Das Triptychon handelt von der Beziehung zwischen den Altpreußen und den Teutonen -
den ersten christlichen Kriegern, Missionaren und Erbauern.
Ich stelle die preußischen Heiden als nackte Götter des Pantheons der Altpreußen dar.
Ende des 10.Jahrhunderts töteten die Preußen den Bischof der Stadt Prag, den Heiligen Adalbert. Zu Beginn des 11.Jahrhunderts töteten sie den Missionar Bruno. In den darauf folgenden drei Jahrhunderten kam es zu mehreren Kreuzzügen gegen die Preußen. Nichtsdestotrotz wurde im 14.Jahrhundert das Territorium der Altpreußen von deutschen Kolonisten vollständig besiedelt. Dutzende Schlösser und Städte wurden gebaut. Mir scheint, daß die Bezeichnung Preußen, die sich auf die kulturelle Bildung deutsch-sprachiger Völker bezieht, eine seltsame Wahl ist.
Ich halte den Titel der Ausstellung "Komet Preußen" für zutreffend. Von einem mystischen Standpunkt aus betrachtet, hat ein Staat, der sich den Namen eines feindlichen Stamms gegeben hat, den Raum, der ihn umgibt, zu sehr romantisiert. Romantismus an sich kann nicht lange bestehen und die ganze Geschichte Preußens ist ein Beispiel für historischen Romantismus.

Carlos Forns Bada nasce a Madrid il 23 marzo 1956.
Risiede a Sevilla sino al 1966. Tra il 1973 e il 1976 frequenta la Facoltà di Architettura di Madrid. Nel 1976 inizia gli studi presso la Facoltà di Belle Arti di Madrid, lasciandola nel 1978. Nel 1981 riceve una borsa di studio dal Ministero della Cultura. Nel 1989 partecipa, su invito della rivista d’Arte Cimal, al CITAC, un incontro di giovani artisti europei, curato da Antonio d’Avossa, durante il quale vive e lavora per un mese insieme a Jean Michel Othoniel, Sthephanus Heidacker e Andrea Nurcis, tra gli altri. Viene poi scelto – con Sigfrido Martín Begué – dalla dita Loewe, in occasione del suo 150° anniversario, per disegnare le vetrine dei suoi negozi. Vive e lavora tra Valencia e Madrid, dipingendo per lunghi periodi di tempo a Roma.
Sin dai suoi esordi si caratterizza per una pittura fortemente plastica, molto vicina alla poetica dei Valori Plastici. Poetica che, successivamente e in tempi recenti, ha assunto una qualità stilistica sempre più personale, nella visionarietà di una flora apparentemente immaginaria, ma sempre desunta dal vero, in cui si va inserendo la solitudine di uomini percorsi da una malinconia appena dissimulata dalla componente accesa, e perciò altamente ironica, del cromatismo. La sua è una ricerca improntata a una forte carica spirituale temperata da una solida concretezza che lo porta a esprimere immagini di grande suggestione evocativa, intrise in una atmosfera avvolgente, senza tempo, grondante di luce, interrotta a tratti da ombreggiature che più che oscurare sembrano intagliare i corpi evidenziandone la plasticità.
Tra i principali esponenti della pittura figurativa in Spagna e in Europa (un suo dipinto del 1989, acquistato da Edy de Wilde per la Fondazione ARCO di Madrid, è stato inserito tra le cento migliori opere spagnole del secolo Ventesimo), ha al suo attivo una ricca e intensa attività espositiva avviata nel 1976.
Trentasei sono le esposizioni personali sinora tenute: 1976, Galería Edurne, Madrid; 1978, Montacargas–Gordillo, Facultad de Bellas Artes, Madrid, (Installazione); 1979, Momento de que pende la Eternidad, Galería Ovidio, Madrid; 1980, Regreso del Abismo, Galería Estampa, Madrid; 1981, Galería Ovidio, Madrid; Regreso del Abismo, Galería Dos i Una, Barcelona; 1982, Galería Estampa, Madrid; Galleri Dobloug, Oslo; 1983, Galería del Ateneo, Málaga; 1984, Fotografías, Galería Ovidio (con Julián Gandía), Madrid; Carlos Forns Bada 1983-84, Galería Ovidio, Madrid; 1985, Galería Rafael Ortiz, Sevilla; Galería García Cubo, Marbella; 1986, Cuadros, Galería Palace, Granada; Galería Estampa, Madrid; 1988, Galería Estampa, Madrid; 1989, Raab Galerie, Berlin; Galleria Gian Ferrari, Milano; Il teatro dell‘amore, Centro di Cultura Ausoni, Roma; 1990, The Geological Garden, Raab Gallery at Millbank, London; 1991, Gian Ferrari Arte Contemporanea, Milano; 1992, Forns Bada, Sala Esposizioni del Banco Zaragozano, Zaragoza; 1993, Galería Columela, Madrid; 1996, Viaggio in Tunisia, Il Polittico, Roma; Galería Estampa, Madrid; Espai Lucas Arte Contemporáneo, Valencia; 1997, Viaje al Centro de la Tierra, Galería Rafael Ortiz, Sevilla; 1998, Galería Estampa, Madrid; 1999, Giardini dell‘Estasi, Il Polittico, Roma; 2000, Jardín Iridiscente, Galería Víctor Saavedra, Barcelona; 2001, Naturalia Park, Galería Estampa, Madrid; 2003, Jardín de los camaleones, Galería Estampa, Madrid; Los discípulos en Sais, Il Polittico, Roma; 2005, Crepúscolo de primavera, Galería Estampa, Madrid; 2006, Sinápsis, Galería Mito, Barcelona; 2007, Teatro botánico, Il Polittico, Roma.

