In the Spirit of Nubben in Five Ways
Lars-Gunnar 鈥淣ubben鈥� Nordstr枚m (1924鈥�2014) is one of Finnish art history鈥檚 best-known Concretists. His style is easily recognisable 鈥� many people see in it visual music and a powerful spatiality. Both interpretations are well-founded 鈥� Nubben studied and worked as an interior designer, while jazz music was his passion.
He wrote: 鈥淛azz is living touching hearing seeing 鈥� and replicating鈥�. (Jazz 盲r att leva k盲nna h枚ra se 鈥� och 氓ter-ge.) The underlying idea behind the In the spirit of Nubben in five ways exhibition is the importance of multisensory experience and variation in artistic work. Nordstr枚m鈥檚 art epitomises the modernist ethos, in which the multisensory and intersensory are at the core of artistic thinking and of experiencing an artwork. It is worth noting that abstract modernism is a highly polyphonic, diverse network of artistic ideas and thoughts, rather than a unified, coherent 鈥榠sm鈥�.
The exhibition at Gallery Elverket presents five contemporary artists, all with their own style and voice, but they all dare to make unrestricted variations within the scope of their own artistic thinking, and to reflect critically. Their works go from multisensory to figurative to non-figurative and back, while creating new viewpoints on art and spaces for art.
