HUANG YONG PING AT ASTRUP FEARNLEY MUSEUM, OSLO
|
|
The Chinese art scene has flourished in recent years, and in the course of a short period, has established itself as an important part of the international art world. Huang Yong Ping, whose works are being shown in Norway for the first time, moved to Paris in 1989 and has been a key player in China's 'artistic revolution'. Early on, Huang Yong Ping broke with accepted Chinese artistic expression and began engaging with Dadaism and the works of artists such as Marcel Duchamp, John Cage and Joseph Beuys. He is most well-known for narrative works combining incongruous forms, objects and materials, which stand out as thought-provoking encounters between the art and philosophical traditions of East and West.

RICHARD PRINCE AT ASTRUP FEARNLEY MUSEUM, OSLO
|
|
'I think appropriation has to do with the inability of the author/artist to like his or her own work. Especially if the work is all theirs. I think it's a lot more satisfying to appropriate, especially if you are attempting to produce work with a certain believability, an official fiction let's say. If you take someone else's work and call it your own, you don't have to ask an audience "to take my word for it". It's not like it started with you and ended up being guessed at. The effect you want to produce is not that different from what an audience sometimes experiences when viewing a good movie. And what's that?' Tomorrow Oslovians gets a chance to explore the work of American artist Richard Prince in an exhibition entitled 'Canaries in the Coal Mine'. The exhibition focuses on Prince's paintings from the last two decades.

MOMENTUM 2006: TRY AGAIN. FAIL AGAIN. FAIL BETTER
|
|
Momentum 2006, the Nordic festival of contemporary art held in Moss in Norway, opens on Saturday with a nod to Beckettian absurdity. One of the festival highlights is sure to be Icelandic artist Ragnar Kjartansson's (below) ongoing performance in an old barn, in which he will act out the life of a stereotypically miserable Scandinavian male.