Casey Vogt creates ornate, mandala-like compositions that serve
as a backdrop for politically-charged figurative scenes. The most
recent figures explore Americans' relationships to drug use, the War On
Drugs, and the pharmaceutical industry. The backgrounds are composed
of masses of layered dots and myriad colors, recalling a pharmacopoeia
of pills.. They act as a painterly and metaphysical contrast to the
socio-political narratives presented by the figures. With their
euphoric colors and psychedelic compositions, Vogt's work proposes
painting as another mind-altering substance.

David Trullo ( Madrid, 1969)
FISHERS OF MEN (2005-2006)
Dyptich, 400 x 50 cm (each 200 x 50), b&w photographs on dibond.
‘Follow me and I will make you Fishers of Men’
St. Matthew, 4-19
‘Fishers of men’ is an essay which explores the representation of masculinity.
It starts with the figure of the Christian apostles, as an example of the ‘homo virtus’, or man of virtues, confronted to the figure of the ‘bear’, a gay man full of hair as the stereotype of the ‘hipermale’ The idea is to compare the use of iconographical items that are common to the representation and appearance of both groups.
The representation of the 12 apostles in western art has barely changed over centuries: it offers a catalogue of references that are used today in very different contexts. For instance, the beard has represented signs of maturity, stability and confidence. Also God and Christ are almost always depicted with a beard since the Middle Ages. For the bears, though, it has become as well a powerful sex-appeal feature.
It is interesting to focus on the case of St. John the Evangelist. He is the only one who seems not to belong to a compact group where it is difficult to identify single ones. He looks young, feminine and beautiful. He is the exception which makes the rule work. The rest of the apostles will be seen today as a homogeneous group that could be described as a ‘sect’. The appearance warns of a particular attitude to life, (in the case of bears of sexual preference) Just by extrapolating all these elements to a new contemporary phenomena, we find that the bears actually copy (Without knowing? Because of lack of historical references?) all the signs that made the apostles a male group which excludes the rest of men. It is amazing how bears reproduce those appearance signs with incredible accuracy: bearded, hairy, corpulent…Even in the ‘bear language’ we can find examples of the endless subcategories that could be based on a particular apostle. Then, St. John the Baptist would be a so called ‘chaser’ (somebody who fancies big hairy men, but who is not a bear himself); Judas could be a ‘leatherbear’, and so on.
The Project is composed of 12 portraits of ‘bearmodels’ who play the role of a particular apostle. They are based on prints and paintings that were very common in Spain in the 17th century. All of them wear or carry objects or symbols that used to help the believer in order to recognize each of them, according to the traditional representation and iconography. They are also identified with names, not the biblical ones but nicknames that are used today, as they are not saints but ordinary people who ‘play holy’ (St. Matthew is now Matt, St. John is Johnny, St. James is Jim, and so on)
The project is to be exhibited in two collections of six images, with a gap in the centre. Six apostles look to the right, and the other six to the left. The empty space in the centre suggests the presence of Jesus. But he is not there: the master is not there anymore. They are left alone.
I am not interested in provoking, or take a particular theme and do a remake, better still I am interested in how symbols and images make us see endless realities, how they all change or adapt to different codes, how people use them to seduce or abuse or control or to be happy. Some people might see this work as a sacrilege, others a joke, hopefully they would use my images as they would use any other: to seduce or abuse or control or to be happy.

