press release
Opening Friday January 11 2002 from 17-19
We are proud to present two exhibitions in the gallery.
Check out the exhibitions here http://www.nicolaiwallner.com/exhibitions/Schmidt-Rasmussen2002/Schmidt-rasmussen2002.html
One exhibition is by Christian Schmidt-Rasmussen.
Christian Schmidt-Rasmussen's new paintings are inspired by signs
and advertisements from popular culture. Their vivid colour surfaces
have a brash directness that stems from his unique and expressive
arrangement of colour and form.
One by one the paintings represent a statement. At first glance
one will recognise an inspiration from 70's iconography, as well
as Robert Indiana's well-known 60's work LOVE, but Christian Schmidt-Rasmussen
use different texts which in capsule the complexity of contemporary
emotional life.
In our projectspace we show
Mirakler 3 -
a collarboration project by
Lone Bank, Christina Malbek & Tanja Rau
Mirakler 3 is an installation of cardboard boxes, filled with different
scenarios made out of paper and a huge paper relief on the wall.
The boxes form three large pillars from the floor to the ceiling.
The pillars are each different. One is constructed like an association
of thoughts with elements from one box repeated in the next. Another
pillar has "pillar" as a unifying element of all the boxes, and
the last pillar is more like a comic strip in its narrative expression.
The relief picks up some of the themes and pictures from the cardboard
boxes. It is filled with information and narrative in crisp saturated
colours, e.g. pictures of accidents, funerals, drug addicts, hospitals,
fire, etc. It can be perceived as a picture of Judgement Day or
as political critique of the capitalist society of today.
This exhibition is curated by Birgitte Kirkhoff Olsen
