BØRRE SÆTHRE Né en /Born in 1967 /in Oslo, Norvège /Norway Vit et travaille /Lives and works à /in New York, Berlin et /and Tokyo Artiste représenté /Artist represented par la galerie /by the gallery Loevenbruck, Paris Børre Sæthre met en scène des environnements oniriques qui constituent une expérience de luxe cinématique inoubliable. D abord austères, ses espaces, qui se révèlent emplis de fantaisies cachées (sculptures environnementales, jeux de lumières, ambiances sonores et animations «film») recouvrent confessions, secrets et un voyage voyeuriste à l intérieur d un univers apparemment imperméable. Ses «lounges» de relaxation et modules de bureau, sans valeur ajoutée apparente, sont perturbés par des détails iconoclastes, en rupture avec la topographie stylisée de l expérience médiatique. -Lia Gangitano Børre Sæthre stages environments that approximate the ambiance of dreams, the luxurious containment of cinematic experience. At once austere and saturated with concealed fantasies, his spaces (sculptural and reconstructed environments, light, soundscapes and moving images) comprise confessions, secrets, and voyeuristic longings that linger within seemingly impermeable interiors. The value-free economies of spaces such as relaxation lounges or office modules are disrupted by unsettling details, shyly rupturing the stylized topography of mediated experience. -Lia Gangitano EXPOSITIONS PERSONNELLES / SOLO EXHIBITIONS (selection) 2009 All Passion Spent (Death and Dark Forests), galerie Loevenbruck, Paris 2008 Greetings to Futures Past, PS1 - Contemporary Art Center, New York, USA 2007 For Someone Who Nearly Died But Survived, Bergen Kunsthall, Bergen, Norvège /Norway 2006 I ve been guilty of hanging around, Participant Inc, New York, USA 2005 Autonomic High (The things I can t control, no matter how I try), FRAC Basse Normandie, Caen, France Powered by zero (The end of the BAMBI cycle), galerie Loevenbruck, Paris 2003 Untitled 5.0 (Selected memories: fragments, sketches and ideas from the Lustlux-years), Lydmar hotel, Stockholm, Suède /Sweden The Lustlux Years, galerie Wang, Oslo, Norvège /Norway Catch me and let me die wonderful, Quarentine Series, Amsterdam, Pays-Bas /The Netherlands 2001 My Private Sky, Astrup Fearnley Museum for Modern Art, Oslo, Norvège /Norway 2000 Module for Mood, Theard Waxing Space, New York, USA 1999 A million dreams, a million scars, galerie Wang, Oslo, Norvège /Norway 1997 Lustlux, Lustlux Corp, Oslo, Norvège /Norway The Steps in Between, Hordaland Kunstnercentrum, Bergen, Norvège /Norway Double Fantasy The Pasolini Experience and some Paranormal Activities, Herslebsgt. 10 / Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin, Allemagne /Germany EXPOSITIONS COLLECTIVES / GROUP SHOWS (selection) 2006 Déjà 5 ans seulement, galerie Loevenbruck, Paris 2005 Goda grannar, Norrkopings Konstmuseum, Norrkoping, Norvège /Norway Kissfro-sken, Forvandlingens Kunst, Oslo, Norvège /Norway 2004 Printemps de Septembre, école des Beaux-Arts, Toulouse, France 2003 Plastik, Plusch und Politik, Stadtische Galerie Nordhorn, Allemagne /Germany Scene, Christianssands Kunstforening, Kristiansand, Norvège /Norway 2002 Art at the turn of the rue de Seine et la rue de l Echaudée, galerie Loevenbruck, Paris Todos somos pecadores (we are all sinners), Museo Rufino Tamayo, Mexico, Mexique /Mexico Shimmering substance/ View finder, Arnolfini, Brisol, Angleterre /England 2001 Treff, Bergen Kunstmuseum, Bergen, Norvège /Norway 2000 Statement, Basel ART 2000, Basel, Suisse /Switzerland Amateur/ Eldsjal, Goteborg Konstmuseum, Goteborg, Suède /Sweden Momentum, Nordic Festival of Contemporary Art, Moss, Norvège /Norway 1998 Cool Places, Contemporary Art Centre, Vilnius, Lituanie /Lithuania Fellessentralen, Kunsternes Hus, Oslo, Norvège /Norway
