    Margret H. Blondal & Lars Laumann

    BerlinmurenOn exhibit February 14th through March 29th, 2009
  • Opening Reception February 13 from 6:00 to 9:00pm.

    This exhibition takes the form of two intertwined solo exhibitions. Margrét H. Blöndal works primarily in a sculptural medium that utilizes found domestic elements to create installations that suggest quixotic reference or function. In their materiality they are most often light and somewhat ephemeral, evoking an existence in a marginal space or uncompleted form. While Lars Laumann has repeatedly turned to popular culture, mining the Internet for material and content for his videos. However it does not appear that the interest is explicitly the vagaries of pop culture but rather an engagement in an increased ability of the present-age to connect and construct systems of reference. The topics in two of his most significant works – Morrissey Foretelling the Death of Diana (2006) and Berlinmuren (2008) – utilize individuals with a personal interest in reconfiguring commonplace meaning.
