VIGGO MORTENSEN
ERRANT VINE
March 24 ­ May 13, 2000

The Robert Mann Gallery is pleased to announce the New York debut of Viggo Mortensen's photography and mixed media works.

Mortensen's photography and large-scale mixed media works carry the intensity of his career. Actor, writer, photographer and painter, Mortensen's journeys have taken an irregular path. Filling notebooks with poetry and drawings, rummaging for salvage to layer into his works, he has an inexhaustible supply of material. Mortensen's mixed media has the true nature of outsider art but also take the purposive form of work by an artist who reinterprets the hours of his existence. Even the works get reinterpreted as Mortensen returns to his canvases, again and again, to add words or paint or to scratch away at the surface.

If the mixed media pieces are the outcome of compacted time and energy, the photographs are pauses along his errant trail. Mortensen's photographs are gentle, sensuous, but haunting. They evoke somber characters, locked in a moment, positioned for tension and waiting for resolve. They are patches of his life, yearning to attach themselves back to a quilt, but he keeps moving.
Mortensen's self taught techniques come naturally to a man who has acted in twenty movies, whose life in between sets is driven by an obsessive need to make things. And, he keeps making things because, as Mortensen says, "Making is a way of finding out."


An illustrated catalogue will accompany the exhibition.
