 | 01 Total Equality |
“Total Equality”
Installation of Lithuanian contemporary artists Brone Neverdauskiene and Monika Zlatauskaite - Grasiene “Total Equality” focuses on our way of socially “dressing up” in predestined uniforms of social habits, behavior, and ethical dogmas.
Colourful, poster-like and naive propaganda on the equality of gender, race, age, religion, sexual orientation or social status presented in the mass media looks ironic, because it does not fit reality. People driven by human nature to avoid the equality at any price The social system educates people, uniform become a proof of someone’s certain abilities and as long as these symbols are supported by an entire system. Artists declare, that despite our race or national differences, we are marked by destiny’s “label” to become a pervert, criminal, looser or yuppie. Maybe this we could call real, personal and political equality? In their work motives of skin are composed from photo fragments of different human body parts. They are woven as fabric using jacquard technique and being sewed into bigger than original child rompers — as if one wandering soul embodies yet another body, thus allowing us to experience social transformation in physical sense.
Brone Neverdauskiene was born in 1977 in Lithuania. She graduated National Academy of Arts, Art Licentiate, achieved the highest degree in art in 2009. She was granted the Lithuanian state scholarship the same year and year 2011. B. Neverdauskiene works as general curator at the Culture Communication Center, Klaipeda, Lithuania. Her artistic interests focus on contemporary art, in fields of objects and installations. Artist creates using experimental textile and mixed techniques. Her works have been exhibited at international projects and art biennials in Denmark, Sweden, Russia, Ukraine, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania.

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.

