Review: Jacob Dahlgren: When Anxieties Become Form
London Art Roundup
I think the gallery should tell everybody that Jacob Dahlgren (@jacob_dahlgren) shipped his soup can sculpture as a single giant piece that had to be corkscrewed through the door in a convoluted process similar to the “Pivot!” couch scene from Friends. It’s not true, but fits perfectly with the silly-serious nature of his work, which includes abstract stripey sculptures made from plastic hangers, and thirteen years of standing in the same pose for a daily photo, now sequenced into a 5 minute video loop. This show is a great reminder of the hidden charms to be found in the everyday.
