In her trajectory, Dahlberg has been investigating how narratives are constructed and mediated in relation to political representation, history and identity. This work includes an ongoing investigation into the logic of the archive as a tool for the work of collective memory, process that we can observe in the two installations presented at the gallery. The Sound Archive is a work in progress that comes out of an invitation to be part of a research project between the University in Copenhagen and the major public service media producer in Denmark (DR). For the past few months Dahlberg has been engaged in doing research at the DR Archive (Danish Radio Broadcasting Corporation). This corporation is a license-financed public institution that was founded in 1925. The mission of the archive is to preserve the broadcasts of the national radio as well as its history, dating back to the early days of radio broadcasting. Dahlberg saw in this invitation the opportunity to develop further, the activity of archiving and to go deeper into the studies of its meanings, much related to her work. The work presented in the gallery consist of prints of some of the tapes found in the archive recorded sometime during the 40's and 50's, together with content transcribed and translated upon request from the artist. The second installation, No unease can be noticed, all are happy and friendly, consists of a collection of about 600 postcards sent from Jerusalem to Sweden by tourists, immigrants and travelers between March 26, 1910 and January 24, 1999. |
