00s. Promenade with Rosemarie Trockel

One of the more intriguing contemporary artists, Rosemarie Trockel, is dedicated a large exhibition at the Moderna Museet in Stockholm. The exhibition is concentrated around one of her frequent themes, the stove, and also shows other sides of her artistry. The museum’s curator Iris Müller-Westermann has put together the exhibition in close collaboration with Trockel. Pehr Mårtens has walked around the exhibition together with the artist and, among other things, talked about pigs, eggs, a murderer and Andy Warhole. <img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/1*ZjU8pBQ27GhHJqXEsAbQsw.jpeg" style="height:467px; width:700px" /> A video loop of a dizzy view of an eye spinning backwards appears at the same time to be an egg on a hotplate of a stove. It’s straight in front of you upon entering the exhibition. On a screen diagonally to the left, Brigitte Bardot sings a languishing “Mr Sun, please stay with me” as if she were completely seduced by an old Heiliger stove. The camera follows the stove in caressing close-ups and double exposures, in feverish hallucinations. Above on a screen diagonally opposite wanders a girl in a rural small-town idyll with a string of eggs hanging on her back. <a href="https://medium.com/@PehrMartens/promenade-with-trockel-6e709f859333">Website</a>
