Orgone accumulator at Ricklundgården

16 August, 2023

Jan Jaap Kuiper

On Tuesday, August 22 at 6:30 p.m you are cordially invited to charge yourself with this life-energy in the Orgone Accumulator that Jan Jaap Kuiper has built in the Folke studio at Ricklundgården.

Orgone is a mystical universal life force dreamed up by pseudo-scientist Wilhelm Reich in the 1930’s. It’s a cosmic energy that forms a blueish sphere around the earth, charging all of nature. To charge oneself with this energy Reich developed the Orgone Accumulator – a wooden structure resembling an outhouse, lined with layers of organic material and metal, that captures the orgone radiation and feeds it to the human within.

Jan Jaap Kuiper is a Dutch filmmaker working on a film based on the “cut up trilogy” by William Burroughs. Orgone Accumulator is the second part in his series of installations to explore the spirit of Burroughs by reenacting practices he frequently mentions in his texts.

“The little show with the big heart”

“The little show with the big heart”

The one who waits for something good

We at EMMA’s art education workshop, under the auspices of the KRAM Heritage Fund project, have been working all autumn with our small but very dedicated ensemble.
This has resulted in something we call “The little show with the big heart”.
The premiere takes place at Marsfjäll Mountain Lodge on Friday, January 10.

Book food and your place by calling 0940-70003.

We really hope that we will see each other in the new year and that our little show can set a nice mark and a fun start to 2025.

The last Dinner Club for this year has been completed.

-big THANK YOU to everyone who came on Monday!

Santa’s Christmas Eve food with classic side dishes was on the menu and the evening ended with Bingo!

AN EXTRA BIG THANK YOU to Niklas Andersson who helped us with the porridge! We and all the guests who ate really appreciate your cooking skills and willingness to help. Thanks!
THANKS also to Jonathan Johansson who helped us before serving, your effort was without exaggeration, invaluable.

We have been so incredibly happy that our idea with the Dinner Club has been appreciated. On each occasion we have had full tables, a hall and entrance flooded with clothes and shoes and there has been a loud murmur of people talking to each other. Thanks everyone!
~ We welcome feedback or suggestions for ideas about our arrangements. Have you loved something, want more of a specific event, do you miss us doing something? Please send us an email to: emmassaxnas@gmail.com

Now there are only two occasions of Advent coffee at EMMAS, tomorrow from 08.30 and Thursday 19/12 at the same time.
Tonight is also the last opportunity with the Craft Club with Anna, from 18.00.
Then there will be some Christmas time off during the red days to start with a big bang in the form of a small show, Friday 10 January at the Lodge. More information about this will be available on our channels shortly.

Many thanks to our artist in residence Kyle McKenzie

Many thanks to our artist in residence Kyle McKenzie for your interesting talk on public paintings / murals.
Very interesting to learn about the importance of art in, for us, another part of the world. Kyle has traveled here from Joplin, Missouri, USA, to work on his art.
We were very inspired and it would have been fantastically exciting if Kultsjödalen and Vilhelmina municipality also had a large, public and perhaps historical mural of some kind.

Thanks to Saxnäs Fjällskola who participated.

The artist talk took place yesterday afternoon at EMMAS in Saxnäs.
