ARTISTS REPRESENTED IN THE EXHIBITION

DONNY JOHNSON – Born 1960, abstract painter. Incarcerated after
killing a man and then attacking a prison guard. Now serving three life
sentences at the Pelican Bay State Prison in California, where he’s
subjected to 23 hour lock down in a solitary cell with no windows.
Represented by four paintings on postcards provided by Stephen Kurtz,
which is responsible for Donny Johnson’s collection.The paintings are
made with the coating of M&M’s, water, and a paintbrush made of
Johnson’s own heir, as there is strict regulations for what he’s allowed to
keep in his cell. 

–

ELMYR de HORY – born 1905, was a famous Hungarian forger. Lived
in France, Mexico and Ibiza before committing suicide in 1976, fearing
incarceration after his massive forging enterprise started to crumble.
He mainly forged Picasso, Renoir, Matisse and Modigliani. He is one of
the main protagonists in Orson Wells film F for Fake.

–

ERIC GILL – born in 1882, was one of Britain’s most respected artists.
His sculpture Prospero & Ariel is to be found in BBC’s Broadcasting
House, and the Creation of Adam is in the lobby of Palais des Nations,
now the European headquarters of the United Nations in Geneva. He
also created a widely used font, Gill Sans.After his death it was revealed
that he had a sexual relationship to his daughters, his sister, and the
family dog. Not quite as respected anymore, he has entered the realm of
obscurity.

–

SIRI HJORTH – born 1986, live and work in Oslo, Norway, with sculpture,
performance, installation and textile. She showcased a constructed
Tableau Vivant in collaboration with Sebastian Makonnen Kjølaas 
relating to one of the protagonists of the book. It was to be found in the center
of the exhibition hall and mirrored a pivotal scene from the narrative.
The sculpture is a pastiche of Ernst Barlach’s The Avanger (1914). Barlach
was in his youth a war enthusiast, but became a pacifist after the atrocity
of World War I. This was the reason why he was exhibited at the infamous
Degenerate art exhibition in Germany (1937) organized by Adolf Ziegler
and the Nazi Party.

–

MOM & JERRY – The multi-faceted Mom, and her dirty son Jerry have
a passion for art, music, parties, glitter and fashion. In addition to being
artists, they consider themselves rebels, outlaws, Djs, living sculptures,
talk show hosts,TV personalities, movie stars, and progressive Broadway
dancers. Mom and Jerry can be seen as recycling machines in the
monstrous, virtual city of garbage. They showcased the video The world
is a cruise (9 min 34 sec, 2014) and a piece titled Line up your fun (2014).
