Hunger for Aggression, 2014
Mixed media. Variable dimensions.
Solo show, Oslo Kunstforening, Oslo, Norway.
Hunger for Aggression raises subjects such as the pros and cons of cultural heritage, nationalism, fascism and its symbols, imagery and aesthetics. The exhibition takes its starting point in the private sphere, in the safety of our home. Drawings, sculptures and manipulated ready-mades forms an installation around the anatomy of fear raising subject matters that we usually only encounter through the media, hardly ever close to home.
The exhibition is generously supported by the Fritt Ord Foundation and Norske Kunstforeninger.
The series of nine drawings, In Search of an Enemy, is included in the collection of SMK, the National Gallery of Denmark.
Hunger for Aggression was shown at V1 Gallery, Copenhagen, Denmark (2013).
