Nathalie Djurberg & Hans Berg's Grotesque Silicone Tableau and Videos at Lisson Gallery

The exhibition titled 'Who am I to Judge, or, It Must be Something Delicious' by Nathalie Djurberg and Hans Berg took place at Lisson Gallery in London from March 31 to May 6, 2017. It showcased silicone sculptures, including acorns, bananas, and elephants, engaged in provocative behaviors. Accompanying the display, three record players produced sounds of moans and sobs, while speech bubbles conveyed anxious messages. In a nearby space, three stop-motion videos—Dark Side of the Moon (2017), Delights of an Undirected Mind (2016), and Worship (2016)—delved into fundamental emotions. Drawing inspiration from Hieronymus Bosch and Roald Dahl, the pieces employed grotesque allegories to scrutinize human morality and taboos, all while retaining a homemade aesthetic. The exhibition was critiqued in the Summer 2017 issue of Artreview.
