Marie Lund’s new show at Laura Bartlett Gallery, London crystallizes the Danish artist’s concern with how objects function in space.

Rucksacks and jeans

In this latest exhibition, Lund uses moulds in the heavy Attitudes and Loads works to make us think about the surfaces of things no longer there, the surface that is referred to but never made visible. Attitudes are concrete casts of the inside of the artist’s jeans whilst Loads perform the same trick with rucksacks.

Marie Lund: artist and style

Lund’s work, like that of her one time collaborator Nina Beier, often examines her subjects through a playful consideration of their function and history, hence when she makes a sculpture of a rucksack she throws the rucksack away and keeps only the space that it once described. This produces a melancholic effect in the Laura Bartlett art gallery that is tinged with the wry humour of the work’s title.

The sense that everything is the wrong way around, or inside out, is irrepressible in this contemporary art exhibition, it gently pushes you to linger on the precipice of the absurd.

    SAZERACS AT SATAN'S WHISKERS

    This typically hip East London cocktail bar is just a few minutes walk from Laura Bartlett. Expect taxidermy and braces.

    FOR DINNER

    Try Mr Buckley’s on Hackney Road is a typically trendy east London eatery; a little ambitiously pretentious but worth a visit. Start in the lower-tier cocktail bar. The espresso Martini packs a punch. Upstairs inventive small plates allow for a great sharing experience. Try the lobster mac & cheese –a love or hate dish.
