19.01. – 31.03.2019;
\nProduced exclusively using CGI, everything in Atkins\u2019 exhibition is understood as fake \u2014 nostalgia, history, progress, authentic life, identity.<\/h3>\n

Ed Atkins is an artist who makes videos, writes and draws, developing a complex and deeply figured discourse around definition, wherein the impossibilities for sufficient representations of the physical, specifically corporeal, world \u2014 from computer generated imagery to bathetic poetry \u2014 are hysterically rehearsed. Atkins\u2019 works often centres on an unidentified figure, a kind of surrogate for the artist, who is animated by Atkins\u2019 own performance. The figure is to be found in situations of everyday despair, anxiety, frustration and pitch comedy.<\/p>\n

Atkins\u2019 works are steeped in sentimentality. Sadness, beauty and transformation occur with the speed of paranoiac thought. Striking images, familiar musical phrases or poignant pleas are cut, ruined or denied at the last minute. Traces of profound affection and interrupted empathy linger. It is such sensation that makes Atkins\u2019 works so striking; an artificial realism and romantic lushness that models feelings often inexpressible in real life. Atkins will present a slice of new and recent works for Bregenz, including Old Food<\/i>, a body of works that expands with each iteration.<\/p>\n

Here, Atkins transports us to a pseudo-historic world of peasantry, bucolic landscapes and eternal ruin. Characters weep continuously, their lives devoid of dramatic redemption; a looping piano motif haunts the space; crowds of people plummet while credits roll; and inedible, impossible sandwiches assemble and collapse in lurid advertisements. Produced exclusively using CGI (computer generated imagery), everything in Atkins\u2019 exhibition is understood as fake \u2014 nostalgia, history, progress, authentic life, identity.<\/p>\n

Ed Atkins (born 1982, United Kingdom) lives and works in Berlin and Copenhagen.<\/p>\n
