Äkki42 Jude Griebel


Jude Griebel is Äkkigalleria's artist in residency for one week in April 2017.
During his residency he produced the piece Plastic Ghost which was then shown in the Glass Elevator (mobile street container) on Kävelykatu Street in downtown Jyväskylä from April 6th to 17th, 2017.


In an era in which plastic waste is taking a significant toll on our oceans and landfills, this work elevates the disposable and unconsidered nature of plastic to the monstrous and the mythological. With empty eyes and a consuming mouth the work is both grotesque and playful, seeking to expand understandings of our impact on the world around us.

Äkkigallerian residenssivieraaksi saapuu maaliskuun lopulla kanadalainen nykytaiteilija Jude Griebel. Griebel tunnetaan kantaa-ottavista veistoksistaan, joiden materiaaleina taiteilija käyttää sekä luonnosta löytämiään materiaaleja, että ihmisten kulutustavaroiden jäänteitä. Hän asuu ja työskentelee Berliinissä ja New Yorkissa.
Jyväskylän keskustassa kymmenen päivää esillä oleva teos Plastic Ghost kommentoi suhdettamme kulutukseen ja kuluttamisen oheistuotteina syntyvään yhä kasvavaan käsittämättömän suureen muovijätemäärään. Olemme kuluttamassa itsellemme kummitusta, joka ei tule jättämään meitä rauhaan seuraavienkaan vuosikymmenten kuluessa.

Teos julkistetaan torstaina 6.4. Klo 19:30 Kävelykadulla. Tervetuloa!
