Kirstine Roepstorff: Wunderkammer of Formlessness
Museet for Samtidskunst, Oslo, Oslo, 10/23/2011 - 02/26/2012
		
		
			
				ABOUT			
		
						
					
					The National Museum presents the Danish artist Kirstine Roepstorff (b. 1972) with a comprehensive solo exhibition.
Imagine the most beautiful and magnificent collages – dazzling in their enormously rich range of materials and techniques. 
They consist of textiles, objects, paper, stickers, colours and words that are glued, woven, held together with needles and sewed together. The subjects of these partly abstract, partly figurative works range from contemporary politics to mystery, fantasy and the grotesque. 
Roepstorff makes use of the aesthetic techniques of the avant-garde, such as collage and montage, and combines them with the neo-avant-garde appropriation art of the 1980s. She fearlessly tests the limits of what her material can actually tolerate. The exhibition is a collaboration between Museum für Gegenwartskunst Basel and the National Museum. 
Curator: Andrea Kroksnes
