Gruppenausstellung “Komödie der Vereinfachung” vom 13.01. bis 14.02.2015 in den Kunstarkaden München. Mit Unterstützung von Mehmet Dayi stellen aus: Fabian Ketisch, Kitty & Joy, Marco Miehling, Michael Mieskes, Axel Müller, Patrikk Ostrowsky, Cordula Schieri, Gerrit Schweiger und Florian Häsler.

 

Installation in zwei Räumen mit Kohle und Projektion. Zwei einfache Wege seine Umwelt wahrzunehmen, sie abzutasten Linie für Linie — einmal per Hand und einmal per Technik.

 

Das Hin und Her dieser beiden Räumen und Methoden baut eine Spannung auf zwischen Vor- und Rückschau unserer Wahrnehmung.

After cooking, cleaning, washing, etc. there might be only a little time left.

The idea in this experiment is to combine my wish to work creatively together with my daily routines. And what i discovered, is that there are a lot of invisible traces, that are just waiting to be manipulated to become visible.

 

The first series of these autonomous drwaings in order to discover daily traces is called: lignes d´extase

The images were generated by a washing machine. While I am doing my laundry there is a piece of paper on top of the machine. Glases with pens taped to them translate the vibrance in to traces on to the canvas.

Further Use

The Aesthetics of this work were used to generate the recreation of the Veuve Cliquot Mailbox.

Making visual cross references to champagne sparklings, hand written letters, geographical maps,

the “remouage technique” and the vibrating excitement of receiving a message.

The Vernissage of the exhibition “Leiblichkeit und Sexualität” at the Votivchurch in Vienna took place at the 25. of April. After ingenious opening speeches from Priest Toni Faber, Francesca von Habsburg Lothringen and the curator David Rastas on the topic of the exhibtion and the dialogue between modern art and sacred spaces a wonderful evening accompanied by the Choire Cantus Iuvenis took place.

 

Besides the nice cooperation with the artist David von der Stein and our common realisation of a video mapping “Heaven is place where nothing ever happens” — to one of the chapels, there was so many more to see from famous and aspiring artists.

Most inspirational for Silke, who is also a fashion fotographer, was the work of Harry Callahan an his technique of double exposure. The video was shown as introdutcion to her runway show.

So i was very glad when they asked me to do a special Vj Show on their two evenings of birthday partying. The projections took place over the whole ceiling and we even made some special Videoloops with all of their team-members showing up and wishing all the best for this great club in the future. By the way I had a great time working for Ozon, they got a really helpful and supporting team :)

It was made on low budget with one projector and some gazes. It´s purpose was to cite the rhythm of the industrial architecture and the electronic music played that eveneing.
