TORBJØRN RØDLAND’S DIM REVELATIONS

04/23

The temperamental relationships between successful gallerists and their artists seem to have undergone a reversal. The erratic painter is now an anomaly. Young artists everywhere are patiently waiting for their dealers to straighten up, calm down, write back and keep their promises.

04/24

Any concern too small to be turned into a photograph is too small to be made into a burden.

04/26

I think I’m violating the portrait image. They think I’m violating the portrayed person.

04/27

Words, words, words. The unconscious cannot speak and is therefore more comfortable with photography.

We are delighted to announce the launch of our new title with Torbjørn Rødland with this excerpt. Dim Revelations offers a rare and generous insight into the work of one of today's most renowned lens-based artists. Like his photographic practice, this illustrated diary operates on multiple levels — internalizing a variety of genres and voices, including theory, aphorism, criticism, poetry, and the occasional spilling of tea. Rødland has not kept a journal before or since 2013. Rødland will be signing at Librairie Yvon Lambert on June 10th, from 5 to 7 pm. Address: 14 rue des Filles du Calvaire, 75003 Paris.
