Wishing
Pen
Wish upon a star and your dreams may come true. Watch the elusive
shooting star travelling on its endless journey through the vastness
of a frozen universe. Then why not turn the universe upside down
and watch it return. Use the pen to express your wishes in writing
and allow the star to turn your dreams into reality... |
Peter
Callesen
Callesen's interest in memory and childhood has led him to re-interpret
classical fairy tales in an adult context. He often works with paper,
on a variety of scales, unfolding mesmerizing narratives. In the
performance 'Infinity and I' a paper star lifted into the sky by
helium, and floated upwards as if set to float forever on to infinity.

Ophelia, 2006
Mat Collishaw
limited edition of 2500 |
|
Ophelia
An oneiric version of the drowning of Ophelia from Shakespeare's
Hamlet. Relive her poignant last moments as she floats amongst the
clinging water weeds. Her movement suggest the possibility of escape,
but the endlessly repeating action reminds us that she is trapped
forever in her watery coffin, always on the brink of death. |
Mat
Collishaw
Collishaw is the author of disturbing images. From
his mastery in mixing modern technology, Victorian photographic
equipment, and antique frames there emerges a world of unsettling
visions, of orchids festering from syphilitic blisters, mechanised
zebras recalling mythic encounters, and bored fairy children hanging
out among gutter garbage.

The Big Flower, 2006
Kathrine Ærtebjerg
limited edition of 2500 |
|
The Big Flower
A mercurial landscape is dominated by a luscious, fleshy, pink flower
which appears to be sweet and edible. At the same time, its lurid
colouring and voluptuous form could indicate its poisonous and treacherous
nature. The movement of the silhouetted figures towards and away
from the flower underlines the contradictory nature of this simultaneous
attraction and repulsion. |
Kathrine
Ærtebjerg
Fantastical landscapes dominated by oversized animals, morphed nonhuman
silhouettes and unrecognisable flowers and foliage dominate Ærtebjerg's
paintings which deny a definite narrative. And though formally complex
and deftly painted they seem to represent a childlike mentality
to organising life and comprehending reality, whilst offering a
capricious retreat from the everyday into the strange and unsettling. |
