Time, "repetition" and "metamorphosis" are the central concepts in the work of Fredrik Vaerslev (*1979 in Moss, Norway). The artist places his canvases outdoors to observe the degree to which nature leaves its "signature" on them. In the exhibition on Ile des impressionnistes, Chatou, this process could be witnessed directly where it was taking place. Between October and December, nineteen minimalistically sprayed canvases, or mimicked awnings to be exact, were scattered across the island on the Seine and hung from trees. That Vaerslev references the John Le Carre novel The Constant Gardener, where the corpse of a woman is discovered in a bush, in the title of the exhibition is a perfect showstopper. This publication documents the plein-air exhibition in its various stages and masterfully introduces the changing work of the artist. The exhibition has ended: CNEAI-Centre National Edition Art Image, Ile des impressionistes, Chatou, 17.10.-17.12.2015

The first retrospective monograph on internationally acclaimed Danish artist's collective Superflex, "An Artist with 6 Legs" catalogues the group's work from 1993 to 2013. The first major museum retrospective for this group--known for their participatory, politically engaged projects which they call "tools"--is appropriately unconventional, comprised of eight individual retrospectives curated by Eungie Joo, Yuko Hasegawa, Toke Lykkeberg, Daniel McClean and Lisa Rosendahl, Adriano Pedrosa, Agustin Perez Rubio, Hilde Teerlinck and Rirkrit Tiravanija. Kunsthal Charlottenborg also signed a contract prohibiting the institution, the artists or the curators from mentioning the group by name during the exhibition's run--hence the replacement of the name "Superflex" with a black bar or the characters "XXXXXXX throughout the catalogue. "An Artist with 6 Legs" is both conceptual provocation and an essential reference.
