This fall’s group exhibition at Marbouparken konsthall takes its outset in the meeting between text and image. Text and image have throughout art history coexisted in many different forms and contexts. This exhibition will focus on art works which through their artistic method open up for a fruitful uncertainty and ambiguity, works that force us to read them simultaneously through different languages or with a double gaze. The exhibition will include works by artists active within different artistic practices and will follow a few paths through this wide field.
Image and text make out two different kinds of readings or spaces within the work, close to each other, sometimes contradicting each other, but always creating a kind of rupture or gap which can´t be completely overbridged, creating a poetic disconnection in which the artwork is oscillating in an in-between-space. This space between the spaces is a place for redefinition and negotiation where new understandings and readings can emerge. The exhibition does not have the ambition to write a comprehensive history on text in art but rather exhibit artists who work with text in their art in an interesting way.
Both existing and new works of print, sculpture, installation, video, photography, and other media practices will be featured in the exhibition. An accompanying program of readings and performance will be presented at a later date.
