LISE HARLEV What I Am Told About the Past 28.04. - 14.05.2011. Exhibition opening: Thursday, 28.04.2011. at 8 p.m. Lise Harlev�s work �What I Am Told About the Past� is a result of the art residency in Zagreb in February this year. Understanding Zagreb as a locus with its own specific history, the artist observed the ways in which the contemporary traces of this history, as well as her own expectations, have shaped the experience of getting to know the city. On wooden panels, in a very direct way, Harlev articulates a number of statements and questions concerning our perception of the history, its authenticity, nostalgia, and, finally, our universal need for history. At the same time, the background graphic elements create a number of associations � from timelessness of simple geometric shapes, through allusions to the 1950s graphic design, to a reminiscence of sign systems used on info boards at �historically significant� sites. Both elements, the textual and the graphic, thus create a completely new, ambiguous context � a very subjective experience of history, time and space is presented in visually very simple, familiar and recognizable way. Lise Harlev (1973), a Danish artist based in Berlin, studied at Stadelschule, Frankfurt am Main, and The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Copenhagen.
