BJNilsen-Dr.Björn Quering-Darri Lorenzen-Finnbogi Pétursson-Ingólfur Arnarsson
A collaborative exhibition titled OPEN will be on view at the Living Art Museum from 11.10 - 22.11. The exhibition will open at the opening ceremony of Sequences Real Time Art Festival. The artists working on this exhibition are Darri Lorenzen,( initiator of the collaboration), Ingólfur Arnarsson, Finnbogi Pétursson, BJNilsen and Dr. Björn Quiring.
OPEN is the first event in the extensive program of Sequences festival. In the evening of the opening day, at 9.30-11.30pm, the artists will collectively perform a remake of an LP record from the collection of the Living Art Museum: BÍLFERÐ NR.1 / AUTOFAHRT NR.1 by Dieter and Björn Roth from 1979. The original piece is a sound recording of a road trip made by Dieter Roth and his son Björn. In the remake the artists will attempt to do the same i.e make and record another road trip that will be played on this occasion. On Sunday 12th of October at 4pm, Dr. Björn Quiring will give a lecture titled: "Reframing the Open Archive: A Live Show" and BJNilsen will perform a sound piece.
OPEN is the 4th exhibition at The Living Art Museum this year and the last one in a series of 30th anniversary celebrations. The exhibiting artists this year all worked with the unusual conditions of the museum; its collection and history being archived within the exhibition space. The intervention of the artists in this exhibition, into the working conditions of the museum, emphasizes the line between the different roles and activities of the Living Art Museum and creates a particular viewpoint for its guests.
"A museum has basically always been composed of an archival collection on the one hand and a gallery on the other, that is, an open, accessible area and a closed, interior area. This arrangement has a history translating in oblique ways inclusionary and exclusionary power struggles which both frame the museum itself and open it to outside forces. Art has to engage with this structural tension between gallery and archive in one way or another; for a long time, the artwork has thus been conceived either as a mimesis of an essential life outside the museum or an outburst of free spontaneity emanating from the artist’s interior life into the gallery space. Either alternative nowadays no longer seems to work, for a variety of (mainly technical) reasons. In their stead, what are the chances of producing art that would situate itself neither on one side of the barrier nor on the other? What strategies would be appropriate for its passage toward an open space that is located neither outside nor inside the archival framework?" Björn Quiring
