Gardar Eide Einarsson
Socialism in Practice, 2021
Acrylic, gesso, and graphite on linen
60 x 50 cm (23,62 x 19,69 in)
Inv: GEE 21 002
These small-scale paintings share a pictorial starting point based on covers of anarchist and communist pamphlets from the 1930s -1970s. The text-based information from the original book cover is no longer visible, leaving only the graphic design backgrounds. The connection to the original book or pamphlet is made present in each of the painting's titles. However, each painting seems disconnected from its origin. The combination of the domestic scale of the paintings and their simulacra geometry raises questions about the possibility (or impossibility) of communicating ideas and political content through painting as well as the ultimate fate of avant-garde ambitions.

Jone Kvie
Here, here IV, 2020
Bronze, concrete
205 x 35 x 30 cm (80,71 x 13,78 x 11,81 in)
Inv: Jkv 20 002
Here, here is a series of sculptures based on photography of found objects that Kvie has collected, documenting markings in urban spaces. Wiry metal rods extending from a block of concrete or marble as if they have been dug up from the streets. Those sorts of man-made objects that are not made to draw attention, but rather implies that they are temporary solutions to problems or a need. When translating the original elements to other materials by sculpting and casting, Kvie creates sculptural works that carry witnesses to a different origin. Kvie lifts the original object away from its temporary function into another temporality and visibility.
Runo Lagomarsino
Americaamnesia, 2017
Neon
26,5 x 315 cm (10,43 x 124,02 in)
Inv: RLa 17 015
By the simple poetic act of switching the light in the last A in America with the first A in Amnesia, the work makes these two words inseparable and sets in motion questions regarding the forgotten history of America and the blind spots of historiography. On the other hand, it can also be read as a critique of the common misconception of referring to America when we mean the United States. In this way Lagomarsino both connects and dissolves them in one simple gesture.

Darío Escobar
Composition No. 71, 2015
Motor oil on paper in artist's frames (five parts)
188 x 39,5 cm (74,02 x 15,55 in)
Inv: DE 15 037
Composition Nº 71 is from an ongoing work series. Escobar describes them as drawings made from motor oil. The idea is to create a minimal drawing that does not respect the lines as the motor oil applied to the paper will continuously reshaping itself. The works become traces of an object, a car, changing an object into a drawing.
