Part

of

Poem of The Body Hair, bosom, hips, bend of legs, negligent falling hands, all diffused—mine too diffused, Ebb stung by the flow, and flow stung by the ebb, love-flesh swelling and deliciously aching, Limitless limpid jets of love hot and enormous, quivering jelly of love, white-blow and deliri- ous juice, Bridegroom-night of love, working surely and softly into the prostrate dawn, Undulating into the willing and yielding day, Lost in the cleave of the clasping and sweet- fleshed day.

FEATURED ARTIST: Asger Carlsen

Asger Carlsen uses photography as a means to create sculptural work. After digitally photographing the body in various poses within the space of his studio, he edits and transforms the shape and composition of the figure to the point of abstraction. He creates mutated bodily forms, rearranging parts and inserting other objects. Often, the body becomes so abstracted that the images could be considered a photographs of an objects. The final images convey sense of gracefulness and elegance, while simultaneously provoking a visceral reaction. Without a literal depiction, he is able to use images of the body to create new forms, which then reference bodily forms.  

Carlsen was born in Denmark in 1973 and moved to New York in 2007 where he continues to live and work. He has had solo shows at V1 Gallery, Copenhagen; Dittrich & Schlechtriem, Berlin; and Ruttkowski 68, Cologne. He has been featured in The New Yorker, Juxtapoz Magazine, and Interview Magazine, amongst others. He has an upcoming show at Museum of Contemporary Art Rome, which will open September 24.
