Aperture and the Parsons Department of Photography at The New School present an artist's talk with Torbjørn Rødland. Rødland is to photography what the Pet Shop Boys are to pop music, a master of delicately orchestrated cliché overload—a surplus of the too obvious, too cute, or too inane, extended to the point where the images are drained of all trace of commonsense and suggest a newfound silence or mystery.
TORBJØRN RØDLAND (b. 1970) has exhibited extensively in Europe at venues such as the Centre Pompidou, Paris; the 48th Venice Biennale; Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art, Oslo; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; Reina Sofia Museum, Madrid; and Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago. Recent and upcoming solo exhibition venues include Air de Paris; Michael Benevento, Los Angeles; Sørlandets Art Museum, Kristiansand, Norway; and Galerie Rodolphe Janssen, Brussels.
