In conversation with Clare Gemima for Whitehot Magazine, Oldenburg illuminates the exhibition's conceptual framework, delving into the consequences of information overload, and the deliberate choices behind her materials. Influenced by the Situationists International, an organization made up of European social revolutionaries and avant-garde artists (active from 1957 to 1972), her work serves as a poignant commentary on existential, environmental, and economic challenges, and entices viewers to navigate beneath her compelling, unpredictable surfaces.