Edward Lucie-Smith was born in 1933 at Kingston, Jamaica. He moved to Britain in 1946, and was educated at King's School, Canterbury and Merton College, Oxford, where he read History. Subsequently he was an Education Officer in the R.A.F., then worked in advertising for ten years before becoming a freelance author. He is now an internationally known art critic and historian, who is also a published poet (member of the Académie Européenne de Poésie, winner of the John Llewellyn Rhys Memorial Prize), an anthologist and a practising photographer.
He has published more than a hundred books in all, including a biography of Joan of Arc (recently republished by Penguin in paperback as a 'classic biography'), a historical novel, and more than sixty books about art, chiefly but not exclusively about contemporary work. He is generally regarded as the most prolific and the most widely published writer on art, with sales for some titles totalling over 250,000 copies. A number of his art books, among them Movements in Art since 1945 , Visual Arts of the 20th Century, A Dictionary of Art Terms and Art Today are used as standard texts throughout the world. Movements in Art since 1945, first published in 1969, has been continuously in print since that date, and has been completely updated five times since first publication. A new edition was published in March 2001. He has been curator of a number of exhibitions, including three Peter Moores Projects at the Walker Art Gallery Liverpool, (surveys of contemporary British art), The New British Painting (which toured US venues in 1988-90) and two artist retrospectives, Lin Emery and George Dunbar, both for the New Orleans Museum of Art. He has been a jury member for the John Moores prize exhibition in Liverpool, and for biennials in Cairo, Sharjah, Alexandria and Belgrade. He was recently curator of 'New British Art'. at the Orion Gallery in Ostend (April-June 2001), and of 'New Classicism: Artists of the Ideal', which opened at Palazzo Forti, Verona (April-September 2002).
His photographs have been the subject of solo exhibitions in London, Brussels, Barcelona, Tel Aviv, Rome, Kuala Lumpur, and St Petersburg. A book of his photographs, 'Flesh & Stone', was published by the French imprint Ipso Facto Publishers, in October 2000. There was an American museum show at the Butler Institute of Art, Youngstown, Ohio, in February/March 2003.
His work as a photographer is included in the collections of the National Portrait Gallery, London; the Reina Sofia Museum, Madrid; the New Orleans Museum of Art; the Butler Institute of Art, Youngstown, Ohio; the Herzog August Bibliothek, Wolfenbüttel, and the Frissiras Museum, Athens.

Elizabeth Ferry blurs the edges between the corporeal and
ethereal. Ranging from simple grids to elaborate stacks of folded
fabric, Ferry composes color and form into rhythms that perpetually,
illusionistically reconfigure themselves. Through carefully cued light
and site specificity, they shift from mundane materials to
enigmatically charged visual sensations. For example, at first glance
Ferry’s grids appear as formal white structures set upon a wall painted
with bright colors. However, a move from side to side reveals that the
edges of the structure are painted with discordant dashes of
fluorescent hues that refract upon the wall. Subverting the fast pace
of everyday transactions between people, places, and information, Ferry
applies abstraction and illusion to offer moments of sensitive
reflection.

