"Together with pins, nails, tape, glue, and staples, it’s often just simple magnets that have been used to place objects in tension within the body of work presented here. Martin Huger’s artistic approach triggers our understanding of and relationship to the binary forces of attraction and repulsion that appear to govern our lives. The constructions and images he confronts us with reveal that analogous forces are at work in the constant pushing and pulling that reshapes a metropolitan area as well as in the strategies of persuasion commonly used in advertising, fashion and marketing. Hopping on a path made of invisible semantic associations, the artist has consciously let one word or thought attract another. This process forms an eclectic narrative around the notions of elevation, navigation and capital, as if they were bound together by a magnetic field."
