David Maljković

The Renaissance Society is a contemporary art space that has a very strong character when it comes to architectural design. Artist David Maljković describes it as a “monumental space that is one dimensional with a really particular condition of light.” The vinyl floors are so present—not concrete or plastic—they are tactile. Known for his collaborative approach to curation and attention to details, Maljković worked with Renaissance Society curator Karsten Lund for the exhibit “Also on View,” to select works that complement the space. The Weekly’s Manisha AR, sat down with both artist and curator to go behind the scenes of the exhibit and talk about the ways in which the space inspired the show.

His work has been included in prominent group exhibitions around the world such as the 56th Biennale di Venezia, 29th Sao Paulo Biennial, and two of the Istanbul Biennials, among many others. Chicago-based curator Karsten Lund has been with the Renaissance Society for the past three years and curated multiple shows in the space.

David Maljković & Karsten Lund on Crafting "Also On View" for the Renaissance Society

Karsten Lund is Assistant Curator at The Renaissance Society with recent curated exhibitions including Ben Rivers em&gt;Urth and Sadie Benning's Shared Eye. Previously, Lund was Curatorial Assistant at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, contributing to major group exhibitions including The Way of the Shovel: Art as Archaeology and The Freedom Principle: Experiments in Art and Music, 1965 to Now.Additionally, he has produced curatorial projects at other venues, including the Museum of Contemporary Photography, New Capital Projects, Hyde Park Art Center, and a factory shortly before its demolition. UNTHOUGHT ENVIRONMENTS     Daniel G. Baird,  Marissa Lee Benedict,  Nina Canell &amp; Robin Watkins,  Revital Cohen &amp; Tuur Van Balen,  Cécile B. Evans, Peter Fend,  Florian Germann,  Jochen Lempert,  Nicholas Mangan,  Miljohn Ruperto,  Xaviera Simmons  Start with the ancient elements—earth, water, fire, air—and then expand your view of our elemental world. Think about sunlight, weather systems, rare earth minerals, and electromagnetic forces, to name only a few other things. Phenomena like these are integral to our daily lives but they can be elusive, easily forgotten, or deliberately kept out of sight: the hidden components of our virtual worlds, factors in geopolitics, or deeper influences on human habits and cultures. What are our “unthought environments” today? Our elemental surroundings become another kind of vital infrastructure, seemingly there to be used and overlooked, but the elements have shaped us, too, and sometimes they veer into the foreground. Unthought Environments is informed by evolving discussions in various fields, including media studies, ecology, and philosophy. Against this backdrop, new and recent artworks offer a set of explorations with different focal points in the elemental sphere as it intersects with our more human-made domains. The artists’ videos, sculptures, photographs, installations, and digital images delve into the state of water in multiple countries; the mining operations that feed our computers; the effects of the sun; electromagnetic fields made visible; dust storms; and other phenomena brought to life. Curated by Karsten Lund.
