This Panel piece was original made in the 80’ties by CRES 1 and Goofy from Whap Gang.
It is of course gone now, so they made a recontruction on a olde train.
CRES 1 went to the trainyard and bought a piece from a old train to the recronstruction.

Sabe, More, Cave, Sketch, Even, Cres & Isoe and some more of the best Danish graffiti artist have a show this week in Copenhagen.

I found the cool artist from Paris, in live action in Copnehagen, he did som very nice shawdows and clouds.

MAGNUS WALLIN
EDUCATED
AUGUST 30 – SEPTEMBER 29, 2007

Once Upon a Time, 2007, aluminum, 39 x 22 x 12cm

Galerie Nordenhake is pleased to announce the re-opening of its Stockholm gallery at Hudikvallsgatan, under the directorship of Ben Loveless. For this occasion, the gallery will present an exhibition of new works by the Swedish artist Magnus Wallin. Wallin will show eight sculptures and one new video work which are formally and conceptually representative of his inquiry into the ideology of physical beauty in Western culture.

Wallin’s work takes on the norms that define an ideal body in the history of images. In fact, Wallin was born with a withered arm which has allowed him to personally confront the visual authority of the ideal body. In the works “Intimate“ and “Once Upon a Time“ Wallin uses 1:1 casts of his disfigured finger and arm, respectively, as a basis from which to work. Wallin questions how historical efforts to define and standardize what is physically “normal“ have changed the self’s perception of the body. Thus, the subject’s identity is a product of a social and moral education that stresses basic ‘standards’ of being.

Wallin explores the institutions that propose the distinction between what is ‘normal’ and ‘abnormal’ as natural. This dualism is artificial according to Wallin, used to exclude those who are ‘different.’ In “Lamp,“ an old Art Deco lamp in the form of a dancer has, instead of a shade, the top portion of a skull attached on top. Similarly, in “Institute“ a rib cage has been flipped upside down and lined with a plastic bag. These objects attempt to visualize, in the artist’s words, ‘the structures of oppression,’ aiming at an alternate narrative to the constant classification of the human body.

Magnus Wallin was born in 1965 in Kåseberga, Sweden, he is based I Malmö. This is his third time exhibiting at Galerie Nordenhake. He studied fine art at the Konsthögskolan Valand in Gothenburg and at the Danske Kunstakademi in Copenhagen. Recent shows include “Meet the New You”, Des Moines Art Center, USA (2007), “Black box Magnus Wallin”, Hirschhorn Museum, Washington, USA (2006) “Physical Sightseeing“ at the Kunsthalle Wien/Ursula Blicke Video Archive (2006), “The Moderna Exhibition“ at the Moderna Museet, Stockholm (2006), “Kiss the Frog! The Art of Transformation“ at the National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design, Oslo (2005), “Physical Paradise”, James Cohan Gallery (2002), “Solo”, Tensta Konstahall and Malmö Konsthall (2002), “Physical Sightseeing”, Boras Konsthall and Uppsala Konstmuseum (2001-2000), and “Skyline”, Moderna Museet, Stockholm (2000). During the last years, his works have been presented among other venues at Art Unlimited, Art Basel, Egofugal, 7th International Istanbul Biennial (2001), “Hieronymus Bosch,“ Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam (2001), “Plateau of Mankind,“ 49th Venice Biennial (2001), Impakt Festival, Centraal Museum in Utrecht (2001), and “End of the World & Principle Hope,“ Kunsthaus Zürich (1999).

“I’m deeply superficial” + katalogudgivelse Galleri Tom Christoffersen præsenterer Mogens Møllers separatudstilling: KRYPTO PLASTIK – med skulpturer der vejer 1/2 ton, årtusinder gammel tekst, selvbiografisk fotografi og meget mere. I dag afdækkes alt. Vores forbrugsvaner, gener, økonomi og resultatet skal helst kunne forklares i en hurtig powerpoint-præsentation. Mogens Møller går i den modsatte retning. I stedet for at konstruere områder der krænges ud, bevarer kunstneren steder, som stadig kan være hemmelige, og han skaber rum, som ikke er tilgængelige. Det lyder kryptisk, men netop det at kode en form og et sammenhænge og at skabe mulighed for at koden kan brydes på utallige måder, er det bærende i denne udstilling. Værkudvalget spænder vidt: Tvetydige minimalistiske objekter, der skaber synsbedrag ved at være i ubalance. Støttepiller kendt fra antikkens figurer, der forskydes i tid, skala og sammenhænge, så anordningen i dag vejer 400 kg og mister sin oprindelige funktion. Tekster, der alle er skabelsesberetninger, men som ikke peger på den samme oprindelse. Udstillingen KRYPTO PLASTIK er en rum(me)lig formverden med respekt for den enkeltes tid og tankegods. Den udfordrer vanetænkning og opfordrer os til selv at skabe nye forbindelser. Mogens Møller (1934) er tidigere professor ved det Kongelige Danske Kunstakademi. Af offentlige arbejder i samarbejde med Hein Hensen og Stig Brøgger kan nævnes Stjerner, Aalborg Universitet 1980, Fredens Port, Kbh 1982. Mogens Møller er bl.a. repræsenteret på Statens Museum for Kunst, Malmö Kunsthal, Moderna Museet Stockholm og Sharjah Art Museum, FAE. Kunstneren er blevet tildelt adskillige hædersbevisninger såsom Eckersberg Medaljen (1988), Thorvaldsen Medaljen (1994) og I 1994 blev Mogens Møller honoreret med Statens Kunstfonds livsvarig ydelse. Udstillingen er støttet af Kunstrådets Billedkunstudvalg.
