Éva Mag
by Yuvinka Medina and Theodor Ringborg
A recurring theme throughout Éva Mag?s work is the question of standing. Quite obviously this is the topic of the performance turned video Stand up, I said stand up! (2014). In it, the artist attempts to get a life-size clay body to stand, which is of course impossible. Its clay legs buckle and fold at each attempt as Mag continues to struggle with the lifeless body-shaped lump. After a while it becomes ludicrous, almost funny, yet also exceedingly painful. For each of Mag?s attempts, the clay body becomes more animated, more ?real,? and the failure to stand all the more distressing for a viewer to see.00Exhibition: Bonniers Konsthall, Stockholm, Sweden (22.04.-14.06.2020).
