Tor-Magnus Lundeby

Mogadishni Cph, Copenhagen

The leisure club MOGADISHNI is pleased to announce "Blue Sky" by Tor-Magnus Lundeby. In the exhibition, Lundeby will present wallpaintings + paintings on aluminum.

The imagination prevailing in Tor-Magnus Lundeby's visual world is wide ranging, and motifs can be derived from such disparate sources as TV games, astronomy and electronic music. The titles are often borrowed from song titles and record jackets. The technique of using brush pens and compasses harks back to a boy's room. The aesthetic, in fact, recalls Tor-Magnus Lundeby's own childhood during the late '60s and early '70s in its colourfulness and decorative clarity, hedonism and escapism. His work "Bungalow Wall of More or Less Fame, Extended", featured in ARS 01 at KIASMA, is a prime example of the artist's preoccupation with music.
Although Tor-Magnus Lundeby's perspective often seems to be from outer space, his paintings have elements of private inner pictures.

"I love inventing sites. They mainly appear in paintings and drawings as pure imaginative sketches and views, sometimes more detailed like an architect's plan drawing or some construction of an engineer on acid (prof. Balthazar). Other times they are more ambient like a view from above or of the sky. Music can be such a trigger for these imaginations, and I have so far, in titles, related a lot of my works to the widely including electronic music genre. Later on I have used more nature linking titles though they are often spiced with more text samples from the electronic music menu. The closest I've been to making a real site is the site specific show at Moderna Museet Projekt (MMP) in Stockholm early 2000. 'Loony in the Sky with DJs - extended remix installation' is the title of a ficticious visual record shop dedicated to the DJ culture. The installation was a remix compilation of an earlier painting called 'Loony in the Sky with DJs'. The different parts/tracks varied more or less from the original painting, which also was included in the space."
Tor-Magnus Lundeby, 2000

After the opening there will be a release of the publication "The Role of the curator" + party (KLUB BLOB) on the floor downstairs from the gallery.
