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.

Culture is for everyone

Culture is for everyone

It is not so easy for everyone to get out to various events or functions, so we took some equipment with us and visited the nursing home in Saxnäs yesterday.

Proudly presents Inga-Wiktoria Påve

Ricklundgården proudly presents @ingawiktoria from Lannavaara in Kiruna municipality.
Inga-Wiktoria works as an artist and paints and works with duodji.

She is also an art teacher and Sami teacher and has studied leather & textiles at the Sami education center in Jokkmokk.
“Here in the annex, I have been working on paintings that will be shown at a solo exhibition in January in Oslo.
It has been peaceful to be here and I have thought a lot about the landscape, including how people traveled by boat over Kultsjön in the old days.”

Inga-Wiktoria is with us in residence and has received a scholarship from Swedish Draftsmen.

We humbly thank you for the visit and wish Inga-Wiktoria all the best with the exhibition in Norway, we hope to see you again!
