Dias & Riedweg

Nikolaj Kunsthal - Copenhagen Contemporary Art Center, Copenhagen

An stunningly beautiful, virtuous and alluring experience awaits at Nikolaj, Copenhagen Contemporary Art Center, when one of the leading names on the international art scene, the Brazilian-Swiss artist duo Dias & Riedweg, present their first solo exhibition in Denmark.

Look forward to take in six large, poetic and thought-provoking video works, each revealing quite unique stories about people you may not get to meet every day, but who are all parts of shaping the world around you. These are stories with a multitude of layers and undertones, letting you in on moving personal fates and spectacular events while taking you behind some of the largest and smallest events of world history - all of which are rather hard to shake.

Possible Archices marks the first major Danish solo exhibition by Dias & Riedweg; and it is with considerable pride that Nikolaj, Copenhagen Contemporary Art Center, now introduces the artists to a Danish audience with the exhibition Possible Archives. The exhibition investigates how collective memory and individual identity are defined, maintained and set free – all of it on a backdrop of the most horrible cannibals of the past, the fascinating art from psychiatric patients, and Norwegian recluses.

World premiere
Cold War rhetoric, memory, denial and rediscovery are pivotal points when Nikolaj, Copenhagen Contemporary Art Center, in collaboration with Dias & Riedweg present the world premiere of COLD STORIES.
Cold Stories is a critical play with the political history of our age, a fascinating patchwork of the most powerful voices of newer history presented as a visual YouTube bombardment of inciting sounds, bubbly TV cuts, and marionettes handled by Brazilian ace puppeteer Noguera.

About DIAS & RIEDWEG
Mauricio Dias (b. 1964, Brazil) and Walter Riedweg (b. 1955, Switzerland) live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, have been working together since 1993 and are among the most notable names of the Brazilian art scene, an art scene that is making a strong international name for itself these years.

Dias & Riedweg have participated in key international contexts such as Documenta in Kassel and the Venice and Sao Paulo Biennials; in a Danish context, Nikolaj, Copenhagen Contemporary Art Center, featured their works Moving Truck and Throw as part of the Copenhagen Art Festival in 2012.

Dias & Riedweg will be in Copenhagen from June 1 to 8 and will be happy to give interviews.
