    NATHALIE DJURBERG & HANS BERG 25 JANUARY – 26 APRIL 2020 Nathalie Djurberg & Hans Berg, It Will End in Stars, 2018, virtual reality. Courtesy of the artist and Acute Art. It Will End in Stars (2018) is an immersive virtual reality experience combining Nathalie Djurberg’s distinctive sculpted figures with black and white charcoal drawings, text, and an un- settling soundtrack by Hans Berg. The work is a continuation of Djurberg’s interest in archetypal landscapes, evoking fairy tales first encountered in childhood. Viewers begin their journey deep in a forest, entering a clearing to discover a wooden cabin. Inside, a wolf sits in front of a glowing fire – the building’s chintz interior undercut by a creeping sense of unease. Hand-written text, which appears hanging in mid-air, conveys the wolf’s thoughts, merging digital technology with an aesthetic closer to silent cinema. He describes the virtual environment as the ‘shadowside’, delivering a confession that merges themes common in Djurberg’s practice; fear, guilt and animalistic impulse. Leipziger Strasse 60 T +49 30 921 062 460 [email protected] D 10117 Berlin www.jsc.art Painstakingly scanned and animated, Djurberg’s creature is responsive, meeting the viewer’s gaze and responding to their movements. The effect is disconcerting; we are uncomfortably aware of our status as watched intruder. Around the room, objects become portals into alternate dimen- sions: a skull becomes a route into a kaleidoscopic environment, while a shadowy enclave of the cabin opens out into a cavernous animated temple. This dream-like vision ends in a sprawling star-scape, removing any sense of time and space through a suggestion of infinity.

A Thief Caught in the Act (Dirty Owl), 2015 Wooden table, lamp, metal wire, aluminium foil, Ten years after their debut at Giò Marconi, Nathalie Djurberg and Hans Berg have canvas, modelling clay, acrylic paint Table: 82.2 x 180 x 90 cm returned to the gallery space and have transformed it into a mysterious landscape Dirty Owl: ca. 74.5 x 81 x 68 cm inhabited by colourful bird sculptures on tables and enigmatic black and white waterfall animations. In this new body of work the artists continue their play with light and shadow but with a more theatrical impetus. At Giò Marconi the scenery is lit very dramatically: the dark exhibition room is populated by 7 wooden tables that do all come with a spotlight which illuminates several differently sized and coloured birds with small pills. These spotlights do all switch on and off at varying intervals. When turned on, the visitor becomes a witness of the robbery that is taking place right in front of his eyes: all birds have multi-coloured little pills in their beaks which they are about to steal – they are all feathered thieves caught

  • Press Release Tony Oursler in Collaboration with Tony Conrad TC
    Press Release Tony Oursler in collaboration with Tony Conrad TC: the most interesting man alive June 29 – August 10, 2018 138 Tenth Avenue, New York Opening: June 28, 6 – 8pm Lisson Gallery is pleased to present TC: the most interesting man alive, a work by Tony Oursler, in collaboration with Tony Conrad (1940 – 2016). The short feature incorporates a range of cinematic, graphic, narrative and autobiographical approaches to produce a new form of biopic about the late artist Tony Conrad. Conrad was a pioneering and influential experimental filmmaker, musician, composer, artist and educator. Oursler met Conrad in 1979 and performed in a number of Conrad’s films. The two went on to become close friends and collaborators. The work is a performative mixture of written, oral history and improvisation sequences, shot over a period of approximately six months in Oursler’s studio in New York City. The film is structured around various notable points in the multimedia artist’s life from childhood through his formative creative years. It begins with an introduction by Conrad, told over a soundtrack of his one of his avant-garde musical scores, in which he states “You know if you’re talking about your own life, then you’ve got a lot of things you can draw on, you can fall back on all kinds of things you make, you remember. You can’t really go wrong because according to what they say, all stories are autobiographical.” Characters in Conrad’s memory are performed by friends and fellow artists such as Paige Sarlin, Constance Dejong, Joe Gibbons, Maríe Losier, Peggy Awash and Jennifer Walsh.

  • Thebaltimore Museumof Art Presents Nathaliedjurberg
    THE BALTIMORE MUSEUM OF ART PRESENTS NATHALIE DJURBERG & HANS BERG / DELIGHTS OF AN UNDIRECTED MIND First U.S. Museum Presentation of Recent Videos and Sculpture by Acclaimed Swedish Artists BALTIMORE, MD (October 31, 2018)—The Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA) presents Nathalie Djurberg & Hans Berg / Delights of an Undirected Mind, an exhibition of psychologically charged videos, sculpture, and immersive installations by the Berlin-based Swedish artists. Their captivating stop-motion animations embrace Surrealist themes—dreams, the subconscious, and the emotional and irrational—and convey both humor and darkness. This is the first U.S. museum presentation for each of these works. On view February 24–May 26, 2019, the exhibition is presented concurrently with Monsters & Myths: Surrealism and War in the 1930s and 1940s. “Djurberg and Berg’s fantastical videos probe our deepest fears and desires, while upending accepted truths about man’s supremacy in nature and our perceptions of memory, time, and space,” said BMA Dorothy Wagner Wallis Director Christopher Bedford. “The BMA is excited to introduce museum visitors to the work of these two exceptionally talented artists.” Nathalie Djurberg, the driving force behind the creative duo, laboriously handcrafts elaborate environments and characters out of clay, foam, wire, fabric, and paint, resulting in a colorful and unrestrained aesthetic. Recognizing that sound was a critical element missing from her early works, in 2004 she began collaborating with Hans Berg—a successful Swedish composer, producer, recording artist, and house musician. The artists have collaborated ever since, creating dynamic installations and seductive sound pieces that have immense dimensionality and emotional impact. Nathalie Djurberg & Hans Berg / Delights of an Undirected Mind includes three of the artists’ signature stop-motion animated films accompanied by a blend of psychedelic and techno music.

  • Garth Weiser’S Paintings Are Studies in the Pleasures of Process
    MAY 2014 INTO THE GROOVES With richly layered, intricately textured surfaces, Garth Weiser’s paintings are studies in the pleasures of process For Brooklyn-based artist Garth Weiser, painting is an act not of pure spontaneity but of carefully calibrated cannibalization. To realize new works in his ongoing series of abstract canvases, he refers closely to previous ones, often consulting the step-by-step photographs he’s taken during a piece’s progression to document a given effect. No matter if he duplicates a technique or tweaks it, chance inevitably triumphs in the final image. “Even with this ordered routine, I am still surprised by the results,” says Weiser, whose latest paintings are on view at San Francisco’s Altman Siegel gallery from April 24 to May 3l. Over the past five years his creations have evolved from graphic compositions reminiscent of Russian Constructivism to thickly impastoed works with subtle striations-what he calls “interference patterns.” To achieve them Weiser lays thin strips of tape over a canvas and then coats the surface with oil paint. By ripping the tape away and repeating the action (at different angles, in different hues), he conjures a nuanced interplay of color and texture that recalls everything from wood grain to snakeskin. Recently Weiser has experimented with copper leaf, applying sheets of the material to layers of paint and modeling paste and then making rhythmic slices into these strata with a customized crescent knife. “Anything that catches a shadow, I cut apart,” the artist says. Critics and collectors alike are enraptured. Since 2011 Weiser’s offerings at art fairs have regularly sold out, as did his solo show at Manhattan’s Casey Kaplan gallery last year.
