“Punky Pipilotti Rist find the home”
“Ulrika Stahre see a live retrospective at the Louisiana”
“The swiss artist Pipilotti Rist broke through with the works is Sip my ocean and Ever is over all, in the middle of the 1990s, and since then she has been in art’s living room furniture with anarchist dadaism, constantly evolving and tänjande on the borders, in particular videokonstens.”
“Those who were there remember is probably still how the Tray 3 in the spring of 2007 it was turned into a kuddrum, a relaxing place to be surrounded by the large installation Gravity, be my friend, which filled the entire downstairs with the projection in the roof.”
“Konstbetraktande in the lying position means not only relaxes, the signals of the rest goes through the whole body. It is purely sinnesutvidgande: the visual arts are more physically, sensually. Perhaps the experience is likened to the proximity that music can create, or sculpture, and architecture. Art becomes an embrace, one body.”
“Now that’s not all, Pipilotti Rist makes big kuddrum to feel embraced in, on the contrary. In Louisiana only displays the work of 4th floor to mildness in this way. Now with real beds, if you have to be careful with the details. The film is recorded in the river Rhine you are in Switzerland, but we find ourselves to bed. At an art gallery and below the water surface, at the same time. Just sometimes we get download air.”
“The iconic work Sip my ocean, which Rist sings Chris Isaak’s ballad Wicked game at the same time, as we follow her among the coral reefs in the Red sea, was purchased by Louisiana in 1996. 4th floor to mildness is a later companion piece, now perhaps darker but still likeable. The music is composed by Soap & skin, artist Anja Plaschgs projects. The body is toned down to the benefit of the plants, the bubbles in the water, the rotting undergrowth.”
“Music is important in the Rists works, and was her way into the visual arts. The oldest works, as shown on this incredibly neat cohesive retrospective, is somewhat home-made music videos. “
“Already in them you can see the theme that the Lawyer then continued to work with the first-hand portrayal of the body. It was the beginning of her konstnärskarriär very body, blood, sex. In Louisiana swallowed the visitor is already right at the entrance into Pipilotti rist’s body and then churned out through the anus. “
“This is an athletic art has in recent years become increasingly close to nature. This is rarely the views, but works in flood now over of external life, flowers, thickets, rivers and streams.”
“Movies, projected in handbags, in round shapes, molnformer, paintings, and so on are a fundamental component of the Åbn my listening (”Open my glade”), the music and sound is yet another and the architecture and room the third. “
“the Exhibition idea is home, the different rooms have different function and mood and two clear home (at least) are also built. One is a minimodell of a house with a garden, the other is a large apartment full of furnishings. Everything breathes the symbol. The room, the home, can remind a little bit about Peter Greenaways large exhibition at the Malmö konsthall in 2001, but without the pretentious envelope. “
“There is nothing whatsoever pretentious in Pipilotti rist’s art. Punk has possibly the crown smoothed out and got smoother edges, but it is still there. As a punkballad maybe.”
“Suburb brain, the great husmodellen, is perhaps her most striking works in Louisiana, thus also the least interesting. A kärnfamiljs and consumer criticism that is also available in other places but never take over, never be the first to be decoded.”
“The close, almost claustrophobic, peakar in fact, the Pixel of the forest and turns into its opposite. Here you will find long rows of enlarged cells, each with a lamp corresponding to the pixel in a movie. A film that we would perceive from 200 meters away possibly, but who in the room will be a color – and ljudspel. We are giants in relation to the cells, but small in relation to the film.”
“It is a very fascinating works, enclosing, trust and the experience becomes almost religious. For at the same time as it is so short sighted it may be, it is just the opposite: it opens itself far, far away, theoretically. “
“Comparisons with Yayoi Kusama’s art is here at your fingertips n– dark room, a breathtaking but simple beauty – but here are several layers, of events and sounds. Pipilotti rist’s Åbn my lysing is not a instagramutställning. In addition, the for live. There is a whole, whose details are certainly exciting but it is subordinate. Much like at home.”
