Det er ikke godt å si: Om tilblivelser i Anne Biringvads malerier

Abstract

Spring 2012 the artist Anne Biringvad exhibited expressive paintings including daring use of textile fragments from flea markets in the art works. This event occurred in Galleri Semmingsen at Galleri Trafo in Asker. What happens in Anne Biringvads’ paintings? The textiles become a sort of desire grafting on the paintings, proliferating. In this article Gunnerød approaches the paintings as an event, sensory becoming, using Gilles Deleuze’ og Félix Guattaris’ concept of art as sensations, a compound of affects and percepts. The article also asks whether Biringvads’ paintings can be viewed as a minor practice deterritorializating the major language, as Deleuze and Guattari express it in Kafka – Toward a Minor Literature (1986).  Deleuze and Guattari make minor preferable to major art. Using Michel Foucault’s concept of heterotopias Gunnerød asks whether these paintings invert the real sites that exist within the culture.
