展览中心。我们新纪元中瑞版画交流展览的第二站就在这里举办。
经过哥德堡市中心的第一站展览后，版画家协会的瑞典艺术家成员也加入到展览中，展览内容更加丰富有层次了。我们二月正在驻地的艺术家郭梦迪，常博文，三月来到瑞典的吕文婷都先后到了现场。

Ålgården Artists Workshops and Gallery (Ålgården Konstnärernas Verkstäder och  Galleri) is located at a historical mill, originally built in 1647; From1898-1930, it was Borås Water Works; Since later 20th century, it had been vacant for some time, until the printmaking workshop relocated here in 2000, since their founding in 1973. Much like Grafik I Väst we introduced in the last article, Ålgården is also a members-run non-profit organization, who is funded partially by the municipal. They currently have 110 members who are key holders, and often welcome visiting artists for short term visits.
There are four buildings at Ålgården:
The red brick house, first on  the left after entering the front gate, was built in 1918 as the second power station for the city of Borås.  Except for the light renovation in 1925 and 1945 which altered the direction of the front door, not much change has been done to the architecture. It now serves as the studio for offset printing, silkscreen and glass fusing.
The second building on the left,the red two-story house, set up as a single-family house, functions as the office and meeting space for the workshop on the firstfloor, and provide two guest rooms for visiting artists on the second floor.Several Chinese artists have stayed here during our Next Century Project.
At the end of the road, the white house was built in 1923, as the filter facility for the waterworks. It now serves as theetching studio.
On the river, the white-walled, blacksaddle-roof house with long and narrow arch windows was built in 1863. In the beginning, the façade was made of grey stone. A renovation in the early 1920s resulted in the current light color façade, and had not changed much since.This may be the oldest surviving industrial building in Borås. It is today the exhibition center of Ålgården,and where the second stop of our traveling exhibition is held.
After our first stop in downtown Gothenburg, 44 Swedish artists from different West Sweden graphic workshops ledby Grafik I Väst also joined the traveling exhibition, making the total numberof participainting artists as 67, further enriching the content of the show.Our Chinese artist-in-residency Guo Mengdi, Chang Bowen and Lü Wenting also visited the exhibition in person.
The Next Century Project is an exchangeproject between Grafik I Väst, the printmakers’ association based in Göteborg,and a collection of West Sweden graphic workshops, including: Ålgården，Litografiska Akademin Tidaholm, Marks Konstgrafiska Verkstad, Skaraborgs KonstgrafiskaVerkstad，Vänersborgs Konstgrafiska Verkstad，KKV Göteborg andBolaget Vardagsbilder, with Chinese aritsts. Between June 2019 and September 2020, 15 Chinese artists are invited to these workshops for a month-long artist residency. Their works will also beincluded in a traveling exhibition starting in Grafik I Väst Gallery, and continue on in six different  locations in West Sweden. This exhibition included 28 pieces from 24 artists, who come from all over China, and with diverse background: some teach in the academies, some are independent artists or run independent studios. Our goal is to present a wide spectrum of Chinese artists who have independent thinking and distinctive styles to the Swedish audience.

The workshopwas founded in 1973 as Borås printmaking workshop and moved under it’s presentname to Ålgården in 2000. It’s runned non-profit by an association of professional artists with support from the municipality and has today about 110 members (key holders). We also offers guests to come and work for a period oftime.

We are beautifully situated at Ålgården by the river Viskan in Borås near the west coast of Sweden. At our disposal we have four larger buildings and two outhouses in a smaller park area. In the maim building we arrange exhibitions by  both national and international artists. We also arrange courses in different techniques. The workshops are divided into three – one for lithography, silkscreen and glass – one building for intaglio printing – andone for a digital workshop, kitchen and guest rooms Just behind a small hillthere is Knalleland where you find all kind of shops.
