Marie Søndergaard Lolk's latest paintings refer to a diverse range of things such as landscapes, maps, tool boards, neon signs, gravestones, museum showcases, fountains, windows, and the floor in her studio. Although these subject matters seem to lie far apart, they all investigate our sense of sight, and how it is transformed through gravity, language, materials, or the absence of these things. In all the paintings, a process-based rebuilding of a specific visual space has taken place. In some of the paintings several perspectives are built into one another. We normally gaze out into the landscape, down at the floor, or through the window. Here the perspectives are doubled: In one painting, a baroque garden is represented as if viewed simultaneously from above, from the side, and simply as wooden boards and paint. In another painting a view of a floor is recreated with paint, sawdust and other kinds of waste, at the same time as the painting's gravity has been turned upside down so that matter flows upwards, moving it towards fiction. Marie Søndergaard Lolk's paintings are situated in a kind of gap between thought and matter, where attention and meaning flow in several directions at once. The texts which are included in some of the paintings are not just signs to be deciphered. They are also present as material things, rope shaped to form letters for instance, that must be experienced on similar conditions as other things in the physical space we are part of. Even though the subject matter varies from painting to painting, it overlaps between themes such as transparency and blocked vision, order and chance, or language and silence. The paintings relate to classical landscape and still life painting in the way they are concerned with our physical surroundings rather than the representation of the body. But via remnants and traces of actions they are still fundamentally based on the exchange between the body and physical space, around the inconclusive translation of the body into vision. works     MARIE SØNDERGAARD LOLK   Press Release in Danish (PDF)   Duration 28.10. - 26.11. 2011   Opening Friday 28.10. 2011, 5-7 PM CUBE Thorbjørn Bechmann IG 383 & The Vridsløselille Sessions   Please click here for more information on the CUBE exhibition   Installation view THE GREEN ROUND Galleri Tom Christoffersen, 2011   Installation view THE GREEN ROUND Galleri Tom Christoffersen, 2011   Installation view THE GREEN ROUND Galleri Tom Christoffersen, 2011   Installation view THE GREEN ROUND Galleri Tom Christoffersen, 2011   Installation view THE GREEN ROUND Galleri Tom Christoffersen, 2011   Marie Søndergaard Lolk Untitled 2011 acrylic and spray on board 80 x 120 cm Galleri Tom Christoffersen, 2011   Marie Søndergaard Lolk Untitled 2011 fabric, acrylic and wood glue on board 121 x 56 cm Galleri Tom Christoffersen, 2011   Marie Søndergaard Lolk Untitled 2011 acrylic, wood and wet membrane on board 38 x 24 cm Galleri Tom Christoffersen, 2011   Marie Søndergaard Lolk Untitled 2011 acrylic and wet membrane on board 56 x 50 cm Galleri Tom Christoffersen, 2011   Marie Søndergaard Lolk Untitled 2011 acrylic, mixed media and wet membrane on board 31 x 40 cm Galleri Tom Christoffersen, 2011   Marie Søndergaard Lolk Untitled 2011 acrylic, mixed media and wet membrane on board 31 x 40 cm Galleri Tom Christoffersen, 2011   Marie Søndergaard Lolk Untitled 2011 acrylic, string, wood glue and mixed media on board 60 x 47 cm Galleri Tom Christoffersen, 2011   Marie Søndergaard Lolk Untitled 2011 acrylic wood and mixed media on board 127 x 108 cm Galleri Tom Christoffersen, 2011   Marie Søndergaard Lolk Untitled 1/6 2011 acrylic, wood and MDF 60 x 255 cm Galleri Tom Christoffersen, 2011   Marie Søndergaard Lolk Untitled 2/6 2011 acrylic, wood and MDF 60 x 255 cm Galleri Tom Christoffersen, 2011   Marie Søndergaard Lolk Untitled 3/6 2011 acrylic, wood and MDF 60 x 255 cm Galleri Tom Christoffersen, 2011   Marie Søndergaard Lolk Untitled 4/6 2011 acrylic, wood and MDF 60 x 255 cm Galleri Tom Christoffersen, 2011   Marie Søndergaard Lolk Untitled 5/6 2011 acrylic, wood and MDF 60 x 255 cm Galleri Tom Christoffersen, 2011   Marie Søndergaard Lolk Untitled 6/6 2011 acrylic, wood and MDF 60 x 255 cm Galleri Tom Christoffersen, 2011   Marie Søndergaard Lolk Untitled 2011 acrylic on canvas 65 x 85 cm Galleri Tom Christoffersen, 2011   Marie Søndergaard Lolk Untitled 2011 acrylic and rope on board 122 x 122 cm Galleri Tom Christoffersen, 2011   Marie Søndergaard Lolk Untitled 2011 paper, frame, wood glue and mixed media 30 x 40 cm 100 x 100 Galleri Tom Christoffersen, 2011   Marie Søndergaard Lolk Untitled 2011 acrylic on board 37 x 37 cm Galleri Tom Christoffersen, 2011   Marie Søndergaard Lolk Untitled 2011 acrylic, wood, and MDF on board 100 x 100 cm Galleri Tom Christoffersen, 2011   Marie Søndergaard Lolk Untitled 2011 acrylic, wood glue, spray and mixed media on board 95 x 66 cm Galleri Tom Christoffersen, 2011   Marie Søndergaard Lolk Untitled 2011 acrylic and mixed media on board 38 x 80 cm Galleri Tom Christoffersen, 2011   Marie Søndergaard Lolk Untitled 2011 acrylic and wood on MDF 42 x 90 cm Galleri Tom Christoffersen, 2011   Marie Søndergaard Lolk Untitled 2011 acrylic and wood on MDF 42 x 90 cm Galleri Tom Christoffersen, 2011   Marie Søndergaard Lolk Untitled 2011 acrylic and mixed media on board 67 x 83 cm Galleri Tom Christoffersen, 2011   Marie Søndergaard Lolk Untitled 2011 acrylic and rope on board 122 x 146 cm Galleri Tom Christoffersen, 2011   Marie Søndergaard Lolk Untitled 2011 acrylic on board 42 x 47 cm Galleri Tom Christoffersen, 2011   Marie Søndergaard Lolk Untitled 2011 acrylic on board 42 x 47 cm Galleri Tom Christoffersen, 2011   Marie Søndergaard Lolk Untitled 2011 acrylic on board 50 x 56 cm Galleri Tom Christoffersen, 2011
