Kunstnersamtale / Artist talk: Paul McCarthy at KODE

In English below Velkommen til en samtale i anledning Paul McCarthys utstilling Dead End Hole ved KODE, som er den første omfattende presentasjonen av hans kunstnerskap ved et norsk museum. Samtalen ble spilt inn dagen etter at McCarthy og Lilith Stangenberg hadde en live performance på KODE. McCarthy og Stangenberg snakker om samarbeidet sitt og hvordan det har forandret dem begge to. McCarthy kan blant annet røpe at han er interessert i å gå tilbake til å ha flere slike performancer foran et publikum. Vi får høre mer om arbeidet med skulpturen og tegningene som vises i KODE 4, og om videoinstallasjonen i KODE 2. Hvem er egentlig karakterene som dukker opp i disse verkene? Hva representerer de?

Join us in this conversation between director at KODE Petter Snare and McCarthy, artist and collaborator Lilith Stangenberg and curator Philip Larratt-Smith. McCarthy talks about the different works presented in the exhibition at KODE, and takes us through the process of creating the drawings, videos and performances. The talk was recorded the day after McCarthy´s and Stangenberg´s live performance at KODE. We learn more about their collaboration, and what plans they have for future work together. ABOUT THE EXHIBITION AT KODE Dead End Hole marks the artist’s first major institutional presentation in Norway and will span two sites at the museum – Stenersensalen (KODE2) and Tårnsalen (KODE4). All of the works in the exhibition have been recently produced for Bergen. Curator is Philip Larratt-Smith. Dead End Hole premiered the most recent instalment in McCarthy’s DADDA, CSSC series: DADDA, The Coach, the Skull, 4 Wall (2017/2021), a four-channel video projection in which McCarthy restages the contemporary American political landscape as a regression to the level of "the id". The exhibition will also feature a major new installation, A&E Hanging (working title) (2021), which will be shown for the first time. The work will be on display in the tower of KODE4 alongside a parallel presentation of works on paper from three recent drawing sessions, from 2019 - 2021, with actress Lilith Stangenberg, with whom McCarthy collaborated in Night Vater, his reworking of Liliana Cavani’s The Night Porter (1974). The drawings, some of which are on public display for the first time, belong to McCarthy’s ongoing project, A&E (for Adam and Eve, Adolf and Eva, Arts and Entertainment, America and Europe), which mines the same core themes — the intersections of sex and power, the return of the repressed, the father complex in politics, and the enduring allure of fascism as an ideology and an aesthetic — that animate both the original film and McCarthy’s version.
