Skånes konstförening driver en konsthall för samtidskonst, kulturevenemang och pedagogik i stadsdelen Södra Sofielund i Malmö Fri entré/Free entry

03/10/2026

See Tremble this weekend at Skånes konstförening!
Open Sat–Sun 12–16.

The exhibition features works by Alberta Whittle, Felix Gmelin and Frida Orupabo.

Alberta Whittle’s 'What Sound Does The Black Atlantic Make?' (2019) unravels the colonial legacy of the North British Rubber Company, turning towards the ocean as a site of memory.

The company’s most well-known product was the Wellington boot, and it is recorded that the factory produced 1,185,036 pairs for the British Army during the First World War. Whittle draws connections between the material histories of the factory and the wider networks of colonialism, capitalism and extraction.

Tremble: Alberta Whittle, Felix Gmelin, Frida Orupabo is open Wed–Fri 13–17, Sat–Sun 12–16.

Frida Orupabo’s nine-channel video installation glares at the viewer in a constant loop. Disarming still and moving images sourced from various archives by the artist flash in a choreographed cacophony.

In one clip, we hear the words, ‘somebody almost walked off wid alla my stuff… stealing my stuff from me don't make it yours, it makes it stolen’. The words delivered by Alfre Woodard in Ntozake Shange’s choreopoem, For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Su***de/ When the Rainbow Is Enuf.

In another, “i am tired of god,” scribbled in jarring, childlike handwriting in red ink, flickers and disappears.

‘The earth is trembling’, observed Martinique-born writer and thinker Édouard Glissant. ‘Today, the world is unpredictable and in such a world, utopia is necessary’, he continued.

In this world of unrest and friction, it asks how resistance takes form, moves, and persists over time. Embracing a Glissantian approach it accepts the ongoing rumbling as a matter of fact, and presses on what it means to live, think, and act within it.

Tremble opens tomorrow, Friday 25.09, 18–23!
Artist talk Saturday 26.09, 14–16.

The exhibition presents works by Alberta Whittle, Felix Gmelin and Frida Orupabo.

Édouard Glissant’s trembling thinking runs through the exhibition as a way of facing systems of terror. To tremble is not to remain still, but to move, to respond, to act, and to open toward what might be possible.

The exhibition follows this movement tethering itself in anti-imperial thought and reaching for potentiality through artistic gesture.

18/09/2026

Join us next Friday for the opening of Tremble!
Friday 25 September, 18.00–23.00

Artist talk: Alberta Whittle and Felix Gmelin
Saturday 26 September, 14.00–16.00.

‘The earth is trembling’, observed Martinique-born writer and thinker, Édouard Glissant. The exhibition takes off from here, presenting works by three artists, Alberta Whittle, Felix Gmelin, and Frida Orupabo.

At the heart of Felix Gmelin’s ‘Farbtest, Die Rote Fahne II‘ (2002) is the question: Can a political gesture be inherited? Gmelin uses reenactment to examine former political movements, particularly traces of 1960s radicalism.

Gmelin will participate in the public programme on Saturday 26 September, giving a lecture that expands on his work ‘Farbtest, Die Rote Fahne II’ (2002), as well as his current research, and practice.

Welcome to the opening of Tremble: Alberta Whittle, Felix Gmelin and Frida Orupabo.
Friday 25 September 18–23.

Felix Gmelin will also participate in the public programme on Saturday 26 September, giving a lecture that expands on his work ‘Farbtest, Die Rote Fahne II’ (2002), as well as his current research, and practice.

FELIX GMELIN (b. 1962, Heidelberg), received his BA and MFA in painting from the Royal Institute of Art, Stockholm.

What does it mean to teach anyone anything? For Gmelin this question is both the subject and the topos—the conceptual space—in which his work operates. In a twofold sense, many of his pieces are exercises in pedagogy: they foreground the act itself without necessarily endorsing its ideological intent, testing the limits of materialisation, and, when the test fails, exposing the act to mockery that can reveal unexpected meanings.

Gmelin is based in Trondheim, where he is a Professor of Painting and Beyond at the Trondheim Academy of Fine Art. Since 1992 Gmelin has taught at a broad range of international art schools, including Konstfack University College of Arts, Crafts and Design, Stockholm, Staatliche Städelschule, Frankfurt am Main, De Ateliers, Amsterdam, International Academy of Art Palestine, Ramallah and the Royal Institute of Art, Stockholm.

His teaching practice mirrors the central concerns of his artistic production: pedagogy, repetition, and the critical examination of action.

Gmelin’s work is held in collections, including: Moderna Museet Stockholm; Kadist Art Foundation Paris / San Francisco; B.P.S. 22 Charleroi, Belgium; Frac Nord-Pas de Calais, France and Van Abbemuseum Eindhoven, Netherlands.
