20th anniversary-exhibition

November 19th 2009 - February 14th 2010

(live-installation, constantly prolonged until February 14th):
Reminiscence of a Black Box in the White Cube

– an off and on construction featuring

the spectator and the witnessed:
The destructive desire of the object and subject for and against the frame
...or just yet another body and space morphology.

Vernissage Thusday January 28th at 7pm

Six short documentaries. Each featuring the particularity of a view about the nymph of some sort at work in what is now the reminiscence of a Black Box in this White Cube. View a minor but complex nature of deity condensed and in full concentration as she acts with her body on the architectural inside amongst other constructions as well as rays of diffused daylight and/or artificial lightning.

The here screened feminine are attributes – though not given to anyone – we nevertheless ask for viewer discretion: Approaching the nymph is a delicate matter - and so is the attribution of the feminine. Hence the gaze operates with all respect and with the kind permission of the nymph viewed - moving one step forward and two back - over and over again.

The Body in Space is morphology.
The Morphology of Body and Space is live and alive. Bodies in Space become Nymphs – this is no construction yet an unsigned work. Other readings are constructions.

Today, on

Thursday January 28th
We’re once again live at a live-installation titled:

Reminiscence of a Black Box in the White Cube – an off and on construction featuring the spectator and the witnessed:
The destructive desire of the object and subject for and against the frame ...or just yet another body and space morphology.

Cheers!

Biography

Rolf Gerstlauer is professor at The Oslo School of Architecture and Design and runs together with his partner a small atelier in Oslo. Studio Gerstlauer Molne’s works are on architecture, film, photography, dance/choreography and include now also noise-production. As an architect Gerstlauer has a love/hate relationship with the white cube, yet as a constructor and maker the extended exploded/imploded white cube represents the base for all of his creative works. Earlier confrontations with the white cube include works like: Momentum 2000 – nordic biennale of contemporary art Moss (with Moment Architecture), Oslo Kunsthall – Oslo Art hall 2000-2003, Contiguity 1999 – AHO, Architecture as Infrastructure – National Museum for Architecture Oslo (with StudioB3), ‘Timeroomchamber’ - Uri/Switzerland and ‘Headhunting’ - DogA/Dansens hus Oslo.
