Free flight over the labyrinth
27.01.12
Embracing Perplexity, Ole Jørgen Ness, Galleri Riis, Oslo, 24. November 2011 - 22. January 2012
The Ole Jørgen Ness exhibition at Galleri Riis carries a palpably physical and organic presence. The result is a painterly condition at the very edge of the precipice.
Fragments of an oeuvre
23.01.12
Simen Dyrhaug 1979-2008 Collected works, Simen Dyrhaug, Dortmund Bodega, Oslo, 9. Dezember - 30. Dezember 2011
Chaos still reigns when Dortmund Bodega reopens in a new space with the exhibition Simen Dyrhaug 1979-2008 Collected works. This time around the artist is also cultivated as a figure.
A story from the ‘90s
20.01.12
We Have a Body, Mette Winckelmann, Den Frie Udstillingsbygning, Copenhagen, 3. Dezember 2011 - 29. Januar 2012
Mette Winckelmann’s exhibition at Den Frie is about bodily and artistic emancipation, but misses out on its opportunity to contribute to the current queer-debate.
Modernism 2.0
21.12.11
SLOW, Ilkka Halso, Jaakko Pakkala, Pertti Kukkonen, Lauri Rankka, Kunsthalle Helsinki, Helsinki, 27. Oktober - 20. November 2011
The exhibition Slow at Helsinki Kunsthalle is about form, material and craft. What does this have to do with slowness?
That which remains
21.11.11
Summer Moved On, Artists: Elin Øyen Vister, Lars Skjelbreia, Rina Lindgren, Sverre Malling, Thomas Falstad and Tommy Høvik Curator: Rina Lindgren, Kurant, Tromsø, 16. September - 25. September 2011
The romantic search after the sublime in death is still present in art and the exhibition Summer Moved On at Kurant demonstrates that the theme is far from exhausted
Strategic mumbling
02.11.11
Mumbles, Vibeke Tandberg, NoPlace, Oslo, 6. Oktober - 9. Oktober 2011
NoPlace again replaced "young and alternative" with a more established artist, this time Vibeke Tandberg, who showed new works and launched a new book in the exhibition Mumbles.
Assemblage Degree Zero
01.11.11
Nina Beier, Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Copenhagen, 4. Oktober - 31. Dezember 2011
The works in Nina Beier's exhibition at Charlottenborg are based on unexpected juxtapositions of objects that don't mean anything.
Duchamp’s Poetic Geometry
19.10.11
De ou par Marcel Duchamp par Ulf Linde, Exhibition produced jointly by The Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts and Moderna Museet., The Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts, Stockholm, 30. September - 13. November 2011
Ulf Linde's half a century of work on Marcel Duchamp was presented at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm. Geometry is at the center and Duchamp turns out to be an artist obsessed with the missing eighth.
The transparent exhibition
17.10.11
Seeing is believing, Adel Abdessemed, Abbas Akhavan, Kenneth Anger, Nadim Asfar, Taysir Batniji, Adam Broomberg und Oliver Chanarin, Paul Chan, Zeyad Dajani, Anita Di Bianco, Joana Hadjithomas und Khalil Joreige, Khaled Hourani, Iman Issa, Alfredo Jaar, Nedim Kufi, Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle, Gianni Motti, Adrian Paci, Walid Sadek, Taryn Simon, Sean Snyder, Hito Steyerl, Akram Zaatari, Kunstwerke, Berlin, 11. September - 13. November 2011
The problem with Seeing is believing at Kunstwerke in Berlin can be called an overestimation of the transparent powers of the exhibition as a form to accommodate works of pictorial criticism.
Art and prostitution
07.10.11
Kvinder til salg (Women for sale), The Workers' Museum, Copenhagen, 27. August - 29. Dezember 2011
John Kørner's paintings of women prostitutes are filled with creative energy at the formal level. But the energy doesn't always carry across to the political level.
