In the course
of the current decade, a number of young artists have come to prominence whose
works have shown considerable interest in counter-cultural phenomena –
positions and strategies formulated in opposition to society’s norms and
conventions. These include politically rebellious activities, more or less
banned underground cultures, or, within the field of art, the historical
avant-garde.
With a mixture of fascination and mourning, these artists have
addressed the way these oppositional and corrective positions have over the
years become part of the established culture industry, in its broader sense.
Matias Faldbakken’s creative activities seem to belong within this field.
This catalogue is a documentation of works in
the exhibition and installation shots, as well as essays.
