The Lost Thing uses the house as a metaphor in which the various
rooms are images of mental states, memories and displacements. The
catalogue accompanying the exhibition is structured as a
labyrinthine wandering from room to room showing an experimental
exploration of installation art's ability to articulate existential
issues through a poetic architectural adaptation. Hanne Tyrmi
(1954) is a Norwegian artist who has been active in the art scene
since the 1980s. As an artist, she is totally unafraid of using a
variety of visual languages to make her point: she is a sort of
"polyglot" with a reputation for creating sculptures,
installations, videos and photographic works that invade our
emotions like a benign virus. Her work is infectious and any
contact with it sets in motion a metamorphosis that brings about a
healthy resistance to the emotional malaise of our time. A strong
sense of adventure can be felt in her works, something she learnt
from her travels around the world, without fear and with an open
mind. She lived and worked in Brazil, South Africa and India for
years; more recently she moved her studio from Oslo to Xiamen in
order to work in Chinese workshops. Hanne has ventured into the
world of art fearless of its conventional canons and she is willing
to address issues and subjects many artists would shy away from.
Her curiosity is focused on how one's mind and body behave when
confronted by certain images and environments, i.e. on the
emotional reactions of the viewers.
"Den" is a cave installation by Mark Dion (born 1961) in the
mountains of Norway. Dion installed a sleeping model bear on top of
a pile of manmade detritus, allegorically posing the question of
whether man or animal dominates the world."
