Press Release

1301PE is proud to present its fourth one-person exhibition with LosAngeles based artist Kirsten Everberg. The exhibition features new workthat reflects on the narrative layers of Los Angeles as the site ofmultiple locations. By shift of focus and reframing, and adjustments oflight, Everberg suggests that a space can simultaneously representmultiple geographic and temporal locations.

Everberg highlightsthe subjectivity of memory and the unreliability and relativity of truthas we experience it in the city. The context of a place changes as itis presented and re-presented, borrowing on cultural capital thatreflects its many narratives. Our experience and memory of that samespace remains a deceptive afterimage, further contributing to themythology of the city.

Kirsten Everberg lives and works in LosAngeles. Upcoming in 2011 is Everberg’s first major one-personexhibition in a United States museum. The exhibition opens at ScottsdaleMuseum of Contemporary Art, Scottsdale, AZ in October and will beaccompanied by a catalogue. A major publication on Kirsten Everberg isdue to be released by Les presses du réel during 2011. She has beenincluded in exhibitions in several international and United Statesinstitutions including Le Consortium, Dijon, France; Vancouver ArtGallery, Vancouver BC, Canada; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles,CA; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, CA; and Musée des beaux-arts, Nancy,France.

About the Artist

Kirsten Everberg is a LA-based painter whose work explores the interplay between memory, fragmentation, photography, cinema and the subjective nature of perception. It is Everberg’s seductive surfaces that first capture our gaze. Using a unique combination of oil and enamel paint, her works hover between representation and pure paint. There is always a tension here between the convincing depiction of space, and the abstract skeins of color that dance across the canvas. What appears to be an historic ballroom or dense jungle from far away, is reconfigured into glossy pools of paint close-up. Everberg’s mastery of her medium is demonstrated by how deftly she walks this line. Narrative and image; truth and fiction; surface and what lies beneath – are all woven together in Everberg’s captivating works.
