His practice deploys painting, sculpture, photography, video, music, critical writing and other forms to address how ideology is performed and maintained in the cultural sphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Key to his investigation is the critical analysis of the psycho- logical, economic, and political dimensions of commodity fetishism, connecting latent urges, standardised desires, and mass-produced fantasies to objects, images, and social dynamics. In doing so, he humorously confronts systems of labour, value, and artificiality, and exposes capitalism\u2019s profound influence on our private and public behavioural patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He has been the subject of major solo retrospective exhibitions at Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami; Museum Ludwig, Cologne; Kunsthalle Z\u00fcrich; Mus\u00e9e d\u2019art moderne et contemporain, Geneva; Magasin Centre National d\u2019art contemporain, Grenoble, France; and Kunstverein Hamburg. His work was included in the 1991 Whitney Biennial and the 2010 Gwangju Biennale and he has participated in group exhibitions at the New Museum, New York; CAPC Mus\u00e9e d\u2019art contemporain, Bordeaux; Museo Reina Sof\u00eda, Madrid; MoMA PS1, New York, among others. His writing and criticism have appeared in Artforum, e-flux, and Texte Zur. He lives and works in New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>~<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Join us at the School of Sculpture, at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Art, Tuesday, 16 November, at 6pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Participation is free, but registration is required via info@arthubcopenhagen.dk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lecture will be in English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why Words Now is curated by artist and academy professor Simon Dybbroe M\u00f8ller, and independent curator and PhD student at Aarhus University Helga Just Christoffersen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why Words Now is supported by the Danish Arts Foundation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I write a word.
