the kitchen - installation and performance

Realized a while ago that I didn't put up pictures of the formless exhibition last year!
So here they are:

During the opening, I prepared a lot of amuse-geules for the guests, following the big blue book. It was a great success and very tasty! Later on in the evening, people spontaneously started to cook by themselves.
The kitchen worked as a natural gathering place during the exhibition. People met there, had coffee and cookies.

building week

time is here
on friday we will have an informal opening of our formless exhibition
I have bought a fridge on Blocket, 150:-.
I have taken my oven from home to A1, our exhibition space.
I have borrowed a big round table from BI, our institution.
I will build two shelves and choose if I want two small, ugly TV-screens to show my videos, or two big, ugly TV-screens...
I would like nice square ones as we saw at kiasma

my formless project is soon reaching its end...

    • John Lennart Söderberg Entropy är relaterat till det mest sannolika tillståndet. I enkla system kan entropin beräknas exakt med sannolikhetskalkyler.

    • Anna-Maria Hilborn oho! kul vad det kan betyda olika... vi har jobbat med konstnärlig entropi under paraplytemat formless (som även innehållar andra saker). konsten är ju tack och lov svår att beräkna exakt :)

    • John Lennart Söderberg Ja det är tur att konsten går sina egna vägar. Naturen däremot går alltid mot ökande entropi.

    • John Lennart Söderberg Om konstnärerna släpper taget om konsten borde konsten själv gå mot högre entropi dvs mot allt sannolikare tillstånd -- vad nu det kan betyda.

chicken legs in gelatine




















While making a pause in my "blocking" (serching for fridges etc... on Blocket) I put the frozen chicken legs in gelatine today.
I also did a conserve of the feathers, but with vinegar and salt.

Order and disorder

Entropy has often been loosely associated with the amount of order, disorder, and/or chaos in a thermodynamic system. The traditional qualitative description of entropy is that it refers to changes in the status quo of the system and is a measure of "molecular disorder" and the amount of wasted energy in a dynamical energy transformation from one state or form to another.[38] In this direction, a number of authors, in recent years, have derived exact entropy formulas to account for and measure disorder and order in atomic and molecular assemblies.[39][40][41][42] One of the simpler entropy order/disorder formulas is that derived in 1984 by thermodynamic physicist Peter Landsberg, which is based on a combination of thermodynamics andinformation theory arguments. Landsberg argues that when constraints operate on a system, such that it is prevented from entering one or more of its possible or permitted states, as contrasted with its forbidden states, the measure of the total amount of “disorder” in the system is given by the following expression:[41][42]

\mbox{Disorder}={C_D\over C_I}.\,

Similarly, the total amount of "order" in the system is given by:

\mbox{Order}=1-{C_O\over C_I}.\,

In which CD is the "disorder" capacity of the system, which is the entropy of the parts contained in the permitted ensemble, CI is the "information" capacity of the system, an expression similar to Shannon's channel capacity, and CO is the "order" capacity of the system.[40]


Tomorrow I will post my first plan/ map for the exhibition.
Today I will just show you a mini "taking-care-of-things-that-could-be-considerd-as-waist-work" that I did today.
Baking new, fresh bread out of left overs. Three different kinds of old cookies, Grahamsmjöl with "bäst före-datum" 2004 and some regular flour....
looks good, tastes as Skogaholmslimpa :)
