Premi?r!
Fredag 5 maj 19.15
Vita n?tter: T?nk dig en m?nniska
av Stina Nordenstam.
Musik: Stina Nordenstam.
R?ster om katastrofer, trauman, ufon och k?rlek. Minnen, fantasier och ?verlevnad.

N?r Stina Nordenstams T?nk dig en m?nniska presenterades p? Magasin 3 projekt, Djurg?rdsbrunn, 2005, gavs denna beskrivning av henne och verket:

?Stina Nordenstam ?r mest k?nd f?r sin musik och har sedan 1991 givit ut sex full?ngdsalbum. Hon har ?ven varit verksam inom fotografi, film och radio. Stina Nordenstams v?rld karakt?riseras av mots?ttningar och utmaningar: hon sjunger med en ljus och sk?r r?st om de m?rkaste ?mnen. Det vackra och skira blandas med det grova och aviga, utsatthet och v?ld med det innerliga.
I lusthuset p? Magasin 3 projekt g?r Stina Nordenstam en nyskapad ljudinstallation. Det handlar om katastrofer, trauman, ufon, k?rlek och livet i st?rsta allm?nhet. Vi h?r personer ber?tta historier. Men hur mycket av det de s?ger ?r egentligen sant? Dokument?rt ber?ttande blandas med fiktion och nyskriven musik. Verket kretsar kring m?nniskans unika f?rm?ga att ?terh?mta sig efter traumatiska upplevelser. Gl?mska liksom fantiserande, uppdiktning och l?gn spelar en viktig roll. Stina Nordenstam unders?ker m?nskliga f?ruts?ttningar och har valt att anv?nda en del fiktion i framst?llningen, kongenialt med m?nniskans f?ruts?ttningar. Hj?rnan och minnet ?r kreativa, inte bara dokumenterande.
Musiken i verket ?r tillkommen parallellt med textarbetet. det finns ett gemensamt anslag som med Stina Nordenstams ord speglar ?den lite sorgkantade gl?djen ?ver att vara vid liv, och accepterandet av att det inte varar. Som naturen och tiden kring skolavslutningarna i b?rjan av sommaren: bed?vande vackert, men utblommad och f?rbi n?stan innan man hinner blinka.? ?

Thanks,kuhn.
Er,what does it mean?

I don't have the time to translate all that - right now anyway.

But a bio/ press release of some sort?

[sound world]

I got one of those grotesque web translations.It has a certain poetry (and unintentional humour):-

'Premi?r!
Friday May 5, 19.15
White nights: Intends you a people
of Stina Nordenstam.
Musical: Stina Nordenstam.
Votes about disasters, trauman, ufon and eroticism. Memories, imaginations and ?verlevnad.

When Stina Nordenstams intends you a people was presented on trays 3 projects, Djurg?rdsbrunn, 2005, was given this description of her and the agency:

? Stina Nordenstam is most well-known for your musical and has since 1991 given out six ugly length albums. She has also been active within photograph, film and radio. Stina Nordenstams world is characterized of contradictions and challenges: she sings with a light and cuts vote about those darkest matters. The beautiful and skira is intermixed with the coarse and aviga, utsatthet and violences with the devout.
In the desire house on trays 3 projects does Stina Nordenstam a new created ljudinstallation. The acts about disasters, trauman, ufon, eroticism and the life in bigest general public. We consult persons to tell histories. But how a lot of of the the says is actually genuine? Documentary storytelling is intermixed with fiction and new typed musics. The agency loops around the people's unique ability to recover itself after traumatiska experiences. Oblivion like fantasizing, uppdiktning and lie plays an important role. Stina Nordenstam examines human conditions and has chosen to use a part fiction in the request, kongenialt with the people's conditions. The brain and the memory are creative, not only documenting.
The musics in the agency are been added analogly with the text work. the exists a common appropriation that with Stina Nordenstams words reflect? the little sorrow trimmed the blessing over being wide life, and accepterandet of that the does not last. As the nature and the time around the school closure at the start of the summer: deafening beautiful, but utblommad and past almost before man has time to blink.? ?

Also,is Sweden in CET or CEST now (or next Sunday morning?)

We have Summer Time in Sweden now, so it should be CEST.

In other words Stockholm, Berlin and Paris are one hour ahead of London.

Here is also a slightly less grotesque translation taken from the Magasin 3 Projekt-site:

Artist, born 1969, lives and works in Stockholm

Stina Nordenstam is best known for her music. Since 1991 she has released six full-length albums. She has also worked with photography, film and radio. Stina Nordenstam’s world is characterised by conflicts and challenges. In a clear and fragile voice, she sings about the darkest of subjects. The beautiful and the brittle is intermingled with the coarse and the awkward; vulnerability and violence with the heartfelt.

In the Magasin 3 Projekt gazebo, Stina Nordenstam presents the new sound installation "T?nk dig en m?nniska" (Imagine a person), which deals with catastrophes, traumas, UFOs, love and life in general. We hear the voices of people telling their stories. How much of what they say is actually true? Documentary narration blends with fiction and newly composed music. The work centres round the unique human ability of recovering from traumatic experiences. Forgetting and fantasizing, fiction and lies play a vital role. Stina Nordenstam explores human conditions and has chosen to use some fiction in her representation, congenial with the human condition. Our minds and memories are creative; they do not simply record. There are many stories, perhaps mainly in the USA, about people being abducted by aliens in UFOs. People have given detailed accounts of abuse, which occasionally have lasted for years.

She created the music for the piece at the same time as she was working on the texts. There is a common touch that, in Stina Nordenstam’s words, reflects "the somewhat black-edged joy of being alive, and the acceptance of the fact that it will not last. It’s like nature at the time before the school summer holidays: overpoweringly beautiful but it fades and ends almost before one has time to bat an eyelid."

The documentary in contrast to the fictitious is central to Stina Nordenstam’s artistic practice. She is located in between these two fields, a striking example of which is her new work for Magasin 3 Projekt. A previous autobiographical exploration is her record People Are Strange. Stina Nordenstam questions the idea that one’s "own" history makes for more personal or true art. For her record, she reworked and appropriated several popular songs. She suggests that everyone, despite one’s point of departure, has to work through layers of recognition in order to reach an authentic and personal expression. Intuitively, she seems to work with perhaps the most difficult subject an artist can tackle: challenging the idea of taste by constantly demanding of the viewer or listener a reappraisal of the familiar.

Stina Nordenstam has a reputation for being media shy. She seems to be uncompromisingly rejecting of, or perhaps completely uninterested in, media exposure. For more than a decade she has declined to give interviews, appear on television or be photographed. Instead, she circulates her own images in which she wears wigs and looks different each time.
