Talk To Me (096)

Andersen´s is pleased to present Kamil Dossar´s first show, Talk to me, in the gallery.
Kamil Dossar’s show “Talk to me” meditates on memory and how it is harnessed by the body. In the works, cast-compositions juxtapose opposing materials that are marked by traces of decay and serve as analogs for qualities of mind and body. Dossar’s approach is somewhat archeological, revisiting the art historical traditions of relief in ancient Iraq to unravel his own cultural lineage. 
Here, Dossar transposes the intrinsic relationship between the tradition of relief and storytelling to new associations, using the sculptural qualities both as a spatial body and as a surface for language. 
In his retelling, we find a true ambiguity in language, highlighting the precarious nature of recollections and the violence of permanence embedded in the material. This outpouring confronts our narrations and dispositions, our pain, traumas, and longings, which are stored within us, in flesh, but carry a great potential for healing.  
Kamil Dossar (b.1988) is an Iraqi-Hungarian artist born in Denmark. He is currently finishing his master at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen.
