Installation view: Showpiece, Galleri Nicolai Wallner Copenhagen, DK). Curated by pro tempore.art
Showpiece was an exhibition in motion, presenting artworks within the structural framework of a somewhat performative presentation. For this exhibition, pro tempore.art was interested in exploring how it becomes increasingly more difficult to distinguish between an artist, their piece and the relationship between them. Showpiece was an experiment in exposure and what it means to be exposed as an artwork and artist simultaneously.
Svovlgul Sol was originally made for the artist book Atlas published by Tacet Press in 2017. The publication combined diary entries with notes on colours, geographic- and linguistic navigation. Like cartographic maps in an atlas, the publication contained 13 unfolding photographs that had been shot over the course of thirteen months. The structure of the publication was a colour gradient that gradually read from underexposed to brighter and more colourful –– culminating in Svovlgul Sol, an overexposed and burned out landscape.
