"Casa de Vidro. Lina Bo Bardi in Dialogue with Sverre Fehn"

NASJONALMUSEET OSLO

Closing Event, 14. May 2017, 12:00 - 16:00

To mark the last day of the exhibition “Casa de Vidro. Lina Bo Bardi in Dialogue with Sverre Fehn” Jan Maruhn, Markus Richter and artists Veronika Kellndorfer, Michael Wesely and Knut Åsdam discuss the examination of architecture and urban structures in the visual arts.

The exhibition presents Lina Bo Bardi’s glasshouse in São Paulo, Casa de Vidro (1950–52), inside Sverre Fehn’s glass pavilion (1997–2008). It encompasses a dialogue between the architectural idioms of Bo Bardi and Fehn and the visual language of artist Veronika Kellndorfer. The National Museum commissioned the Berlin-based artist to reflect Bo Bardi’s Casa de Vidro in a new installation created especially for Fehn’s glass pavilion. Kellndorfer employs transformed and rasterized photographs of the building, which are silkscreened onto huge glass sheets, creating a representation of the house that is at once spectral and painterly.

Tropical Modernism: Lina Bo Bardi
July 8 - September 2, 2016 
Tuesday - Saturday 10 - 5:30

Christopher Grimes Gallery is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of new works by Veronika Kellndorfer. 
This body of work stems from her 2015 solo exhibition at the Casa de Vidro in São Paulo, home of celebrated Italian-born Brazilian architect Lina Bo Bardi. During this time Kellndorfer also engaged with the architecture of Oscar Niemeyer and the gardens of Roberto Burle Marx, finding their approach to Brazilian Modernism nascent to a new scope of reference.

For Tropical ModernismLina Bo Bardi, Kellndorfer continues working in the process she developed in the early 1990s of silk-screening photographic images to highly reflective glass panels, fusing image to form. In the main gallery, Kellndorfer will show works pairing details of Bo Bardi’s iconic SESC Pompéia in São Paulo with an individual plant species found in the Royal Botanic Garden in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Like Bo Bardi, whose architecture explored reciprocity between the human and the built, Kellndorfer examines the dialog between the playfully Brutalist and culturally dynamic SESC Pompéia and the global selection of various plant species flourishing in Brazil. The South gallery will feature works referencing Bo Bardi’s architectural treasure: Tree House (Casa de Vidro), as well as the sculptures Casa de Vidro, Quadrado and Casa de Vidro, Triângulo.

Opening Reception: Friday July 8, 2016, 6-8PM
