A Kassen
A Kassen work with performativ installation and sculpture. Actions,
discretely part of the exhibition space, are characteristc of A
Kassen’s works. The actions may even be so discrete, they don’t get
noticed. But if they do get noticed, they contain strong elements of
humor and surprise. Once in a while, A Kassen perform the actions
themselves, but mostly they are performed by extras or even by
monstrous machines, constructed by A Kassen.
A Kassen’s works refer to the objectless, conceptual art of the 60s, to
performances and pop art. They examine and experiment with the borders
between art and non-art, as well as self invented systems that change
the functions of things within a given space. The works are absurd,
subtle and often very elegant due to their seamless adaption to their
context. In this sense, they form a critique of the institution and
draw attention to how we act and navigate in a certain context.
A Kassen are Christian Bretton-Meyer (b. 1976), Morten Steen Hebsgaard
(b. 1977), Søren Petersen (b. 1977) and Tommy Petersen (b. 1975).
