Donna Huanca, Vytautas Jurevicius, Lisa Meixner, and Aki Nagasaka present ‘Baby, I Lost My Handshoes’ at Kurant Visningsrom
in Tromsø, Norway. With the shared interests in the expression of social and cultural life, the artists interpret the impact of form and style through playful narratives of architecture, fashion and language. Their works make imaginative and stylised use of documentary, advertising, scientific inquiry and ethnographic field work, and much like the curiously named Handshoes of the exhibition title, their combination of works evidences a radial creative/thought process, seemingly free from the rigid critical or ethical interpretations.
The exhibition opens on Friday, 20, May, 2011, and the artist talk follows on Sunday, 22, May, 2011. http://www.kurant.cc/
