Blolm Blelp (°1937, A Boat, Greenland) creates performances, mixed media artworks and conceptual artworks. By parodying mass media by exaggerating certain formal aspects inherent to our contemporary society, Blelp makes works that can be seen as self-portraits. Sometimes they appear idiosyncratic and quirky, at other times, they seem typical by-products of American superabundance and marketing.
His performances are notable for their perfect finish and tactile nature. This is of great importance and bears witness to great craftsmanship. By merging several seemingly incompatible worlds into a new universe, he considers making art a craft which is executed using clear formal rules and which should always refer to social reality.
His works bear strong political references. The possibility or the dream of the annulment of a (historically or socially) fixed identity is a constant focal point. By focusing on techniques and materials, he uses a visual vocabulary that addresses many different social and political issues. The work incorporates time as well as space – a fictional and experiential universe that only emerges bit by bit.
His works are saturated with obviousness, mental inertia, clichés and bad jokes. They question the coerciveness that is derived from the more profound meaning and the superficial aesthetic appearance of an image. Blolm Blelp currently lives and works in Moon.
