Opening Thursday the 5th of April, 16-22 o’clock!

Schimmel Projects - Art Centre Dresden is proud to present the exhibition About Marius by the Danish artist Niels Pugholm. In an installation consisting of videos, slides and texts Niels Pugholm is exploring the story of Marius and how the construction of narratives effects the individual’s perception of a truth.

What constitutes a story? Is it a serial of structures build on objective facts, or a vivid and seductive ramble? Can we accept a story as a rumor? Or does it need witnesses to testify it? And if so, can we use a story to search for truth at all?

In the exhibition you’ll learn about Marius’ story told by different people who met him, who heard about him and some who had heard somebody tell something about him. All with varying judgements and views. So what’s the deal with him?  What is it ‘About Marius’? 

Niels Pugholm works with different layers of storytelling which creates an intimate space for Marius’ story - a visual interpretation of so-called “Meinungsbildung”.

Niels Pugholm studied Fine Art at The Funen Art Academy in Odense (Denmark), and at the          Universidad de Complutense in Madrid (Spain) and graduated in 2013. Since then he has received several prizes and acknowledgments for his works e.g. the Extract Young Art Prize 2013, and the K.E. Jury prize.

We would like to thank the Freundeskreis der HfBK Dresden, Netzwerk Kreativ and the Danish Arts Foundation for supporting the exhibition.
