(please scroll down for text in English) RESEND WORKS Curated by Christian Vind Jes Brinch Jan S. Hansen Arthur K�pcke Albert Mertz Storm P Tal R Stoffer Christian Vind Opening: THURSDAY 29.04.2010 at 4-8 PM Duration: 29.04. - 29.05.2010 Galleristen Tom Christoffersen har erhvervet 30 collager af billedkunstner Albert Mertz (1920 � 1990). I billedkunstner Christian Vinds h�nder er dette blevet til gruppeudstillingen RESEND WORKS, hvor Mertz bliver sat i spil med b�de sin fortid, samtid og fremtid. I perioden 1962 til 1972 er Mertz bosat i Paris, og derfra skriver han l�bende artikler til tidsskriftet Louisiana Revy. F� �r tidligere er Louisiana - Museum for Moderne Kunst begyndt en satsning med internationale udstillinger og har i Mertz en fortaler for at vise den nye kunst. I sine artikler skriver Mertz om kunstlivet i Paris og han diskuterer kunstfaglige begreber samt kunsthistoriske emner. Som en rejsende skribent rapporterer han fra de st�rre europ�iske udstillinger og om de nye str�mninger i samtidskunsten. Artiklerne bliver alle sendt hjem ledsaget af collager. P� gruppeudstillingen RESEND WORKS pr�senteres for f�rste gang en st�rre samling af disse collager, der viser Mertz fra sin begavede, provokerende, poetiske og ikke mindst humoristiske side. Dette sker i kommenterende sammenh�ng med vidt forskellige v�rker af Jes Brinch, Jan S. Hansen, Arthur K�pcke, Storm P, Tal R, Stoffer og Christian Vind. V�rker, der i Christian Vinds sammenstilling, tr�kker billedm�ssige og konceptuelle linier p� tv�rs af tid.

In the hands of artist Christian Vind this has led to RESEND WORKS, a group exhibition that puts Mertz into play with his past, present and future. Between 1962 and 1972 Albert Mertz lives in Paris and writes for the art magazine Louisiana Revy. A few years earlier Louisiana - Museum of Modern Art (Humlebaek) begins to show international exhibitions and in Mertz a protagonist for this new art is found. He brings news from the art scene in Paris, discusses art theory and art historical subjects and as a travelling critic he brings on the spot reports from major European exhibitions just as he introduces cutting edge art practices to Danish readers. All his writings are sent home accompanied by his own collages. The group exhibition RESEND WORKS presents a major collection of these collages, which reflect Albert Mertz� knowing, provocative, poetical and humorous approach to art and art making. In the curatorial practice of Christian Vind trajectories emanates from the juxtaposition of the collages with Vind�s careful and commenting selection of works by Jes Brinch, Jan S. Hansen, Arthur K�pcke, Storm P, Tal R, Stoffer and Christian Vind. |
