Viskleken är en utställning som visas på Växjö konsthall som är uppbyggd kring inbjudningar som inspirerats av leken, Viskleken. Ni vet leken när man viskar en mening till någon som i sin tur viskar vidare till någon annan. Och allteftersom förvanskas vad som sas från början, samtidigt som det finns ett klart samband mellan de som sas först och sist.

Viskleken är organiserad av konstnärerna Ann-Catrin Olsson och Filippa Nilsson Kallhed som båda ingår i Cana - en konstnärsdriven förening som arbetar med att utforska och ta fram olika metoder för att sätta samman utställningar. Cana startade utställningsprojektet med med att bjuda in Tilda Lovell som i sin tur bjöd in Tobias Bradford osv.

Allt som allt presenteras fem konstnärer i utställningen: Tilda Lovell, Tobias Bradford, Oona Libens, Fia Linnéa Emelie Doepel och Hanna Andersson.

Stockholm-born Oscar Gustave Rejander (1813–1875) relocated to the UK in the 1830s. Some twenty years later he abandoned his profession as a painter to pursue a career in photography. Karen Hellman, assistant curator in the Department of Photographs at the Getty Museum talks about the medium of photography in the 1850s – what it was and what Rejlander thought that the medium could do. Rejlander’s position as an outsider allowed him to do what was not expedited, like double exposures, photographic manipulations and retouching. Today he is often referred to as the father art photography, a pioneer experimenting with the medium. We talk about his legacy and how it fits within photo history and about his wife Mary Bull, her role as a model and support running the studio in Kentish Town, London.

Adee Roberson moved to Los Angeles a few years ago. We talk about her connection with the city and its tradition of experimental black artists and spirituality.
