About

Contemporary Art Stavanger consists of an online art journal as well as a physical residency program for critics, writers and researchers. Through our work, we aim to contribute meaningful conversation relevant to the Stavanger region’s art scene, while at the same time connecting the content to a larger national and international discourse – we therefore publish in both Norwegian and English. In addition to reviews, essays, and interviews, we explore the expansive possibilities of CAS’ online platform and investigate different ways of working with writers, residencies, and the format of art writing and criticism. We at CAS are dedicated to presenting a wide range of perspectives, voices, and subject matter. Read more

Utstilling: Piotr Łakomy Doorway

October 1, 2021 @08:00 - October 31, 2021 @16:00 CEST Exhibition

About

In his practice, Piotr Łakomy explores the relationship between the human body, architecture, and the environment. Łakomy uses both organic and industrial materials in his work. He regularly folds panels of aluminum honeycomb—a material used in the aerospace and construction industries—in a way that suggests a natural formation. The artist’s overall interest in architecture relates to the basic forms of shelter. Organic materials such as ostrich eggs often appear in his work, the artist refers to the sphere as a fundamental architectural form and as a shelter for life. Traces of life and death are suggested through the modification of body bags; bags are melted together, while a skeletal frame is left behind by the insertion of bamboo, umbrella, and tent poles, speaking of both the body and the built environment.
———-
Piotr Łakomy utforsker forholdet mellom skulptur og menneskekroppen, arkitekturen og miljøet. Kunstneren bruker både organiske og industrielle materialer i sine arbeider.Han bretter regelmessig paneler av aluminium honeycomb, et materiale som brukes i romfarts- og byggebransjen – på en måte som antyder en naturlig formasjon
Strutseegg dukker ofte opp i arbeidene hans og kunstneren omtaler sfæren som en grunnleggende arkitektonisk form og som et ly for livet. Spor etter liv og død antydes gjennom å endre “body bags”; poser smeltes sammen, mens det menneskelige skjelett er forlatt og erstattet av bambus, paraplyer og teltstenger som forteller en historie om både kroppen og det bygde miljøet som omgir oss.
