Jesper Just at the Brooklyn Museum

Danish artist Jesper Just (director of the fabulous multimedial opera True Love Is Yet To Come for Performa in 2005) is shown at the Brooklyn Museum at the moment. I went there on Saturday to get an idea of his video work and was fascinated and impressed: It seems that Just found a way to mark the hideout of those instants that let us doubt in the distinction between dream and reality. He exaggurates the moment and supposedly everyday situations suddenly shift in a fantastic world, and with his visual language it afterwards seems like it always has been like this. In his new work, Romantic Delusions, even the simultanity of a story shown on three screens seems very natural. If you believe in power of moments inbetween, you should go and see it. Also if you don’t. Also there’s the huge Gilbert & George retrospective that’s not to be missed. So go Brooklyn.
