Tony Oursler
The energy of the grotesque is captured in Tony Oursler’s video images projected onto the faces of dolls, mannequins, and disembodied heads. Oursler’s engaging, scary, annoying, and funny sculptural videos and installations speak – incessantly. Television and MTV have played an important role in the development of his work.
Disparities and Deformations
Disparities and Deformations: Our Grotesque brought together a diverse group of contemporary artworks that respond and give new substance to the sense of emotional and logical uncertainty inherent in the grotesque, described by the 19th-century writer Jean Paul as a state of “soul dizziness.” The exhibition tracked the incongruous combination of disparate forms and ideas in the work of internationally renowned artists of different generations, coming from various cultural contexts, and working with different processes and ideas.
