Abstract
For the second show in the new AGA Work Space, Tørreloft presents Sónia Almeida & Magnus Frederik Clausen. In conversation in and around painting, the two artists take cue from its potential as container and content(s). The paintings take their form on paper, canvas, as fabric hangings, books, objects, clothing. They stand, hang, lie, move; some can we see, some we must initiate contact with and others packed in that we can only imagine. The paintings are vessels and have pockets, from which we can reach in and draw out, exploring tensions in image-making, both visual and physical.
AGA Works is the new industrial garage site of Tørreloft, an international program focusing on experimental forms of production, collaboration and experience. In opposition to the original clandestine drying attic, the new location and format presents with overt public contact, where the 4th wall is an open garage shutter to a busy street.
