I Caused Dreams Which Caused Death. This is my Crime
For his first exhibition at BUGADA & CARGNEL gallery, Norwegian artist living in New York City Gardar EIDE EINARSSON will show a set of new pieces – paintings, photographs and sculpture – through which he keeps exploring, in a wry and minimalist way, society's dubious recesses.
Whether he transposes into large black and white paintings book covers from alternative litterature, themselves taking after post-war abstract painting, or enlarges unexpectedly conceptual pictures taken from police instruction leaflets, whether he reproduces portraits of petty criminals published in newspapers and verging on modernism, or recreates a home-made barbecue grill from American South that seems inspired by his own work, EIDE EINARSSON revisits a fascinating iconography, while questioning this very fascination.
Image: Untitled (Void) 2009, Inkjet on paper (diptych) 34.65 x 52.36 inches. Edition of 3 Gardar EIDE EINARSSON shows, in the form of a diptych, blown-up images from 1970s police manuals prints illustrating how to open a door safely (Untitled (Void), 2009).
Founded by Claudia CARGNEL and Frédéric BUGADA in 2002, BUGADA & CARGNEL (formerly known as COSMIC GALERIE) occupies 500 sq. meters in a free hold industrial building, a former garage form the early 30’s, and represents French and international emerging or established artists.
