“ A search for equilibrium” exquisitely sums up our sensations when walking around Ostenberg’s works..."

"We are struck instantly... with the realization that Ostenberg’s “cast of characters”, of dancing, leaping, breathtakingly risk-taking figures, seeks to achieve the paradoxical, i.e. a representation of dynamic stasis." 

"The composer John Cage always maintained that “theater is everywhere” and it is the true role of the artist to make visible that “theatrum mundi.” Ostenberg, too, finds vivacious “theater” at every turn, especially when he uncovers, as he puts it, “moments of significant or radical change, brought about not by any modifications in material circumstances, but by a simple change in thought and the way circumstances are perceived.”