Gianluca Chiodi nasce a Edolo (BS)
il primo giorno di primavera del 1966.
Dopo l'infanzia trascorsa a Milano si traferisce con la famiglia a Reggio Emilia dove prosegue la sua formazione scolastica e successivamente inizia a lavorare nell'azienda del padre.
A trent'anni, il desiderio di maggior indipendenza, lo spinge a trovare lavoro in uno studio fotografico, mosso dalla passione per il suggestivo mistero di consegnare al tempo l'istante catturato e fissato con la macchina fotografica.
L'amore per il senso estetico e l'abile utilizzo della luce, lo portano presto a lavorare per il mondo pubblicitario senza però trascurare la costante ricerca di nuovi "modi di vedere".
Nel 2003 la proposta di una Personale presso un Caffè Letterario, lo porta a produrre, grazie all'innato senso sinestetico, "MOKA", una serie di immagini rubate al quotidiano rituale tutto italiano del caffè, che realizza direttamente sul fornello di casa ottenendo una serie di "macro" cariche di sensualità tattile/olfattiva e che stampa direttamente su alluminio per rafforzare il rapporto soggetto/supporto.
In questa occasione viene notato da un incaricato dell'Assessorato alla Cultura di Reggio Emilia che gli commissiona, per una personale, lo sviluppo del tema "ANTICORPO": qui l'artista si esprime fotografando corpi nudi che restituisce alla materia con l'ausilio della luce e del pennello con un abile e personale utilizzo del colore nero. Le immagini vengono stampate questa volta su tela pittorica e rimandano a corpi "caravaggeschi" carichi di sensualità; nasce in questo modo "OPERA AL NERO", un'esposizione che, con notevole successo di pubblico e critica, cominicia ad indicare (illuminare) a Chiodi la strada da percorrere.
Nel 2004 ha avuto, nel cuore di Brera, una collettiva presso lo storico Gallerista Luciano Inga Pin. Per questo evento Gianluca Chiodi produce ed espone "DISTONIE", un'originale interpretazione "deformata" del corpo umano, ottenuta non attraverso la tecnologia della computer graphic, ma utilizzando semplici mattoni di vetrocemento capaci di restituire "nudi disciolti" di particolare bellezza riprodotti su un nuovo supporto alternativo, una lastra di plexiglass, e nuovamente la conferma di essere apprezzato dalla critica e dal pubblico.
La ricerca prosegue in costante evoluzione; l'artista si trasferisce a Milano e, sempre con "OPERA AL NERO", rivisita alcune icone classiche dell'arte seicentesca del Merisi da Caravaggio e di altri autori dell'epoca.
Successivamente l'incontro con la Gallerista modenese Antonella Mattioli e l'idea di una nuova personale: da qui "L'AMORE AI TEMPI DEL COLERA".
Nell'autunno del 2005 ha partecipato alla collettiva "PUNTO E A CAPO: NUOVA CONTEMPORANEITA' ITALIANA" a cura di Edoardo di Mauro, Centro Arte Contemporanea - Castello di Rivara (To).
Sempre quest'anno viene selezionato per la partecipazione al Premio Cairo nella sezione "fotografia" con l'inedito "MYOPIA": gli scatti fotografici effettuati da "dietro" un paio di lenti da vista correttive (le sue) restituiscono all'interlocutore la romantica visione del miope, ottenendo immagini che varcano il confine della realtà unendo lo "sfuocato" del difetto visivo al "fuoco" morbido e circoscritto delle lenti.
Gianluca Chiodi continua a vivere a Milano lavorando ogni giorno con crescente passione, entusiasmo e creatività.

Gio Black Peter inszeniert sich in seiner Heimatstadt mit exzessiven Sex-Performance-Shows und –Videos, arbeitet als Maler, Zeichner, Fotograf, Musiker und Gelegenheitsschauspieler. So war er beispielsweise in Bruce LaBruce letztem Film, dem in Berlin gedrehten schwulen Zombie-Trash-Streifen „Otto Or Up With Dead People“, zu sehen.
Die Bilderwelten des in Guatemala als Giovanna Andrade geborenen und im Alter von fünf Jahren in die USA emigrierten Künstlers beschäftigen sich gleichermaßen mit der sexuell aufgeladenen queeren Subkultur und der farbenfrohen New Yorker Straßenkunst.
Gio Black Peter verwendet für seine Zeichnungen vorgefundene Materialien wie z.B. U-Bahnpläne und Plakate als Malgrundlage. Seine expressiven Kunstwerke werden so in vielschichtiger Weise zu einer Reminiszenz an das alte New York - ein mit Graffiti bedeckter Dschungel, in dem das Gefühl der Gesetzlosigkeit regierte und jede Nacht ein neues wildes Abenteuer versprach.

Grant Vetter’s Rendition paintings are slathered with sinewy
gobs of fleshy hues. The works effect the transcendent painterliness
of Abstract Expressionism, but also the corporeal gore and almost
forensic examination of mutilated skin. The word “rendition” implies a
subjective experience or recollection, but is also defined as
“deportation for war crimes” and “torture by proxy.” Although Abstract
expressionism was often seen as a symbol of democratic freedom and
individual expression, Vetter explicitly takes up the themes of trauma,
subjection and oppression as it relates to the current War on Terror.

