ARTIST TALK
Chris Burden
April 5th at Bio Rio
On April 5th, Magasin 3 invited the Los Angeles-based artist Chris Burden to Stockholm to give an artist talk coinciding with his exhibition currently showing at Magasin 3. The legendary artist spoke about his artistic practice, addressing both his new works and how he relates to his earlier performances. Burden specifically discussed works that are in the collection at Magasin 3, many of which propose technical solutions for man’s movement through space.
Chris Burden has been active artistically since the 1970s, when he achieved notoriety for controversial performances in which he put his personal safety at risk. These works often went on for several days, and to a closed audience, which even in that day fostered a sense of legend and myth around the artist’s works.

MIKA ROTTENBERG
Sneeze to Squeeze
February 8 – June 2, 2013
Curator: Tessa Praun
Felicia from Tropical Breeze, 2004
For the spring season 2013, Magasin 3 is proud to present a solo exhibition featuring works by Mika Rottenberg, spanning from the early 2000s to today.
www.magasin3.com/mikarottenberg
Please visit our special reading room where you can explore Mika Rottenberg’s imagery, read articles, watch videos and pictures from the exhibition.
Mika Rottenberg’s video installations show an imaginative world of surreal scenes where inane objects are produced in protracted processes resembling factory assembly lines. The workers in Rottenberg’s videos are often played by women who earn their living on their distinctive physical features, such as extreme obesity, muscularity, height or unusually long nails or hair. In the claustrophobic settings she constructs, these women engage in the production of maraschino cherries, dough, make-up and wet-wipes in the most astonishing ways. The sets Mika Rottenberg designs for the characters in her videos also partly extend into the exhibition space. The aesthetics of the mundane take on new significance when the web of production and consumption that surrounds us is experienced as both intimately familiar and intuitively unsettling.
NEW EPISODE OF MAGASIN 3 ARTPOD
Listen to the new episode of our critically-acclaimed ArtPod.
The guest in the studio is publisher, writer, editor, and former documentary filmmaker Hossein Amirsadeghi (London). Amirsadeghi is currently working on a book on the Nordic art scene to be published by Thames & Hudson, one of the most influential international publishers in art, design and architecture. Also discussed in the episode is the New York Times article “Partner Without the Prize” (April 17) which addresses the issue: what happens when one person in a creative duo gains recognition?
