Comprising over 10,000 items collected by Song Dong’s mother over five decades, ranging from a section of the house to metal pots and plastic bowls to blankets, bottle caps, toothpaste tubes and toys.

“Untitled (Plastic Bag / B.F.) 1-5 are a continuation of the artists’ ‘container’ works previously involving wardrobe lockers, VHS cassettes, liquor bottles, newspaper vending machines and empty Marshall cabinets. With these works Faldbakken tries, in various ways, to collapse the difference between sculpture and mould, container and content. These ‘plastic bag drawings’ are an ongoing series which the artist has presented in various forms and configurations, sometimes framed uniformly and precisely, often simply taped to the wall with packing tape. The bags are printed with cropped newspaper images which the artist then further works on with an abbreviated text drawn sketchily with marker pen. In this case the ‘writing’ says B.F.”

Breuning possesses a vivid imagination with little, if any, reserve. Breuning takes us considerably further into the contradictions of his own position within the Western contemporary art world: problems of human existence are seemingly addressed, but, one often wonders, on the basis of what lived experience? With an undeniably self-ironic undertone Breuning confronts us with the consequences of a media-modelled, Pop-culture society. For this work, Olaf Breuning employs his signature technique of juxtaposing photographic imagery to create a fantastical composition of human and animal hybrids arranged around the planet Earth.

“A small selection of the work of Matias Faldbakken (Denmark, 1973) will be showing in the museum’s Klaverblad spaces. Faldbakken is known for his radical, provocative attacks on existing traditional structures and value systems. You could call him a conceptual saboteur, who expresses his ideas through literature and visual art forms, such as sculpture, installations, photography and film. With works like Untitled (Locker Sculpture #2) and Untitled (Garbage Bag #21) his presentation combines a convincing aesthetic with provocation and vandalism.” Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, Rotterdam, Netherlands.
