For our first ‘Feast for the Future’ in March 2012, we will welcome artist Jesper Aabille to cook and perform at Habitable Spaces as part of a series of events based around social life and food production.
I see myself as a an artist who work with variety of strategies: social and urbane interventions and sculptures as well as drawings and text-oriented pieces of work. The common thread within these practices is the focus on the social life, whether it is solutions to mundane problems by making bridges to avoid stepping in a water pit or whether it is the refinement in illustrating a practical act as for example making an apple pie.
Through the insistent attention to the often hidden and non-exposed details of social life I often enter the borderline between reality and fiction because my solutions or projects often take on the form of the absurd, and here I try to search for the point where this line becomes unstable.
A central part here is a very specific and insisting interpretation of the world which because of it’s limited and defined scope never will be adequate in a complex modern reality and thereby the failure is an immanent follower of the work right from the beginning, but it only shows its grim face when I have exhausted any other opportunity.
