Encompassing photography, sculpture and installation - this career
spanning survey of Norwegian artist Per Barclay contextualises his
place within the Arte Povera movement. This publication is
published on the occasion of the exhibition 'Per Barclay: Soft
Sweet Vortex' at Henie Onstad Kuntsenter. The career survey
combines forty artworks made from 1979 up to this year, including a
new photographic series of Barclay’s ‘oil room’ at the former
Deichman Library in Oslo, produced in 2022. The exhibition
considers photography, sculpture and collage to create a total
installation, speaking to the magnetic and extensive character of
the artist’s international practice, which has spanned four
decades. 'Soft Sweet Vortex' seeks to highlight Barclay's interest
in the contrast between air and liquid, which creates tension and a
deep sense of the uncanny in his work. Barclay's use of solid
materials, such as steel and oil, and choice of extravagant sites
and repetitive formal exercises, reflect on industry and capital in
their mutual dependency and entwined logic.
