CHTHONIC ARCHIVE no.7: EXTREMITIES

 
Kurfurstenstrasse 37

40211 Dusseldorf

 

Los Angeles-based artist Jordan Rountree (b.1990, France) joins the group show “Of Mighty Winds and Downy Flakes” curated by Mirjam Pajakowski.
 
"Of Mighty Winds and Downy Flakes" is dedicated to winter – as a natural phenomenon and climatic condition, as the dark season, as a cultural image. It appears in many shapes in the group show: as a »phantasm« that has been – and continues to be – reinterpreted time and again in myths, customs, and artistic explorations over the centuries.
 
With his seventh CHTHONIC ARCHIVE entry titled “Extremities”, Rountree brings his Pop Noh style to Europe for the first time, exploring the world of a New England boarding school student who collapses in the snow, feigning unconsciousness to avoid a failing grade and potential expulsion.
