Jan Christensen
BUIA Gallery
541 W 23rd StBUIA Gallery is pleased to present Good Times Make You Think That You¹re the Lucky One, artist Jan Christensen¹s first solo exhibition with the gallery. Good Times Make You Think That You¹re the Lucky One, an installation revolving around a carefully arranged, extensive DVD soundtrack compilation of 20 second bytes of an array of songs from various artists and musical genres, mixed by the artist spreads throughout the gallery via an array of speakers each varyingly transmitting different portions of the soundtrack. A small central star feed like video loop of slowed down, blurred lights, abstracted from an evening highway accompanies the sound component, establishing a feeling of a hypnotic, perhaps melancholic journey. Good Times Make You Think That You¹re the Lucky One considers the notion of place- physically, mentally, and emotionally as constructed by music and a small visual.
Jan Christensen is a graduate of The National College of Art and Design in Oslo and a new gallery artist. A recipient of a Pollock-Krasner and Ingrid Lindbäck Laangard Foundation grants, Christensen has had residencies at the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin and FRAC des Pays de la Loire in Nantes. Recent exhibitions include a project room exhibition at Yvon Lambert in New York, a solo exhibition in conjunction with Art Basel at the Kunsthaus Baselland, and a solo exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum in Ghent. This year Jan Christensen participated in BREEZER at the gallery as well as in Please Love Me: Architectural Style and the Love Letter at the Walker¹s Point Center for the Arts in Milwaukee- both met with great reception. We are excited to announce the opening of Christensen¹s greatly anticipated solo exhibition.
