Continuing our series of gallery installation documentaries, this latest film follows Matias Faldbakken during his time at Ikon.  He talks engagingly about his approach to making art; referring to his exploration and subversion of gallery conventions and discussing how his art is a response to the inherent destructive nature of avant gardism and to "abstraction as an attitude, rather than aesthetical practice".  

 

Visit Matias Faldbakken's Media Gallery to watch the film.


The film features footage of, Abstracted Car, the charred remains of a Mercedes Benz car, being crane lifted into the first floor galleries.
