(please scroll down for text in English) ELMER OM ELMER ELMER CUBE: Jesper Fabricius and Hans-Peter Feldmann: Diverse L�sninger Opening: 04.06.2010 at 5-8 PM 04.06 � 03.07.2010 ELMER OM ELMER hedder Elmers separatudstilling p� Galleri Tom Christoffersen. De mange collager og plakater b�rer h�rde tekster og har v�gt p� det visuelle � det er entydige udsagn og gerne for egen regning. P� udstillingen vises b�de nye og gamle v�rker; Skitser til de legendariske plakater fra 1970erne og 80erne, der dengang befandt sig i byrummet og plastrede hverdagen til med billeder og kommentarer som �Egentlig burde alle vaelge Elmer� og �Lej en familie�. Her i 2010 er situationen en anden, de �ldre v�rker er samlerobjekter, og de nye plakater i begr�nset oplag b�rer tekster som �For fed til at lege� eller �Freedom. Go to hell�. F�lles for v�rkerne er samspillet mellem tekst og billede samt en voldsom reaktion p� alt, hvad der p� et givent tidspunkt er korrekt og velmenende i samfundsdebatten. De mange papirarbejder er i flere henseender sort/hvide. ELMER OM ELMER er en udstilling med en klar afsender, der til en hver tid siger sin mening og tager skraldet. Elmer (1952) var lektor ved det Kongelige Danske Kunstakademi fra 1993-2003. Han har kurateret flere udstillinger bl.a. �Elmer�s Cut� i Galleri Tom Christoffersen (2002), som pegede p� talenter, der i dag tegner en v�sentlig del af den danske scene for samtidskunst. Blandt Elmers egne udstillinger er senest �NY.EL� Galleri Tom Christoffersen (2007), �Elmer vs. Reumert�, Galleri Christoffer Egelund (2007), �Elmer the Dane� (solo), Galleri Tom Christoffersen (2005). I 1981 grundlagde Elmer Post-Painting. Centrale udstillinger fra dengang er bl.a.: �Niveau�, Brandts Kl�defabrik (1988), �Gud og Grammatik�, Charlottenborg (1984), �Documenta 7�, Baron Boltens G�rd (1982). Elmer er tidligere blevet tildelt honorarium af Statens Kunstfond og modtog i 2004 det tre�rige arbejdslegat. Elmer er repr�senteret af Galleri Tom Christoffersen.

The many collages and posters carry loudly outspoken text and emphasize the visual. Both old and new works are presented; sketches from the well-known posters that during the 1970ties and 1980ties were to be found everywhere in the public space of Copenhagen. The posters and stickers were on the streets in the middle of everyday life putting forth comments such as �Egentlig burde alle vaelge Elmer� (All should vote for Elmer, actually) or �Lej en familie� (Rent a family). In 2010 the situation has changed, the older multiples has become collectors items and the new posters come in editions and carry statements such as �For fed til at lege� (Too plump to play) or �Freedom. Go to hell�. Despite the timely gap all works have an exchange between text and image in common just as they puts forth a strong resistance towards everything, which at a given time is correct and well-intentioned in the public debate. The works on paper are black and white in every way. ELMER OM ELMER is a solo exhibition with an author, who at all times speaks his mind and welcomes the inevitable confrontation. Elmer (1952) was head of the department of painting / Assoc. Prof. at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts (1993-2003). He has curated several exhibitions among others �Elmer�s Cut�, Galleri Tom Christoffersen (2002). The group show presented talented young artists, who are important players on the Danish scene of contemporary art today. Important solo and group exhibitions count: �NY.EL� Galleri Tom Christoffersen (2007), �Elmer vs. Reumert�, Galleri Christoffer Egelund (2007), �Elmer the Dane� (solo), Galleri Tom Christoffersen (2005). In 1981 Elmer founded Post-Painting. Central exhibitions from that decade are: �Niveau�, Brandts Kl�defabrik (1988), �Gud og Grammatik�, Charlottenborg (1984), �Documenta 7�, Baron Boltens G�rd (1982). Elmer has received honoraria from the Danish Arts Foundation and in 2004 he was given the three-year work grant. Elmer is represented by Galleri Tom Christoffersen. |
