John Kørner - Roulette Russe 2017
JOHN KØRNER is the most comprehensive publication on the artist to date. In the monograph, Kørner is highlighted as a multi-artist, for whom painting remains the pictorial form in which he has unreserved confidence.
In conversation with Marie Nipper, who curated Kørner’s retrospective exhibition Forever Problems at Kunsthal Charlottenborg in 2017, Kørner talks about the topics that have engaged him in recent years and about his desire to express himself in spatial installations that go beyond the limits traditionally defined by the canvas:
In the essays The Kørner problem and Good and Ill Together by curator Max Andrews (frieze) and art critic Oliver Basciano (ArtReview) the two reflect on Kørner’s year-long work with the 'problem' as a recurrent figure. For better or for worse, problems are part of life in this world. Problems are essential, for humans as well as for art.
