Blowout
20 August, 2022–24 September, 2022
Á sýningunni sýnir Joakim Derlow ný verk sem öll eru unnin útfrá hugmyndum um sögulegt samhengi rekaviðs og tengingar hans við þjóðsögu Grettis Ásmundssonar.
Verkin eru kímið viðbragð við íslenskum sagnaheim og menningu þar sem hann skoðar þá brenglun og þann misskilning sem gjarnan á sér stað þegar erlendir gestir heyra staðbundnar sögur og staðreyndir.
Listamannateymið Ellinor Aurora Aasgaard og Zayne Armstrong sýna málverk og lágmyndir sem hafa skírskotanir til leiktjalda- og kvikmyndagerðar. Ummerki um neyslu einstaklingsins eru í forgrunni ásamt skírskotunum í afþreyingarmenningu sem gefa vísbendingu um hrörnun vestrænnar menningar. Snjallsíminn iCrack sem gerður er úr Wasa hrökkbrauði er auglýstur á sjónvarpsskjá, skuggamynd gerfilims fellur á pizzakassa og Elsa í Frozen hefur undirgengist viðhald listamannanna.

About the Artists:
Joakim Derlow has a research field spanning from military-, survival- and observation techniques, seen through the viewfinder of artistic practice and processing, which strangely
enough have revealed their roots in the modernist thinking and methods of appliance.

It is through his research field that objects, found items, drawings and himself come together to tell a story of fragmented nature. However, it is only through the associations and perspectives of the audience that the narrative becomes complete.
ELLINOR AURORA AASGAARD (1991, NO) & ZAYNE ARMSTRONG (1986, UK/US) have been working together since 2018. Their practice focuses on scenographic approaches to sculpture, and storytelling around the forming and breakdown of communities. Their work has been shown in several exhibitions and presentations, such as: “Bronzed, brassed and coppered.” Sundy, London; “Zum schönen Knie I & II”, Doom Spa Berlin (DE); Radical Film Network Meeting (DE); “Days” Fotogalleriet, Oslo (NO); On&For Production at Nordland kunst- og filmskole (NO); “garageN” Graw Böckler Garage Berlin (DE), Porn Film Festival 17 Berlin (DE). They have recently been nominated for Eckbos Legat’s Jubileumsstipend hosted by the Vigeland Museum, Oslo, and in 2023 they have a solo exhibition “Beni: Under the Influencer”, at Agder Kunstsenter, Kristiansand, Norway, and they will participate in the Triangle Asterides Marseilles (FR).
