Knot Garden
18/10 - 22/11, 2024
A solo exhibition by Georg Nordmark
Knot Garden is Georg Nordmark’s latest sculptural exploration of enrichment. The exhibited works investigate objects that are used to counteract health-hazardous limitations of animal captivity by eliciting natural behaviors that are otherwise being prevented. Nordmark’s practice examines the concept of ‘behavioural enrichment,’ i.e., objects designed for captive animals to evoke and stimulate behaviors inhibited by their confinement. By appropriating and refining these forms and concepts, Nordmark creates sculptural work that explores agency, movement, and control with a distinct tragicomic bluntness. The gallery floor is covered by a large, chlorophyll-green bed, imploring the visitors to lie in it and look up at the overhanging mobile, while being surrounded by rose-adorned walls. All this comes together to form a stylized and disjointed garden, whose nourishments and pleasures are reduced to mere abstractions.
