Dexter Bang Sinister (B/W sensorium), 2012

Installation at Charlottenborg

Charlottenborg’s current research program: Dexter Bang Sinister (= Dexter Sinister + Angie Keefer + Lars Bang Larsen).

A PSYCHEDELIC INSTALLATION

The sensorium that Dexter Sinister and their collaborators have created for Charlottenborg takes the form of a freestanding room, a ‘stimulation box’ offering an immersive experience of experimental artworks and artifacts. The contents includes a number of works by Dexter Sinister, including carpet tiles, silkscreen wallpaper and a looping 16mm film; along with examples of Scandinavian psychedelic experiments collected by Larsen, including: metamorphic slides by Steen Thure Krarup (a member of the Danish psychedelic light group King Kong, 1969-1972); digital prints by Charlotte & Sture Johannesson from The Digital Theatre (1972-1986); and a lava lamp quoting Jes Brinch’s exhibition Funky Groovy Chill-Out from 1997.

All of these works were originally created in black-and-white: a stripped-down, low-grade expression at odds with our received understanding of psychedelia. As Larsen ponders, “The question remains, how to combine idealism with the skepticism and self-reflection that turns it into an artistic tool rather than an end in itself?”

The sensorium will remain in situ for nine months, during which time the collaborators will stage a symposium and other events, and produce a journal that reflects their psychedelic research. The latter will form part of a series of bulletins produced by Dexter Sinister and Keefer – previously in collaboration with organisations such as MoMA and the Banff Centre – under the title of The Serving Library. Texts can be downloaded as they are produced (see www.servinglibrary.org and find the pdfs on this page to the right) while the final publication will be launched in the autumn.

I’m curious as to what it actually feels like to be inside the sensorium. It looks as though there are more than the interior shot depicts. Maybe that’s just it?

today, kimberly got a book:

1.) Why Your JPEGs Aren’t Making You A Millionaire by Brad Troemel

Interesting piece from Brad, in which he offers his thoughts on why internet artists don’t - and won’t - make money from their work.

“Internet artists, for all of their digital-native wisdom, should know better than to think .JPEGs are a viable commodity when they’ve seen multi-billion dollar industries like music, film, and newspapers run around like baffled idiots for the past decade trying to figure out why they can’t sell MP3s, MOVs, and PDFs like they used to in traditional media.”

2.) “C.R.E.A.M.” at Art Micro-Patronage, Now In Excessive Detail! by Will Brand

On a related note, be sure to go back and read Will’s thoughtful review of curator Lindsay Howard’s online group exhibition “C.R.E.A.M.”, written a couple of weeks back for Art Fag City.
