Power Structures

Morten Jensen Vågen
  • Closed

In this exhibition, Morten Jensen Vågen presents a series of new works inspired by urban environments and everyday objects. The sculptures are made from cardboard and paper, and resemble items you might find around the city. Composed in stacks, they create playful interactions between shapes and meanings.

His works draws inspiration from activist gestures and creative ways of engaging with urban space. For example, activists have discovered placing a traffic cone on the hood can disable self-driving cars. Vågen uses this simple act as the basis for one of his large sculptures, highlighting how individuals can resist structures of power through bottom-up initiatives and actions.

The title, Power Structures, points to how power operate in public space, from the influence of tech companies to the visible excesses of capitalism. By using fragile materials and familiar forms, Vågen highlights both the instability of these systems and the imagination behind everyday acts of resistance.
