The Dikeou Collection is pleased to announce the installation of Untitled (Bannock & California), a sculpture by Nils Folke Anderson, opening in our new pop-up space.
In anticipation of the installation and pop-up space opening, Anderson will deliver a free, public lecture at the Dikeou Collection.
Andersonʼs work emerges from a tradition of Minimalism, combining the forms of demigods like Serra, Judd, and LeWitt with the movements and kineticism of Trisha Brown. Constructed from a series of large interlocking square frames made of the unlikely material of expanded polystyrene, the 631⁄2 lb “giant” creates the illusion of formality while literally playing with the very virtues it seems to extol.
The work of Nils Folke Anderson has been exhibited at the Robert Miller Gallery, Phillips de Pury, the Whitney Art Party, and Robert Wilsonʼs Watermill Foundation, among other venues, and he will be completing a permanent public sculpture in Ilford, UK to coincide with the opening of the 2012 Olympic Games. In the context of the nearby Denver Art Museum, Anderson has previously collaborated with Studio Daniel Libeskind on a proposal for the Malmö Concert Hall in Malmö, Sweden.
