Milk-Method Men

Milk-Method Men
Kaido Ole & Erki Kasemets
Galleri Sult, Stavanger
Part of the project Estonian Dream - A festival of Estonian art in Rogaland
26.10.-1.12.13
Paintings on canvas, paintings on milk cartons

Kaido Ole paints impossible objects, still-lifes that could never be in real-life, balancing impossibly on a one-wheeled leg. Though the realistic effects almost make us belive they are real.

Erki Kasemets has for almost thirty years each day painted a milk carton, since sale of milk in cartons started. Only parts of his more than 8000-selection of cartons are on display here, still impressive and forcing you to contemplate each different "diary". Each carton is marked with the date, the address and a random number. The sculptures are emerging from the wall and floating out on the floor like a giant leakage.