Clément Borderie fängt die Bewegungen der Jahreszeiten ein.
Im Herbst sind die Formen von Clement Borderie, diese sonderbaren Gestelle aus Eisen, mit Maltuch bespannt, um den Wechsel der Zeiten und der Elemente festzuhalten, mit abgefallenem Laub bedeckt. Diese Blätter werden vom Winterwind vertrieben werden, bevor, dann, die Frühlingsregen in die Leinwände eindringen. Staub, Insekten, Pollen, Blüten, Zweige und die Verschmutzungen der Luft lassen sich darauf nieder. Dabei prägen sie dem Tuch ihre Bahnen, ihre Farben, ihre Formen auf. So entstehen die Werke von Borderie in einem Prozess wie dem der Fotografie, nur (zeitlich verzögert) in Zeitlupe. Die Ausdauer seines Vorgehens kommt ihm von weither. Sein Vater André Borderie war Maler, schuf Wandteppiche und bedeutende Keramiken in den 50er Jahren. Mit fünf Jahren, wenn der Junge aus der Schule nach Hause kam, liess er Clément mit chinesischen Pinseln Emaillearbeiten ausführen oder in einer Ecke seines Ateliers für sich zeichnen. Dabei zeigt er ihm, wie man die drei Dimensionen eines Gegenstands in die zwei Dimensionen der Zeichnung überträgt. Eine solche Lehre wird nicht durch das Wort wiedergegeben – André Borderie war eher ein verschlossener Mensch -, sondern im Tun. Ebenso gab es Maria, die Mutter, eine junge Frau aus der Bretagne, die zugleich zurückhaltend und bestimmt war. Auch sie war Malerin.
Am Wochenende füllt sich das Haus in Senlis mit den Freunden des Paares, alle Schriftsteller und Maler, voller Begeisterung. Alle haben Geschichten von dem zu erzählen, womit sie gerade beschäftigt sind, was sich in der Kunstwelt ereignet. Der junge Mann hört ständig zu. Ganz selbstverständlich beschliesst er, in die Schule der Manufaktur von Gobelin einzutreten. Auch da noch tritt er in die Fusstapfen des Vaters, denn dort wurden 20 der 400 Wandteppiche gewebt, die André entworfen hat. Ein engagierter Lehrer unterrichtet dort Kunstgeschichte, nachmittags zeigt er seinen Schülern, worüber er am Morgen gesprochen hat.
Während dieser sechs Jahre empfindet der junge Mann das Bedürfnis, eine eigene Arbeit zu machen, zu malen, nicht länger in dem einzigen Gebiet der Techniken zu bleiben, um in das so viel ungewissere persönlicher Erfahrungen einzutreten. Um das zu erreichen, muss er, das ist ihm klar, nicht nur den derart bewunderten Vater umbringen, sondern sich auch andere Meister gewinnen wie Yves Klein, dessen Feuerbilder oder Körperabdrucke ihn faszinieren und vor allem die Geschichte einer Reise nach Nizza mit einer auf das Dach seines Autos montierten Leinwand. Es gibt auch Buraglio, von dem er in den Werkstätten von Gobelin ein kleine solarisierte Zeichnung entdeckt hat, und Calzolari, der Eiswalzen benutzt, wie er es Jahre später selber tun wird. Jeder dieser Künstler beeinflusst seine Entwicklung, führt ihn zu seinen eigenen Untersuchungen von Empfindungen und Gefühlen.
1988 bemerkt er während des Abbaus einer Ausstellung in der Usine ephemére, wo er eine Installation aus sieben Elementen gezeigt hat, dass diese Objekte ihre Spuren auf dem Boden hinterlassen haben. Da wird ihm bewusst, dass dieses „Bild der Zeit“ das ist, wohin er in seinem Werk gelangen will. Eines Tages sitzt er auf einer Weide und blickt vor sich zwischen seinen Beinen in das Gras: Zeichnen will er nie mehr. Er verlässt die klassischen Werkzeuge, die ihm bis dahin gedient haben, erfindet neue Prozeduren, beginnt, seine Gestelle auszuarbeiten. Ob sie nun als einfache Gerüste erscheinen, die eine Leinwand tragen, oder als eine komplexere Maschine, die von einem Kältegenerator gespeist wird, sie sind immer Träger einer Mission, die ihnen der Künstler erteilt hat, die er in ihrem Ablauf verfolgt.
Selbstverständlich braucht man sehr viel Platz, um diese Strukturen zu konstruieren, mit denen man grosse Formate herstellen kann. 1995 bietet der Verwaltungsdirektor des Hôpital Charles Foix in Ivry Borderie ein Gebäude an. Es ist die alte ehemalige Wäscherei, die er mit Cat Lorgy, auch einem Maler, und mit Patrick Fleury teilt, einem Komponisten und Bildhauer. Diese kleine Gruppe, die unter dem Signet KP5 bekannt ist, erinnert zu einer Zeit, in der der Kunstmarkt die Künstler gegeneinander isoliert, doch die Gemeinschaft und die Verbundenheit, in der André und Maria Borderie in der Nachkriegszeit lebten. Der Direktor von Charles Foix erwartet von seinen neuen Mietern nicht, dass sie Kunsttherapie betreiben. Er ist sosehr überzeugt, dass ihre blosse Anwesenheit die Neugier der Mediziner wecken wird, die sich für ihr Vorgehen interessieren werden und daraufhin ein Centre d’Ammation schaffen werden für die älteren Menschen in geriatischer Behandlung. Er fordert Borderie auf, seine Malmaschinen in den grossen stillen Gärten des Hospitals aufzustellen. Gegenwärtig sind mehrere von ihnen „an der Arbeit“; auf einer davon liegt ein Schneeball, der unaufhörlich auf die Leinwand tropft. So greift die Natur fortwährend ein, bis der Künstler entscheidet, dass das Werk beendet ist. Abgenommen von ihrem Träger, getrocknet und auf Keilrahmen gespannt, teilt es die Zeichen mit, die sich im Laufe von drei oder vier Jahreszeiten eingeschrieben haben.
Wenn man diese Malereien geheimnisvoller Farben und Bewegungen sieht, deren Schönheit manchmal an die der chinesischen pierres de rève denken lässt, wundert man sich nicht, dass Clément Borderie sein Vorgehen in den Texten von Gao Xingjian wiedererkennt: „Die Wogen bedrängen das Ufer“, schreibt der Literatur Nobelpreisträger, „aber bevor sie die Zeit haben, sich zurückzuziehen, werden sie verschlungen in dem lieblichen Geräusch, mit dem die Sandkörner sie aufsaugen, hier und da Spuren von gelblichem Schaum zurücklassend.“ Ganz so, wie es der Maler in seiner Kunst macht, hat der Dichter eine universelle Sprache erfunden, die Orient und Okzident verbindet. Indem er seine Gestelle an derart entfernten Orten aufstellt wie Vole Sacré bei Verdun, Berlin oder Havanna, sammelt Borderie den Staub, den Regen, das Gedächtnis dieser Böden und dieser Städte, gibt Borderie zu entdecken, was sie unterscheidet und was sie gemeinsam haben.

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.

