Truth or Dare
02 - 26 Apr 2009
Trond Hugo Haugen, Michael Johansson, Henrik Lund Jørgensen and Jonas Liveröd
What happens to the works of the Skagen Painters, if paint is replaced with video, and the fishermen are replaced with refugees? Which stories are contained in a tool bench that seems to be glued together by tools, shoes and wires? Which stories are concealed in a movie theater without images?
The four artists Trond Hugo Haugen (b. 1975), Michael Johansson (b. 1975), Jonas Liveröd (b. 1974) and Henrik Lund Jørgensen (b. 1975) turn things inside out and attack our conventional understanding of how reality is stitched together. They work within radically different media types covering the field from drawing, photography and sculpture to installations in mixed - and new media. The works range from expressions that are minimal and conceptual to those that are exaggerated and almost surreal.
