ENTANGLED_PAPERWORKS

NILS STÆRK get back to their normal opening hours and open the exhibition Entangled_Paperworks. The exhibition is open to the public and all necessary precautions according to the health regulations will be followed.

The exhibition presents paper-based works by the artists: Gardar Eide Einarsson, Runo Lagomarsino, Eduardo Terrazas, FOS, Michael Kvium, Tove Storch, Carlos Amorales, and Ingvar Cronhammar.

The associative links between the works in the exhibition Entangled_Paperworks are legion, but common to them all is a return to the basic – but also fragile – point of departure in terms of material. The works in the exhibition can be appreciated for their processual insight, their intimacy, and direct approach – in drawings, we seek truth rather than power. Paper is at the root of the majority of artistic practices and their development; it is inextricably linked to the development process relative to new artistic departures. Paper is used for both registration and rationalisation. It may constitute a work and be used as currency. Paper is easily disseminated across national borders; it can be mass-produced and penetrate otherwise closed systems. Historically, paper is the very foundation of our information culture – and will survive its collapse. In times of crisis, we revert to essentials, we cut to the bone, and use what is at hand.
