The British newspaper The Guardian<\/em><\/a> has described Van der Werve as the love child of German romantic painter Caspar David Friedrich and the Dutch conceptualist Bas Jan Ader. The artist explores themes of isolation, sadness and loss and admits that dwelling in melancholy is one of his favourite activities. The Washington Post<\/a><\/em> even suggested that those prone to depression might want to skip his films. However, at the most unexpected moments the melancholic mood of his works is complemented by an absurd sense of humour. The artist\u2019s films can also be characterised by a special relationship to music – his films are usually accompanied by Romantic piano music played by Van der Werve, who trained as a classical musician.<\/p>\n

Guido van der Werve\u2019s works have been exhibited in many notable exhibition spaces in Berlin, London, Paris, New York and other places. He has taken part in various internationally significant exhibitions, for example, in Manifesta 7<\/em>, the European Biennial of Contemporary Art in 2008, where two of his video films were shown: \u201cNummer acht, Everything is going to be alright\u201d which depicts the artist walking in front of an icebreaker in the harsh surroundings of the Gulf of Bothnia and \u201cNummer negen, The day I didn\u2019t turn with the world\u201d showing the artist standing on the exact axis of the world for 24 hours, turning clockwise while the earth under him turned anti-clockwise.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
