Daniel Jensen

ALP / Peter Bergman, Stockholm

The 'Sensory Deprivation' of the show's title, refers to the self-inflicted or enforced isolation of the mind in a darkened room, or perhaps even a floatation-tank. These are restful but also hallucinatory spaces. Jensen's work brings together material as varied as science fiction, discarded decorative items, defunct technology and folklore.


comunicato stampa

PETER BERGMAN is delighted to present Daniel Jensen’s second solo show at the gallery.

Daniel Jensen’s latest sculptures are like creatures wanting to speak for themselves - but what can they speak of? They are otherly beings and have no story. They have emerged, both as objects and spirits, to command our attention and sympathy. They test our own sense of belonging by provoking negative judgements, and so challenge our own human veneer and a deeper idea of ourselves.

The sculptures represent a longing for intimacy as much as repressed feelings of self-loathing, and so are difficult to ignore, emotionally as well as intellectually. They are the inhabitants of the unconscious now summoned to order. Even though they may seem primitively formed from nature’s leftovers, they have emerged out of this darkness with hidden smirks. Maybe because they know of their own insignificance, or maybe because they are the rulers of a kingdom invisible to us.

The ‘Sensory Deprivation’ of the show’s title, refers to the self-inflicted or enforced isolation of the mind in a darkened room, or perhaps even a floatation-tank. These are restful but also hallucinatory spaces. The title could also be said to point towards an origin for these creatures; a place where warmth, light and touch are transformed into an infinite cosmos-like darkness.

Daniel Jensen’s work brings together material as varied as science fiction, discarded decorative items, defunct technology and folklore. With this culture on board, it encircles and lands at the edge of something we still might call Nature. Daniel Jensen was born 1972 in Malmö and educated at Oslo National Academy of the Arts and Valand School of Fine Art.Recent exhibitions includeMaria Grazia Del Prete, Rom (IT), 1646 Den Haag, (NL), Knust Kunz/Sabine Knust, München (D), Kunstvereniging Diepenheim (NL), as well as Galerie Mikael Andersen, Copenhagen (DK).
