This autumn, ed. will present its next ed.itions project. This time it will be a series of silk screen prints signed Cilla Ramnek. Ramnek is an artist who works with a variety of expressions. The material is what always defines her art, what it all emanates from and what sets the borders and points out the possibilities. It has led to border-crossing artworks in all materials - huge artworks made out of small plastic beads, textile patterns, collages of every kind. And of course the today well known tile floor of the café Saturnus in Stockholm. In 2013 she was one of three curators behind the exhibition Home Sweet Home at Lijlevalchs, a sumptuous, lush, personal presentation of Swedish design history.

Her work can be seen as if sprung "from another world, an alien civilization," wrote the author Kristian Petri in connection with her latest exhibition. "Cilla then presents us with the wreckage she has found. Her task has been to reconstruct the wreckage and try to make us see a new whole, to be able imagine the lost ship behind the rubble. The choices behind all these items are controlled by a kind of perfect pitch for form and structure. "

ed.itions:ramnek will be presented at Affordable Art Fair Stockhom, 1-4 October. The printing will be carried out by silk screen expert Catarina Landberg.

Cilla Ramnek was born in 1959 in Stockholm. She studied textile at the Royal College of Arts, Craft and Design and has later been an adjunct professor at the same faculty.
