Dripped c/o Sweden, a collaborative art project co-organized by Filipino artist Noell El Farol and contemporary artists from Sweden works in an area of exchange encounter, and an instance of reconstructing an artwork to an extent of allowing elements of molten metal intervenes in the over-all physicality, character and composition of the work. Works range from photography, digital print, mixed media, drawing on electrolytic metal and silicone. The use of sensual and physically elemental material has strong association with water and glass, allowing these seemingly moving elements to intervene, control, transform and evolve on existing composition in undetermined state between complete and incomplete or “personal” identity and subjective identity. Objects as products of exchange operate as valuable instruments for recording changes in the qualitative atmosphere circulated thru human interactions in the process of engagement. EL Farol responds to this process as participant and records the works that form part of expression of individuals or rituals as part of everyday activities.

Participating artists in this unique collaborative show include:
Katja Aglert, Veronica Brovall, Anna-Karin Brus, Christofer Fredriksson, Christina Eriksson Fredriksson, David Helander, Emil Holmer, Monica Larsson, Stina Östberg, Roland Persson and Camilla Rosberg.
