This exhibition catalogue shows photographs of installations almost always including a human and drawings of the conceptual artist Erwin Wurm from Vienna, Austria (b.1954). A certain dematerialization can be noted in his work over the last few years. There is a transition from the material sculptures of the early 1980s , in which he used materials from his carpenter shop such as wood or metal, to the instruction-based pieces of the second half of the 1990s. He pushed the envelope in order to expand his notions of sculpture, whilst increasingly bridging the gap between art and everyday life. He evokes the questions: ‘When does an object stop being an object? At what point does it become a performance?’

Here are the collages and paintings of contemporary surrealist artist Gudrun Åhlberg. Included are her renowned “feminine landscapes,” fragments of female bodies juxtaposed with bits of natural landscapes. Also illustrated is another technique that blends cut-out color pictures on magazine paper with decalomanias, a technique similar to that used by Max Ernst. Her work is at once poetic and full of horror, depicting the precarious situtation of mankind.

In Ærtebjerg’s images, dark sihouettes and white figures of Yves Tanuy-like form are located in an indefinable, sometimes almost cartoon-like universe, where coloured bubbles create an atmosphere of lightness and cheerfulness. The figures, which are for the most part human, though generless, are in several of the pictures linked together in playful couples that tend towards the erotic. In other paintings the figures transform into organic, growth-like elements.The various metamorphoses that occur emphasize the sensation of a magical dream world.
