Lives and works in Aarhus, Denmark

Asger Dybvad Larsen relates dialectically to his works and to art history. The main art historical reference for his work is minimalism, where one seeks to keep the subject out of the work. Through the work with simple forms and materials, a position is established in which the viewer senses the work instead of deliberately reading it. Minimalism presents a work, which does not postulate to be anything but what you see. Form, structure and material make up the object, which appears to be devoid of the expressive artist-ego. It is the immediate physical experience that defines the reading of the work. The studio acts as an archive which he can flip back and forth in, and where he can separate, compose and construct new contexts from independent works, processes and thoughts. But at the same time, this archive is in constant motion and development, and therefore the individual works appear as snapshots of the artistic journey through the times and places of the archive. He denotes himself as a; "... powerless archivist for the indigenous family tree whose branches I constantly break off as proof that the structure really exists".
