Titel: untitled/forest knows (2005)

Titel: untitled/Rasmus T. Hansen (new)

The work “fingerprint” consists of the fingerprints of R.T.Hansen within the entrance of the room. The idea is that the private sphere and the actions of the stagesetting personality Rasmus Hansen is made clear. The invisible marks that the inhabitant leave on the space is thus made clear through Furukatas clearmaking of the patterns of behavior.

The work  “untitled forest” is a three branch hanging suspended from the cealing. On one of the black, modulated and glittersprinkled branches a real but dead butterfly rests. Broken wings lie in the threads that have been place on branches. Small fat crystals shoots from two branches and processes a charisma of artificiality and possibility into the dead and magic three.

The particular exhibition investigates further the relationship between space (home interior) and the discipline of fine arts: Interior design and perception of space is an unavoidable part of the context of art and presentation. Within an economical boom modern consumers display behavior increasingly similar to what ERVING GOFFMAN mentioned as the “front stage: a portal on which individuals present their achievement. In effect artist that are attempting to position works within the system of art  (especially artfairs) within an extreme competition must select  good, appealing designs to attract buyers. The exhibition as such attempts to outline arts intrinsic relationship to space and presentation without a rephrasing of the postmodern critical position to presentation in institutional art-context. Rather the exhibition delineates and questions the boundaries between presentation, disciplines and the position of art within society from a practical and pragmatical perspective. Within the living room setting the exhibited works are more a phenomenon of a discovery than a conceptual position within a system of art.

The space R.T.Hansen (Berlin Inc) invites the observations of bypassers to the living room apartment. A living room people will apply almost voyeuristic behavior in any person. The eyes of the observer are without much preconceived perception other than openness of observation. The observation is conversely rid of implications for viewing publicly open-displayed art as the art is simply place within the setting of the home.

In addition as the current project R.T.Hansen sells the modernistic/minimalist identity of the living room (currently the furniture) as a normal  internet retail through internet. Selected are pieces that have basic premises as overly priced, best quality, bau-haus inspired design.
