Kris Lemsalu

“The work of Kris Lemsalu is pagan and it’s punk and it’s hers and it’s ours… It’s the lightning of heaven and the volcanic heat in the abyssal ocean. It’s the carnival of objects Frank-ensteined together into concoctions as fragile as life itself. It’s life.”– Andrew Berardini

This book will give you a peek into Kris Lemsalu’s explorations in art and life, which in her case are inseparable. The rich visual material - exhibition views mixed with analogue photos of Kris, her friends and collaborators; of her everyday work at the studio and wild parties she attends, is accompanied with essays by L.A. based writer Andrew Berardini and Estonian curator and writer Tamara Luuk.

Kris Lemsalu is Estonian born artist who creates mixed-media sculptures, installations and performances with unexpected materials, evoking the bestial side of human beings and civilizations which are often underscored by feminist themes. The book with texts by Berardini and Luuk—and images selected by the artist herself—provides an overview of Lemsalu’s oeuvre, focusing on “BIRTH V: Hi and Bye”, her biggest project yet, that was produced for the Estonian Pavilion at the 58th Venice biennale.

"Kris Lemsalu looming on paganlik ja punk - see on tema oma ja see on meie oma...See on välk taevas ja vulkaaniline kuumus kuristikulises ookeanis. See on asjade karneval, mis on frankensteinlikult kokku sobitatud seguks, mis on sama habras kui elu ise. See ongi elu," kirjutab Andrew Berardini raamatus.

Teos annab sissevaate Kris Lemsalu loomingusse ja ellu, mis tema puhul on üksteisest lahutamatud. Rikkaliku visuaalmaterjaliga kataloog sisaldab näitusevaateid Eesti paviljonist 58. Veneetsia biennaalil, ülevaadet Lemsalu varasemast loomingust ja rohkelt analoogfotosid Kris Lemsalu isiklikust kogust. Visuaalmaterjali raamivad tekstid, mille on kirjutanud näituse kaasamõtlejad: Los Angelese kunstikriitik Andrew Berardini ja Eesti kuraator ja kriitik Tamara Luuk.

Kris Lemsalu on sündinud 1985. aastal Tallinnas ning elab ja töötab Viinis ja Tallinnas. Ta loob erinevaid meediumeid ja ootamatuid materjale kombineerivaid skulptuure, installatsioone ja performance’eid. Viimasel ajal on Kris Lemsalu osalenud näitustel Londonis Goldsmiths CCAs (2018), Secessionis Viinis (2018), Performa 17 biennaalil New Yorgis (2017), DRAFi performance'ite õhtul Londonis (2017), Bunshitu galeriis Tokyos (2015), Ferdinand Bauman galeriis Prahas (2015). Lemsalu esindavad galeriid Temnikova & Kasela Tallinnas ja Koppe Astner Glasgow's. Kris Lemsalu loomingut on tunnustatud 2018. aasta riikliku kultuuripreemiaga ja presidendi noore kultuuritegelase preemiaga.
