Art Talk
Art Talk: Carsten Höller
It is with great pleasure that we presents a conversation between the renowned artist, Carsten Höller, and former director of Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Daniel Birnbaum. The two have known each other for decades and have worked together on several exhibitions and book projects.
The conversation takes as its starting point Carsten Höller’s exhibition Reproduction at CC, and will go on to unfold themes such as the exhibition as an experiment, the artwork being ‘unsaturated’, and notions of reproduction in a broader context.
The curator of the exhibition Jannie Haagemann moderates the conversation, which takes place in English, and will be open to questions from the public.
We recommend, that you visit the exhibition beforehand, so please come early.
The talk will take place in Höller's exhibition in CC's Hall 1, and can be experienced after payed admission fee.
We are looking forward to seeing you!
Reproduction
In the exhibition Reproduction at CC, Höller examines the theme of ’reproduction’, adopting an approach which is at once scientific and artistic. Reproduction starts with cell division, and it is precisely the principle of division that underpins his immersive installation in CC’s large Hall 1. The hall is transformed into a large biology-based playscape where, for example, guests are encouraged to crawl through the pips of a die, and where slow-moving carrousels and corridors of mirrors affect our sensory perceptions. The second part of the exhibition deals with the way behaviour is encoded by regulatory mechanisms already in infancy, and how childhood memories are stored in the brain. The exhibition focuses on reproduction, for better or for worse, and nature’s amazing ability to perpetually create and recreate itself. Read more about Reproduction here.About Carsten Höller
Carsten Höller was born in Brussels in 1961 and lives and works in Stockholm, Sweden, and Biriwa, Ghana. Using his training as a scientist in his work as an artist, Carsten Höller’s primary concerns relate to the nature of human perception and self-exploration. He has undertaken many projects that invite viewer participation and interaction while questioning human behavior, perception and logic. His major solo exhibitions include: Bundeskunsthalle, Bonn (2018); Aventura Mall, Aventura, (2018); Centro Botín, Santander (2017); 56th Biennale di Venezia, Venice (2015); 53rd Biennale di Venezia, Venice (2009); New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York (2011); Museum of Contemporary Art, Zagreb (2009); Tate Modern, London (2006); 51st Biennale di Venezia, Venice (2005) and 50th Biennale di Venezia, Venice (2003).About Daniel Birnbaum
