Oil on Canvas. 195 cm x 195 cm<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p>\u00c2\u0093The painting developed without any clear plan or goal. First I painted a pig which lives 200 meters from my residence in Seydisfjordur \u00c2\u0096 from there one thing took to another and this is the result. I want to leave it as open as possible and I hope it will be experienced as productive of meaning rather than being perceived as expressive of any pre-given \u00c2\u0093message\u00c2\u0094. However that may be, the painting does contain some references to factory farming.\u00c2\u0094<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Tom Backe Rasmussen<\/strong><br \/>\nArtist in residence at the H\u00c3\u00b3ll residency during March \u00c2\u0096 May 2011.<\/p>\n<p>Tom Backe Rasmussen is born in Svendborg, Denmark. He studied at the academies in Amsterdam, Oslo and Copenhagen. He works in a crossover of media, including installation, sculpture, video, performance and photography, currently focusing on painting. The works emerge at the intersection of a variety of approaches; the critical, the absurd, the analytical and the poetic. Relating to current global\/local transitions and changes, switching between microcosmic and macrocosmic views. There is an effort to make visible underlying structures and patterns in society and create a space for the contemplation of the human condition in a parallel now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":10187,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"wds_primary_exhibition_status":0,"wds_primary_location":0,"footnotes":""},"exhibition_status":[140],"location":[],"class_list":["post-10185","exhibition","type-exhibition","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","exhibition_status-past-exhibitions"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skaftfell.is\/is\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition\/10185","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skaftfell.is\/is\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skaftfell.is\/is\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/exhibition"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skaftfell.is\/is\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition\/10185\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skaftfell.is\/is\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10187"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skaftfell.is\/is\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10185"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"exhibition_status","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skaftfell.is\/is\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition_status?post=10185"},{"taxonomy":"location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skaftfell.is\/is\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location?post=10185"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