Innerhalb von nur drei Jahren wurde Henning von Berg mit seinen Bildern weltweit bekannt. Dank etlicher 'Eyecatcher' avancierte "HvB Photography" zu einem internationalen Label mit Wiedererkennungswert.
Nach 13 Jahren als angestellter Ingenieur, wechselte er 1997 zur freien Fotografie. Schnell erregten seine ungewöhnlichen Gruppeninszenierungen internationale Aufmerksamkeit. Bereits einer der allerersten Schnappschüsse wurde aufgenommen in die Anthologie "NAKED MEN - 90 of the World's Greatest Photographers".
Als Klassiker gelten "NAKED BERLIN - The Liberal Capital" (das weltweit einzige Männerakt-Shooting in einem Parlamentsgebäude) und "NAKED SYDNEY - Upside Downunder" (splitternackte Frauen in Downtown Sydney).
Henning von Bergs Hauptthemen sind 'Charakter-Portraits' und 'Akt-Studien'. Zu den Lieblingsobjekten gehören Aristokraten und Prostituierte, Körperbehinderte und Leistungssportler, gewöhnliche Leute und Prominente. Seine Spezialität sind Aufnahmen mit natürlichem Sonnenlicht. Bevorzugt arbeitet er mit Amateuren (männlich/weiblich), wobei das älteste Modell eine 108-jährige Dame ist.
Die berühmtesten Fotos spielen an ungewöhnlichen Orten, denn er mag ausgefallene Locations. Die auffallendsten Motive werden überall auf der Welt ausgestellt in Museen und Galerien, bei Festivals und Kunststiftungen.
Mittlerweile kann der Autodidakt auf vierhundertsechzig Veröffentlichungen zurückblicken. HvB-Fotos wurden in 53 Büchern abgedruckt. Für die amerikanische Kunststiftung Tom Of Finland Foundation wirkt er als Co-Kurator für Museums-Präsentationen und als 'Foundation Liaison' für Europa. Parallel agiert er für Buchverlage erfolgreich als 'Photo Book Scout' und verhilft als Editor unbekannten Kollegen zu Bildbänden. Bei nationalen und internationalen Fotowettbewerben fungiert er als Juror.
Aktuelle Projekte sind eine Portraitserie von alten und uralten Menschen, eine Aktserie mit Athleten und Behinderten, ein Buch mit attraktiven Frauen und ein Akt-Band mit Männern.
Henning von Berg lebt abwechselnd in Berlin, Amsterdam und Los Angeles.

The Rhapsodie Installation
Hugo Dalton, 2009
Gallery Werkstatt presents a new body of work by British artist
Hugo Dalton: The Rhapsodie installation is a response to the
artist’s recent residency with Christopher Wheeldon’s ballet
troupe Morphoses. The work explores the nature of performance
and its preparations focusing specifically on dancers
repetition movement during rehearsals. Appling this technique
Dalton has painted a dancer’s arm onto the walls and ceiling
over and over again creating a rhythmic spiral of marks. The
intimate space becomes further animated though projected
‘Lightdrawings’, the viewer’s body interrupts the beams of
light as they move around the gallery. In so doing the audience
becomes a performative element within the installation.
Supporting photographs by renowned photographer Tom
Mannion document the stage set created by Dalton for the
world premier of Wheedon’s new work at Sadler’s Wells
earlier this month. Included in the main room are six drawings
these are taken directly from the artists preliminary ideas for
the ballet set. Each has been reworked and layered one
drawing on another in order to show the complex world of
classical ballet.
Opposite these drawings and framed by the mural is an illuminated
‘Pointe-drawing’. Created in response to the ballerina’s
ability to dance on tip toe, this work also is created through
repetition, Dalton has punctured the paper over and over to
create flowing organic lines of the dance.
Dalton's current commissions include a major new work for
Barneys, New York; private residence commissions in the
United States and Spain; and a public installation for Tate patrons'
Derwent London. The artist has a permanent work in
Liberty of London, spreading over three floors of the iconic
Tudor building, also at the Roundhouse in Camden and the
Hospital Club, London.
Dalton's collectors range from David Roberts to Sam Parker
Bowles, Amanda Eliasch, Mirabaud & Cie Geneva, Anthony
de Rothschild, Kay Saatchi and the University of the Arts,
London, the Today Art Museum, Beijing. He has exhibited at
the Institute for Contemporary Art, London (ICA), has had solo
shows at the Cat Street Gallery, Hong Kong and at the Fine Art
Society, London.

John Kirby was born in 1949, in Liverpool, Great Britain. He currently lives and works in London, after lengthy periods spent in Ireland and Brighton.

His works are found in major private and public collections throughout the world, including: the Contemporary Art Society; the Ferens Art Gallery, Hull; the Irish Contemporary Art Society; the John Hansard Gallery, University of Southampton; the Collection of the Royal College of Art; the Tate Gallery, London; the T.I. Group; the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth; Santa Lucia Church, Rome.

