As a connoisseur of contemporary art, I find myself utterly captivated by the enigmatic works of Danish visual artist Nina Beier. Her unique perspective on the world, especially her interpretation of objects as narrators, resonates deeply with me.
According to Danish visual artist Nina Beier, even inanimate objects like fake designer bags can be considered as speaking in a symbolic sense. To her, these items have a physical reality and also represent something else, much like readymade sculptures. Originally trained in photography, Beier views the diverse array of objects that fill our world – from expensive to everyday items – through this lens.
At the Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma in Helsinki, Beier’s latest solo exhibition, titled Parts, is on display. This exhibit delves into the narratives concealed within a wide range of objects, from artistic ceramics to vehicles like Land Rovers and commonplace items such as plastic containers. The show features both new and previously created works. In China (2015), Beier presents a series of intentionally broken fine china ceramic vessels depicting various dog breeds and ornate vases. Some were made in China, while others in Italy, each mirroring the other subtly to suggest the unseen global markets and trade routes beneath the surface.
Every item you find nearby carries a hidden tale woven into its creation process – from the resources mined, to the laborers crafting the goods, the shipping of items to numerous owners who will eventually possess it until its demise. In essence, every object is entwined with the global economy and complex power dynamics among individuals and species, as Kiasma put it in a statement. Beier gathers objects that have evolved symbolically over time and place; their significance constantly being redefined.
Nina Beier: Parts will be on view in Helsinki until September 8, 2024.
