Stripes and dartboards

Jacob Dahlgren is a genius. His latest piece - Heaven Is A Place On Earth - consists of bathroom scales and aluminium. It is currently on display in the newly opened Bonniers Konsthall.

Dahlgren's craftsmanship is so precise, yet it spans over so many media. And he isn’t afraid to use humour in his work. Here’s a series of pictures from Signes d'abstraction, a performance with 300 people dressed in striped T-shirts. This work is entitled Root Vegetable.

Much of his work circles around materials, shapes and manufactured objects – that he seems to have a rather duchampianesque relation to, but there are several deeper layers under the visible surface. But, I don’t feel like analyzing (or overanalyzing, perhaps…) today. Sometimes you just want to enjoy art. And Dahlgren’s work is perfect for that.