Jon Barwick constructs mixed-media paintings that acknowledge
the hyper-paced, technology-driven, media-saturated society of the
Twenty-First Century. The multi-layered compositions reflect the
complexities of the information age, and capture the singular moment of
everything happening at once. Imagery for these works originate as
drawings and doodles but are scanned, photographed, printed, or redrawn
before reaching the final composition. By maintaining a dialogue
between the hand-drawn and computer-generated, Barwick creates visual
metaphors for our day-to-day interaction with technology. The
resultant fields of color and imagery are at once beautiful and
overwhelming. They present a sublimation of information.

Martin von Ostrowskis work is composed of performances, paintings, sculptures and installations. Since 1996 the question “Why art?” occupies the artist. He is not interested in “What is art?”, there are already so many statements about it, he is more asking why he himself makes art, why viewers look to art and are intensifying time with it. The artist got so many answers and also counterquestions, which he uses in his work.
The viewer sees always that what he is able to see, what he wants to see, what he has experiences in his life. So art has much to do with misunderstandings and irritations between the artist and the viewer and that can be so fruitful.
In 1994 Ostrowski used his semen as pigment for paintings, he just masturbed on grey coloured canvases. Since 2003 he collects his own semen and the semen of friends to paint male portraits and figures on dark coloured canvases. The semen can be seen as a transparent shining varnish on the black background.
From 2003 he made of this own produced organic material selfportaits with a positive meaning like his semenpaintings: I exist as I do digest, as I do produce semen. The artist is free to use his very personal material to paint with it, to show that he is part of the organic world. In semen the genes of the artits are kept for reproducing a human being together with a female egg. In his shit, microorganisms the artist lives in symbiosis with, and the digestion of food are conseved, the artist needs for his life. The artist is part of a great incalculable complex organic world, he is almost lost in it, is searching for a reason why he produces art. Martin von Ostrowski stands in the tradition of the German romantic movement, broken with irony and he sums up his work as aggressive romanticism.

Ob Kunstevents, Society- und Glamourpartys oder schwule Szeneveranstaltungen, auf dem roten Teppich mit Filmstars oder im queeren Underground mit Subkulturgrößen – Master Patrick ist mit seiner Kamera immer vor Ort. Als der „Mann mit der schwarzen Ledermaske“ ist der in Freiburg im Breisgau als Patrick Bartsch geborene Multi-Media-Künstler längst zum unübersehbaren, omnipräsenten Szenefigur geworden.
Von Österreich aus führte sein Weg über Frankreich und Köln schließlich nach Berlin. In seiner Ausstellung „Berlin Years“ zeigt Master Patrick nun eine Auswahl seiner in den vergangenen fünf Jahren in der Hauptstadt entstandenen Fotoarbeiten.
Neben klassischer Studiofotografie – inszenierte Porträts beispielsweise von Filmregisseur Rosa von Praunheim und Männeraktstudien – stehen dokumentarische Bilder von Laufstegen, Konzertbühnen und roten Teppichen (mit Bildern u.a. von Tom Cruise und Nina Hagen). Einen ganz besonderen Stellenwert nehmen jedoch seine Momentaufnahmen aus dem vielfältigen queeren Leben in Berlin ein.
Für Master Patrick gibt es keine Perfektion: weder den perfekten Menschen, die perfekte Stadt oder das perfekte Kunstwerk. In jeder seiner Arbeiten wird man Fehler finden: „bewusst gesetzte wie z.B. Steckdosen in einem Porträtbild oder unbewusste wie unkorrigierte Farbspritzer bei Acrylarbeiten“, erklärt Master Patrick. In den für die Ausstellung ausgewählten Arbeiten stehen Schnappschüsse gleichberechtigt neben aufwendigen Inszenierungen, Glamour neben Trash. Weltstars im Rampenlicht finden sich einträchtig neben Underground-Exzentrikern, klassische Dokumentation kollidiert mit dem ironischen Spiel mit Klischee und Banales mit Erhabenen.