Drawings attributed to Francis Bacon
As everyone interested in Bacon’s work knows, Bacon many times, and often vehemently, denied that he made any use of drawing. This is contradicted however by an early interview with the critic David Sylvester (Bacon’s most frequent interlocutor), which is preserved on film. In it, Bacon admits that he does draw, but coyly says that puts his drawings aside and doesn’t look at them, when the moment comes to paint a picture.
Yet, since Bacon’s lonely death in Madrid in 1992, a mass of evidence has emerged to show that he not only did draw, but drew prolifically. When he died, for example, a canvas he had just begun was found in his Reece Mews studio in London. On it was a masterly full-scale drawing for the composition he intended to paint. Numerous scraps of paper with drawings on them, some mere scribbles it is true, were found when the Reece Mews studio was disassembled, to be afterwards reconstructed in Dublin.
An even greater mass of material of this type turned up in the possession of Barry Joule, who had evolved from being Bacon’s neighbor into being his odd-job man and general Mr Fixit. Joule’s account was that Bacon, shortly before his death, had handed him the drawings, with the words “You know what to do with these, don’t you?” Some people, knowing of Bacon’s frequent denials that he drew, might have understood this as an instruction to destroy them, but Joule chose to think otherwise.
While it is true that much of the Joule material is of disappointing quality artistically – a lot of it consists of rough drawings made on top of photographs torn from books and magazines, with others on top of photos, such as portraits of Bacon’s old nanny, also for a time his housekeeper, that were very personal to Bacon himself – there are powerful reasons for accepting it as genuine. One series of drawings in the Joule archive – made on top of illustrations ripped from boxing magazines dating from the late 1940s - has a direct link to a series of drawings purchased as genuine by the Tate shortly before the Joule archive emerged. These drawings, also made on top of illustrations ripped from boxing magazines, belonged to Paul Danquah, a friend with whom Bacon shared a flat in the early 1950s. Danquah, who later emigrated to Tangier, seems to have given them by Bacon when they were co-habiting.
The Joule material appears to cover a long period, and to be closely linked to a number of well-known paintings by Bacon. The artist closely guarded access to his studio and it is hard to imagine him allowing anyone, even a boy friend, to sit there in a corner, manufacturing Bacon related drawings. The two chief consorts of the middle and later years of his career, George Dyer, an ex-burglar of notable incompetence, who committed suicide in 1971, on the eve of Bacon’s first major retrospective in Paris; and John Edwards, who though shrewd and loyal, was uneducated, dyslexic and illiterate, seem particularly unlikely candidates.
The Joule material – and other drawings related to it – have been a permanent embarrassment to a part of the British art establishment ever since they first made their way into the public gaze.
If the material that emerged from Bacon’s studio after his death is problematic because of its lack of real artistic quality, the same cannot be said of the drawings exhibited in this new exhibition. These are ambitious works, signed and on a large scale, clearly made as independent works of art. They in many ways seem to sum up the essence of what Bacon tried to do. Why were they made, and why have they remained at least half-hidden for so long?
The evidence is that Bacon, at the end of his career, found his celebrity increasingly oppressive. His solution was to slip away to places where he was little known or not known at all, where he could stroll from bar to bar and from restaurant to restaurant, and amuse himself as he wished. One of his favorite places for escapes of this kind was Italy. A constant companion in his Italian adventures was a young and handsome American-Italian called Cristiano Lovatelli Ravarino. There is plenty of evidence that they were often seen together, in locations as different from one another as Bologna and Cortina d’Ampezzo. The drawings shown are presentation drawings, resembling in this the drawings that the ageing Michelangelo made for the young Tommaso Cavallieri.
There seem to have been several motivations for making them, apart from Bacon’s desire to commemorate a friendship. One was simply restlessness. Though happy to get away from the confines of his studio, Bacon still wanted to make art – but art of a light and portable kind (though not all of the drawings were made in Italy, some appear to have been done in London). At the end of his life, he wanted to try a new medium, one that had clearly always daunted him. He also seems to have wanted to correct mistakes made in the past. One striking feature of this series of drawings is that they recapitulate themes from work made much earlier in his career. Though the drawings belong to the last decade of Bacon’s artistic activity, their subjects are those that Bacon became associated with in the 1950s – the Popes after Velazquez and the portraits of businessmen. The Pope images are expanded into a series of portraits of ecclesiastics, perhaps inspired by what Bacon saw in the streets of Italian towns. There are also portraits of friends and images of the Crucifixion, a subject that preoccupied the artist throughout his life. Bacon frequently expressed dissatisfaction with the early works that had made his reputation, and these are an attempt to do better.
Bacon regarded his relationship to Ravarino as unofficial, in the sense that he could never get his friend to commit himself to something fully public – Ravarino worried what his family would say. He seems to have thought of the drawings as being essentially unofficial as well. He went to considerable trouble to keep their existence secret from his commercial representatives, the powerful Marlborough Gallery, who wished to preserve his shamanic persona even more than he did.
One fascinating aspect of these drawings in that they are the work of a Laocoon, a man struggling hard to escape from the entwining serpents of his own myth, and to return to the pleasure of making art for its own sake – no other reason than that.

