Artist Talk: Tommy Støckel

Onsdag 16 september, kl.17.00

Konstnären Tommy Støckel (född 1972 i Köpenhamn, bor och arbetar i Berlin) berättar om sitt konstnärsskap. Tommy är på residency på BAC under september och oktober.

”Støckel’s work is a pack horse of art historical references dressed up in a technological guise: classical sculpture, Renaissance perspective, cubism, still life, spacecraft, molecular and sub atomic structure. Unlike much’sci-art’ though, his work retains an integrity that does not rely on spurious claims of interdisciplinarity. His materials do not reflect space age possibilities, his imagery is not culled from electron microscopes and his processes are not the result of any liberal, cross-campus collaboration. Støckel uses paper and card, polystyrene and glue; more a model maker’s vocabulary than a research scientist’s. This hobbyist aesthetic echoes the increasing accessibility of science to the lay community.” – från Strange Attractors av Sally O’Reilly, i boken Tommy Støckel utgiven av Pork Salad Press