MITRA FARAHANI was born in Tehran in 1975. From the age of fourteen she studied painting and drawing with various Iranian masters of pictorial art, notably with Gholem Hossein Nami.
After taking a baccalaureat in graphic art in 1992, followed by a degree in graphic art at the AZAD University in Tehran, she moved to Paris in 1998, and took up residence in the Cité Internationale des Arts.
In December 1999 she staged a Happening called ‘You Are Invited to a Funeral’. In 2001, she began a course of video studies at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs, and made her first documentary. 26 minutes long, this was entitled ‘Just A Woman’. The film was chosen for the Berlin Film Festival and was awarded the Teddy Awards Special Jury Prize.
Her documentary ‘Zohre and Manouchehr’ (67 minutes) was presented at the Berlin Film Festival of 2004. This was later shown in cinemas in France and Canada with the title ‘Taboos’.
In 2005 she made the documentary “Behdjat Sadr: Suspended Time’, a portrait of one of the pioneers of Abstract Expressionist painting in Iran.
In November 2009, as part of the Three Continents Festival, Le Lieu Unique in Nantes presented her one-person multi-disciplinary exhibition. This comprised a video-installation, a painted screen, a group of drawings and some projected films.
Statement
For several years I have been painting screens. These screens have, for me, a direct link with the cinema.
During the first part of my career, painting affected my films. Now, in reverse, it is cinema that makes itself felt in my painting. The influence appears most clearly in the way in which the compositions are affected by the idea of cinematic sequences. The triptychs I made originally have been succeeded by compositions that are screens with multiple panels. Each element or each panel resembles a sequence in a film.
A screen, which gives the possibility of deployment in space, offers important compositional advantages. In particular, it makes it easier to put together a multitude of ideas that can be read both independently and in combination with one another. Screen compositions, and the spatial ambiguity that they permit, allow me more and more to produce the interpenetration of painting and cinema that I have always wanted to create.

Born in Iran in 1955
Lives and works in Paris
After studying painting at the University of Tehran, Narmine Sadeg moved to Paris in 1977, and continued her studies at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, at the Sorbonne, and at the Paris-Diderot University. A former student of Christian Boltanski at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, she was, in the late 1980s, interested in multi-disciplinary installations.
In the early 1990s she showed her work at the Galerie Giovanna Minelli in Paris, which also represented Thomas Struth, Willie Doherty, Craigie Horsfield, Jean-Luc Moulène and Olivier Blanckart.
In 1992-3 she was awarded the Villa Médicis hors les murs prize. This enabled her to make several visits to the United States. While there she worked on a huge video installation project entitled Tell Me About Art, midway between art installation and documentary film. She was also artist-in-residence at the Center for Advanced Visual Studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) where she continued her investigations into the field of digital art. During a decade, from 1994 onwards, she concentrated on projects that made use of new media. However, her interest in materials finally led her back once again to sculpture, installation and painting.
Her recent work consists of mobile sculptures. These are half human beings, half toys, apparently delicately balanced. They evoke moments of suspense, of waiting for something to happen.
Narmine Sadeg’s work has been shown in a number of solo and collective exhibitions, in France and elsewhere, most notably at the Galerie Giovanna Minelli in Paris, at the MIT Museum in Cambridge, Massachusetts, at the Centre d’Art Contemporain de la Villa Arson in Nice, and at the Galerie Basilisk in Copenhagen.
Since 2001, Narmine Sadeg has been professor of visual arts at the University of Bordeaux III.
Statement:
At first glance, Narmine Sadeg’s life-size dolls, installed on a steel tube that is thrust through their bodies and ready to sway back and forth with a single push, evoke a feeling of playfulness.
This feeling, however, fades with time. The dolls seem calm and resolute, but their movement is limited and they can do nothing about it – their situation seems tragic. “In my work,” Sadeg says, “I am interested in modes of display that limit the movements of my characters, constrain their actions, and force them to repeat themselves.”
Narmine Sadeg’s work does not reflect specifically Iranian traits, but offers a consideration of the human condition in a larger sense. Held by the rod that displays them, her characters are silent and reclusive, watching the world from a distance. If we look for what is Iranian in this work, we should perhaps look at the life of the artist herself – at the things that have influenced her concerns. Had she not been born Iranian, and without the events that have affected the recent history of Iran, would the same questions have emerged?

Statement:
Women have always been recognized by certain criteria through history. By their beauty, attraction, and sexiness which have been described by some characteristics. As Blanchot says the word “woman” gives a certain meaning to a human being. A creature that is much more than what world known her to be. “This is not a woman” series aim to show a new eroticism, to delete a woman as we know her and create her again. All the works are self-portraits, reflecting my very own feelings as a woman, my social limitations and my freedom of thoughts. In spite of the fact that most of these feelings are due to personal experiences; I guess they can be extended to the general situation of women in Iran and many other countries.

