‘VIRKELIGT/UVIRKELIGT’

at MAriNA GISICH GALLERY, 2025

Virkeligt Uvirkeligt features molten-seeming coagulations of glass, rich in colors which glide and fade and sizzle from lichen green to claret to beige, suspended in a contorted flux of becoming. They hang on ropes, they lay, paralyzed mid-writhe, on steel planes, and they are pinioned by metal lances amid industrial scaffolding.

The two rooms of the exhibition are lit in contrast: one brightly illuminated, the other dim. This countering echoes across formal and conceptual layers. The organicism of the glass is countered by the orthogony of the metal. And the glasswork itself presents contrary characteristics: it appears to be coiling and distending even while remaining still.
