Søren Dahlgaard

1973 Born in Copenhagen (DK)
   
  Søren Dahlgaard studied at the Slade School of Fine Arts in London and graduated in 2002. His teachers were Professors Phyllida Barlow, Stuart Brisley and Bruce McLean.
  In the work of Søren Dahlgaard, method is challenged through narrative. His work is conceptual and linked to an extent to the ground breaking Gutai group, the New York avantgarde movement of the 1960´s as well as land art from the 1970´s.
  He incorporates a type of understated slapstick in his work. This is mostly apparent in his performances and staged photography series.
  Visually he draws from the aesthetics of minimalism. Recently he has exhibited at P.S.1 Contemporary Arts Center MoMA New York, Ileana Tounta Contemporary Arts Center, Athens and International Prize for Performance, Galleria Civica Museum of contemporary art, Trento, Italy
