The Devil's Fidelity

by Robert J. Hughes
Nina Canell, Matias Faldbakken, Cyprie Gaillard, Tim Lee, Mai-Thu Perret, Mark Soo at Galerie Marian Goodman - Paris January 13th, 2012 - February 18th, 2012

A group show is like snippets of a conversation, a series of overheard remarks. Works comment on each other by their proximity to those of other artists. You can get only a sense of someone, as if you had met him or her at a party and exchanged a few words, and positioned that person in relation to the others there. But at least you get to meet someone. It's hard enough for an artist to be noticed today, so the very fine group exhibition at Marian Goodman Gallery Paris gives us a welcome chance to make...

For FischGrätenMelkStand – the final project at Temporäre Kunsthalle Berlin – the artist John Bock has developed a masterful meta-structure within which he installs works by 63 artists. An eleven-meter-tall walk-in steel construction creates a range of spatial situations over four levels, linking the individual works into a kind of Gesamtkunstwerk, or total artwork. Unlike the classic white cube, this scenario offers the works on show anything but a neutral setting. Within a structure t... [more]

Expatriates

Emanuel Almborg, Nina Canell, Karin Hasselberg, Carl Johan Högberg, Malin Lennström-Örtwall, Jenny Lindblom, Magnus Monfeldt, Jonas Ohlsson, Emily Sundblad, Niklas Tafra, Charlotte Wandt at Bonniers Konsthall April 14th, 2010 - June 20th, 2010

Every spring at Bonniers Konsthall, an effort is made to share the work of emerging Swedish artists that are considered to be cutting-edge, contemporary, and altogether de rigueur. The curators this round tried a different spin; they chose to focus on the works of eleven Swedish artists who now make work and reside outside Sweden—in other words, expatriates who have chosen to produce work under the influence of other cultures. Which begs the question: what makes these artists Swe... [more]

Top of the Hill

by E-Slant Team
Nina Canell at Wien Lukatsch Galerie und Buchhandlung für Kunstbücher October 10th, 2008 - December 24th, 2008
Posted 11/18/08

The exhibition Walking on No-Top Hill presents a series of sculptural interludes which furthers Nina Canell's interest in questioning the reliability and fixity of physical forms. Making use of found objects, neon, water and electric devices, the results typically form precarious ad hoc constellations and minimal happenings which could perhaps be understood as a testing ground for empirical reasoning and speculation.The sculpture Nightwalker finds its form somewhere between a walking stick and a cu...
