Project description:
The exhibition Songs of Love and Hate explores the other side of song. The song of an angel materializes as a parasitic creature inscribing sound waves directly into human brain tissue. The anthem of Barack Obama rings as the distant, ominous voice of a loved one, wailing to us from beyond the grave. The song of the crooner rises as an ubiquitous odour of male perspiration fucking the inner ear in slow, relentless undulations. The mother’s lullaby solidifies into an umbilical cord tied around the baby’s neck. The exhibition will present a number of recent works by Erik Bünger along with a new installation made specifically for the cellar of Grimmuseum.
