Dan Wolgers: 120 Works 1977-1996
Dan Wolgers
A survey of Wolgers's artistic works from two decades. Dan Wolgers: 120 Works 1977-1996 explores art as mechanical device, with chaotic results. Pontus Hultén's short essay focuses on Wolgers' use of old and dreary gadgets: 'In his hands dreariness becomes not merely bearable, it becomes entertaining and stimulating. He gives these sorry objects a new life, a better life which they may not always deserve'. This humorous art, Hultén concludes, is extremely cerebral - it takes place in your head, but supplies no visual beauty or pleasure. In that respect, Wolgers is a follower of Duchamp.
