General Mold. Future Ashes

------------------------

------------------------

…as the mundane monotony of everyday life continuously rummages our collective corpuses with its relentless and aged atmosphere of amorousity, of anarchy, of chaos, of delirium, of dementia, of chronic insanity, of bourgeoisie irresponsible idleness, of psychic anomalies (for it is not the world as such that has been torn asunder, but man himself), of pure hypocrisy, of unfounded, evil contempt for all desired progress. To see this hastily propagation represents the reflection of the brutal breeding of the world, a scorn reproduction of the forces of the economy, violating any array of potential agency.

Leander Djønne (1981) was born in Odda, Norway. He was educated at the Art Academy in Oslo, Bergen, Staedelschüle Frankfurt am Main (proff.

During the last couple of years Leander Djønne has been engaged in an art practice that moves between multiple mediums–film, installations, text, performance, photography and teaching. This in an ongoing artistic investigation into the relations of politics, history and knowledge production. To this aim, he employs conceptual and methodological approaches borrowed from artistic and academic practices such as film, poetry, theater, linguistics, and journalism. Leander Djønne is one of the founders of the collaborative project The Parallel Action and is also involved with the artist run intiative Dortmund Bodega, Oslo.
