Runo Lagomarsino: Nobody Forgets Nothing

The exhibition features a new series of large-scale drawings that explore the fragile boundaries between memory, repetition, and erasure.

In these works, the artist methodically stamps the phrase “Nobody Forgets Nothing” onto paper, layering it until the words dissolve into a dense, intricate surface. What begins as a clear statement transforms into an impenetrable landscape – where meaning is both present and obscured, and remembering and forgetting blur into one.

Also on view is a video documenting the artist pouring Mediterranean sand at the feet of Greek statues in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek. The exhibition explores the persistence of history and how language simultaneously reveals, conceals, and reshapes our understanding of the past.

Fakta

Runo Lagomarsino develops works that present a critical vision on the construction of history-based connection, themes or analysis in current geopolitics. His work presents a well-defined political position; they possess an unfinished and fragmented aspect and acts as provocative reflections on themes of territory and exclusion. His family tree spans the globe, born in Scandinavia to Argentinian parents descended from Italian 'émigrés' who fled Europe during the First World War. His work effortlessly shifts between installation, collage, drawing, performance, and video, but always keeps in line with his heritage and political vision, charting colonial histories and opposing modes of oppression.

Lagomarsino’s works are represented in art institutions such as The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, US; Moderna Museet Stockholm, SE; The National Museum of Art, Oslo, NO. He has exhibited at institutions and biennales like, BASE Progetti per l’arte, Florence, IT; Lunds Konsthall, Lund, SE; Biennal FEMSA, Mexico City, MX; Dallas Museum of Art, Dallas, US; MAM: Mario Mauroner Contemporary Art Salzburg, AT; LACMA: Los Angeles County Museum of Art, US; Malmö Konsthall, Malmö, SE; The Venice Biennial, Venice, IT.
