In her second solo exhibition at Murray Guy, Ann Lislegaard is presenting video animation which can also be seen in the Danish Pavilion at this year’s Venice Biennale.
Bellona, the fictional city of Samuel R. Delany’s 1974 science fiction cult classic Dhalgren is a place beyond reason, where time and space is out of joint and architectural fixtures seem to be in constant flux and transformation. In Lislegaard’s video animation installation, Bellona is a psychological space, in which norms and standards seem to dissolve into a chaos of anti-hierarchical conditions.
Ann Lislegaard was born in Norway and currently lives in Copenhagen, Denmark and New York. Her work was seen recently at the Aldrich Museum, Ridgefield, CT and in Son et Lumiére at the List Visiual Art Center, MIT, Cambridge, MA. She is currently participating in the exhibition Ecstasy – In and Around Altered States at the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art.