Nothing in Haerizadeh image is quite as it seems. His photographs reflect the colours and composition of everyday life. However, through techniques and devices, he proceeds to trash the absolute realism of photography by subverting the image, literally from within. By splitting, mirroring and twisting his images, disorientating and unseen depths come to light - engaging the viewers to reconstruct reality for themselves. Various aspects of his cultural heritage helped foster a strong graphic sensibility and bold playfulness, such as Persian ornamentation, patterns and compositions that can be found in carpets, architecture, traditional mirror works and miniature paintings.
Statement:
Men of Allah portray the artist trapped in the female figure and disguised in chador robes.
For this series, Ramin found inspiration in ‘Taaziye’ theatre, the
religious plays popular during the Qajar period (and still active today
during Ashura celebrations), whose particularity was that women’s
roles were played by men, who are still considered the only sex
suitable for the profession. One of the most popular scenes was the
wedding of Imam Hossein’s brother; Ghassem in which the character
wearing the white bridal gown is, notably, a bearded man.
Taking off on this farce, Ramin has placed his own portrait (himself a
thickly bearded man) within the guise of a chador-clad female. Challenging
the norms of contemporary Iranian society by digging up its
rich, and very often conflicting, cultural history, Haerizadeh offers
a resourceful and pointed criticism with his characteristic sense of
humour.

Roni Feldman applies the blurred, ethereal nature of airbrushed
acrylic to paint multitudinous human features. He forms tensions
between individual and crowd, abstraction and representation. Using
varying degrees of matte and gloss black paint, the imagery may be
invisible at first glance, but as viewers pass before them, the figures
refract revealing an elaborate composition. In them, whirls of figures
celebrate, mourn, protest, consume, dance, and embrace alongside others
that drown, burn, and dissolve. Feldman’s crowds evoke the power and
ecstasy of unified intention alongside a potential descent into mob
mentality. The compositions recall the idealistic pursuit of 1960's
psychedelia, van murals, and other airbrush art forms, but in Feldman’s
work, airbrushed paint is like a thin veil that separates utopia and
dystopia, civilization and chaos.

Ryan Peter Miller uses paint as both his material and subject.
Each of Miller’s works expresses an inventive application of paint. In
one work, he applies paint as multitudinous stacked units in a tower.
In another work he casts acrylic paint as puzzle pieces. In a third
piece, Miller casts a full body self portrait in white acrylic paint.
For Miller, paint is raw material, loaded with turgid historical
significance, that can be grouped and restructured into non-traditional
supports. Miller calls painting a democratic process, reflective and
responsive to history and culture, but with endless potential for
evolution and re-contextualization.

I am concerned with fields like film, photography, slide shows and video projection. Above all, I try to combine all these areas of visual art for the purpose of creating multimedia scenographies, installations, projections as well as performance.
In the last years I carried out by myself or in cooperation with other creators projects ranging from big commercial production to experimental artistic ones. I realized multimedia shows, photography and film documentation. I cooperated in creating exhibitions, concerts, theatrical performance. I also ran film workshops for youth.
I cooperated with theatre “Komuna Otwock”, the Foundation “Brulion”, music band “Transkapela”, Katarzyna Kozyra, the Gallery “Dziekanka”, National Gallery of Art Zach?ta, the Centre of Contemporary Art, the Publishing House “Stop Over Press”, the Publishing House “Wydawnictwo Czarne”, “Cinema” Theatre as well as “Academia” Theatre.
I took part in such festivals like: Vidi Wall - Vienna 1998; Filmschau in Zacheta National Gallery of Art - Warsaw 2000; Neighbours for Neighbours Festival - Warsaw 2006; Terra Polska - Berlin 2006; The Malta International Theatre Festival - Pozna? 2006; Festival “Film Polska” – Berlin 2008.
In 2007 I developed individual exhibition „Stillleben” in the Gallery of Polish Institute in Berlin, and multimedia project on the occasion of 50th Anniversary of the Rome Treaties in the Museuminsel in Berlin.
Recently I have been cooperating with some music clubs and DJs. I made for them visual space and transform interiors with live projections.
Currently I work with artistic agency “IDFX” in Warsaw and realize my own projects.

 | 01 The Fear of Leaving the House |
was born to two figurative American painters, Lani Irwin and Alan Feltus. Growing up in an eclectic environment, I learned that there is nothing unusual, and that the fabric of the world need not remain mysterious. I am a strong believer in Henri Cartier-Bresson's saying that "there is no aesthetic peculiar to photography or drawing".
From 1987 I grew up in central Italy. In 1999 I moved to Edinburgh where I obtained a BA and Mdes in design.
In collaboration with my brother, I completed our award winning stop-motion animated film 'Solo Duets' (2005). Written and directed by Joseph, and with miniature portrait sculpture by myself, it is a strongly poetic and pictorial collaboration. Together we held two solo exhibitions of photography in Italy, a multitude of group shows, art fairs, film festivals and even design fairs across the world, and are currently working towards a solo exhibition in London, and the completion of a new animated film.
