STOP: Texing While Walking. er titlen på den nyeste udstilling af Anders Reventlov. Udstillingen tager udgangspunkt i advarselsskilte fra Japan, der alle advarer om hvor farligt det kan være at sms’e, skrive mails eller andre former for beskeder, imens man bevæger sig rundt i det offentlige rum.
Udstillingen viser et maleri, der mimer japansk populærkultur i form af forsiden af en japansk porno manga tegneserie. Maleriet ses i samspil med 4 blyantstegninger, der alle har motiver af mennesker som kommer til skade i forbindelse med, at de tekster på deres telefoner, samt et væld af sort/hvide tegninger.
I baglokalet viser Reventlov et uddrag af videoklip fra historiske arkiver, så den besøgende får chancen for at forholde sig til, eller blive mindet om, historien og menneskets grusomhed.
Med STOP: Texting While Walking. søger Anders Reventlov et argument for, om mennesket fortjener sin plads i verden. Han fordriver selv sin tid med tegninger, i doodle karakter, kunstnerens egen virkelighedsflugt, imens at han venter på, at den totale forløsning bliver en realitet.
Anders Reventlov (f. 1984) er uddannet fra Det Jyske Kunstakademi i 2009. Han arbejder både med store vægmalerier i det offentlige rum samt mindre formater som tegning og serigrafi. Han er især optaget af kunstværket som en evig proces og omdrejningspunktet i Reventlovs værker er ofte forholdet mellem skrift og billede. Anders Reventlov har gennem årene udstillet på gallerier og museer i Danmark såvel som i udlandet, heriblandt Tyskland og Brasilien. Desuden repræsenterede Reventlov Danmark på udstillingen Graffiti Fine Art på MUBE museet, Sao Paolo i 2010.

Opening hours: Wednesdays and Thursdays 2-5 pm, or by appointment.
STOP: Texting while walking. is the title of the newest exhibition by Anders Reventlov. The exhibitions title is borrowed from Japanese warning posters, that are supposed to make people aware of the dangers involved with texting while moving about in public space.
The exhibition consists of a painting that mimes the frontpage of a typical Japanese porn manga comic book. The painting is shown next to an abundance of black/white drawings, as well as 4 pencil drawings all showing people getting hurt while texting on their phones. In the backroom Reventlov shows a selection of video clips, depicting excerpts from historical archives, contemplating the horrors of humanity.
With STOP: Texting while walking. Reventlov is seeking an argument for the continuation of human existence. The artist himself is using his precious time to escape reality by doodling as much as possible, while waiting for final redemption.
Anders Reventlov (born 1984) is educated from the Jutland Academy of Fine Art, 2009. Anders Reventlov works in various mediums, such as painting, drawing, graphics, sculpture and installation, and has exhibited on galleries and museums in Denmark and abroad.
