"Bella Angora versus Christian Falsnaes"
with Christian Falsnaes 2007

“Bella Angora vs. Christian Falsnaes” is an attempt to treat the concepts of rivalry,
powerplay, jealousy, competition and egoistic ambition. Not only in relation to art
and the art world, where those concepts are constantly present as distinct set of social
patterns, but furthermore in society as such and in particular contemporary culture.

The “battle”, the competition and the determination to be “number one”  has become
the underlying foundation for a long range of activities all included by the term “culture”.

Casting-shows where youngsters are competing to become pop stars,
hip hop style dance- and rap-battles, art-ranking and art-prizes, sport tournaments

and computer-games are obvious examples.

The exhibition examines the mechanisms of rivalry in contemporary culture on the basis
of rivalry within our own artistic collaboration.
