‘Measuring Spatial Amnesia’ MORTEN BARKER – photography

‘Columns’ MAGNUS PETTERSEN – sculptures

We are closing this year with a double solo exhibition by two very original artists, who both really challenge their field of art by constantly experimenting and playing with materials, shapes, colours and ways of expressions.

Morten Barker (b. 1972)’Measuring Spatial Amnesia’ is a photographic recreation and discovery of an abstract childhood landscape, serving as an antidote to fragmented autobiographical memory. The works are digital collages and manipulations of appropriated images. The work process involves breaking down landscape elements and manipulation and distorting the landscape’s perspective and dimensions. The landscapes serve as pictorial documentation of a mental journey. The Colour palette draws inspiration from the colour atlas of body fluids to give the landscape its unique colours. This project aims to bridge fragmented memories with a more corporeal memory.

Magnus Pettersen (b. 1983)is making his debut at VÆG. Pettersen challenges the laws of gravity. The raw concrete works seems both substantial and elegant. The columns teases our perception of heavy and light as they are balanced carefully – consisting of blocks of pigmented concrete put on top of each other. In his practice Magnus Pettersen explores the field of tension between the purely aesthetic versus the functional. His oeuvre consists of sculptures, which move in the boundary between art and design; disciplines, which constantly interfere. And that is the essence of his practice: That he do not regard visual art and (object) design as diametric opposites, but as two poles, which create a field of action, and which enable the cultivation and investigation of a concept and an aesthetic without restrictions.

The exhibition is on view until December 22^nd 2023

We look forward to seeing you.
