As stated in the press release, the title Try Again. Fail Again. Fail Better. is an aphorism derived from Beckett that "invokes a number of the dynamics that we wished to explore in the exhibition. It suggests the self-reflexive character of so much of the work in which we found ourselves interested, among them many pieces that involve acts of appropriation or reconstruction - drawing on a variety of social and cultural sources, both contemporary and historic." Artists: Endre Aalrust & Thomas Kilpper, Lara Almarcegui, Johanna Billing, Gerard Byrne, Phil Collins, Copenhagen Free University, Kajsa Dahlberg, Edvard Gran, Tue Greenfort, Jeppe Hein, Knut Henrik Henriksen, Sergej Jensen, Tellervo Kalleinen & Oliver Kochta-Kalleinen, Ragnar Kjartansson, Joachim Koester, Juozas Laivys, Camilla Løw, Talleiv Taro Manum, Michaela Meise, Rosalind Nashashibi, Romantic Geographic Society, Egill Sæbjörnsson, Michael Sailstorfer, Lucy Skaer, Joanne Tatham & Tom O'Sullivan, Mark Titchner, Sue Tompkins, Lars Vilks. |
