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.

Intervention #21 – Matias Faldbakken

September 1 2012 – January 27 2013

“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.

The artist’s book “Side by Side” was first published in 1971 by Koenig Brothers in an edition of 600. This second and larger edition is a reprint. Note on the inside cover at the back of the book: ‘The linens used to bind “Side by Side” were individually hand-marbled by Gilbert & George’. Hence each linen bound cover is unique.

JOHN BALDESSARI, Wrong, [eraser – ca 2010]

JOHN BALDESSARI, Wrong, n.d. [ca 2010]
5 x 7 x 2 cm
eraser, issued in bare plastic bag

Definitively a shopping item for raising money for LACMA, yet interesting enough as a practical example of the artist’s way of thinking. Partly based on John Baldessari’s painting “Wrong” from 1967.
