World’s Smallest Horse, BMDO’s sophomore solo exhibition at Oigåll Projects, treats space as an emotional medium shaped as much by disjointed memory as by material. The soft hum of dealership air-con, The Whole Circus, and the melancholy of dumbed-down Rothkos and half-remembered González-Torres’. Commercial drip trays go Frankenstein on USM, festoons get their glow-up, and tapestries imagined as paintings return to furniture.
The works lean on atmosphere more than narrative, resisting neutrality in favour of richness, texture and human presence.
The collection is not bound to a single material, category of object or fixed aesthetic, yet remains unmistakably BMDO in its material handling. It leans into the chaos yet resolves into a strangely unified experience. Less sanitised, more stained and sticky.
Motifs recognisably BMDO recur throughout: minimal but sharp repurposing of found objects and materials, tapestries, and handmade, almost naïve qualities carry through with precision. Colour and line are crucial here, gestural interventions that push objects toward abstraction, where furniture edges into painting and painting edges into spectacle.
