Gallery Christoffer Egelund is delighted to present Christian Just Linde’s solo exhibition Inner Search. Christian Just Linde (b. 1972) graduated from Florence Academy of Art in 1995, and since then he has worked intensively with sculpture, painting and drawing.
This exhibition presents more than 140 new drawings, which both explore and challenge the human mind. The good sides as well as the evil. Together the pieces manifest themselves as a gigantic organic form. This form, in itself a work of art, spreads over several walls in the gallery and thus cannot be perceived in its totality. The observer has to look deep into the depths of the individual works and into himself as well. The drawings have multiple levels of meaning, and the wealth of detail is both impressive and alluring, and it is from here that new dimensions and stories about emotions, dreams and demons constantly unfold.

VORSPANNKINO
54 titles of an exhibition
A stunning beauty weightlessly floating through space. As she gradually unveils words emerge and descend, covering her body like fig leaves. At the climax of this intro Barbarella delightfully floats before our eyes in paradisiacal nudity.
Umbral apparitions of uneven forms in the dark. Rhythmically to the ethereal play of a violine, the orifices of a face emerge as if reflected in a distorted mirror. The black gorge of a wide-opened throat engulfs our gaze and threatens to devour the titel Seconds.
The extraordinary challenge of combining writing, image, and sound to introduce a theme without giving too much away has majorly ushered and defined the emergence and style of a whole genre. Showing more than 50 opening and closing titles, the exhibition VORSPANNKINO (cinema of titles) is a premiere to honor this special form of film.

LAY IN THE REINS
BELLWETHER is pleased to announce Alyssa Pheobus’s first solo show, LAY IN THE REINS. The exhibition features a group of large-scale text drawings that excavate the lyrics of love songs and other fragments of language through an elaborate process of performative inscription. Positioning her disciplined and labor-intensive drawing practice as an analog to other subjective performances of text, Pheobus both “covers” and “samples” in an attempt to engage her source material critically and libidinally.
Many of the texts that Pheobus “performs” through drawing are stirred by a fascination with the threatening eroticism of violent sexuality. They also mark intersections between the language of aggressive desire and the hyperbolically “masculine.” Juxtaposed with escape fantasies in which acts of abandonment become expressions of agency, these themes remain carefully contained within a system that imagines both the limits of language and the experience of desire as prison-like. The perpetual chafing against captivity that is a palpable subject in Pheobus’s work is mirrored by her drawing practice, which is at once restrained and workmanlike, compulsive and devotional.
The tactile surfaces of Pheobus’s drawings, composed on cobbled-together sheets of handmade cotton rag paper, are incised with stitch-like graphite characters that form the building blocks for an austere visual language. This idiosyncratic graphic vocabulary simultaneously evokes instruments of confinement-barbed wire, cells, cages, nets, straps-and the psychic calendar of tally marks scratched upon a wall.
A native of Maryland, Alyssa Pheobus received her MFA from Columbia University in 2008. Her work has recently been featured in group exhibitions at Tracy Williams, Ltd., Exit Art, and Dieu Donné in New York. Pheobus lives and works in Brooklyn.