Gerhard Hintermann (1966) lives and works in Zürich.
His latest series
«Jims world» is a hommage to the Swiss photographer Karlheinz Weinberger, 1921–2006. Photographer for the legendary gay magazine, Der Kreis.
Weinberger led, during those times a typical double life. Working daytime in a warehouse and in his sparetime, making erotically charged pictures of Beatniks, Rockers and men with tattoos. Late in life, Weinberger became known for his Monographie, photos from the Beatnik scene.
From 2001 till 2006, Gerhard Hintermann attended Karlheinz Weinberger, his mentor and friend. During this time he also organized Weinbergers extensive archive.The lively discussions on photography they led during those years, affects Hintermanns own work up till this day.
Photos taken in Weinbergers home, shortly after his death, reflect his bourgois life mixed with the Beatnik lifestyle cult. Next to a sofa with crocheted covers, cherub figurines and a standard-lamp, attributes of bourgois „Gemütlichkeit“, hang the emblems of motorcycle
clubs – mismatched worlds.The typical conflicts of gay men throughout the Post War aera.
Large-sized colour photos printed on vat paper stand for a posthume portrait and are also an allegorie for life as a gay in the 20th century.
The photos are supplemented with a slide-show, pictures which so far have not been on view.

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.

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.

Ingeborg zu Schleswig-Holstein (*1956) in Bienebek bei Kiel
1976-81 Kunststudium bei Prof. Manfred Grossmann, Fachhochschule für Gestaltung in Hamburg.
Lebt und arbeitet in Hamburg.
In Düsseldorf bei der Beuys-Warhol Ausstellung "Kunst = Kapital" begegnet sie Andy Warhol, der sie als künstlerische Assistentin nach New York in seine "Factory" einlädt. ISH: "Es war eine Zeit der Auseinandersetzung mit der europäischen und amerikanischen Kultur, vor allem meiner Kultur. Eine prägende Erfahrung für meinen weiteren Weg. Zeigte Warhol betont nur die Oberfläche der Dinge, versuche ich das zu zeigen, was sich der Begrifflichkeit entzieht, was sich hinter dem Sichtbaren verbirgt." Nach dem Examen 1981 bleibt die junge Künstlerin in New York, mietet ihr erstes Studio in Soho und arbeitet selbstständig. Sie findet ihren Stil: »Meine Arbeiten sind gegenstandslos, weil sie von der Wirklichkeit jenseits des physisch Erfahrbaren künden.«

 |  | 01 Impiorum flatrum 02 Res male gesta est |
Die Malerei des in Estland geborenen und in Berlin lebenden Künstlers Ivar Kaasik umgibt eine Aura des Vergangenen. Viele der Motive und Sujets entstammen einer längst vergangenen Zeit, seien sie beispielsweise ehemaligen politischen Ären aus Ost oder West entnommen oder aber großer Zeiten amerikanischer Filmproduktion. Viele der Motive sind aus Film und Fernsehen oder massen-verbreiteten Printmedien bestens vertraut. Andere wiederum – verlassene Raum- oder Straßenansichten, wie Urlaubsbilder anmutende Gruppenszenerien, Landschaftsdarstellungen oder aber sehr intim wirkende Menschendarstellungen – decken sich mit Erinnerungen oder Erlebnissen des Betrachters oder zeigen sogar Parallelen zum heimischen Fotoarchiv.
Kaasik erforscht Bildrealitäten. Er wählt Motive, die typisch sind für eine bestimmte Zeit, eine bestimmte Kultur, eine bestimmte Gesellschaft oder sogar eine Gesellschaftsschicht. Da Kaasik seine Motive jedoch wie der Betrachter oftmals nicht aus direkter Anschauung kennt, ist es nicht die Realität selbst, die der Künstler in seiner Malerei darstellt, sondern das reproduzierte Abbild der Realität. Auf diese Weise eignet sich Kaasik zum einen Realitäten an, die er selbst in seiner Biografie nicht erlebt hat, zum anderen reflektiert er Realitäten, die ihn in positiver und negativer Weise geprägt haben.
Wenn Kaasik sein Oeuvre mit dem Titel Ecce Homo überschreibt, reiht er sich bewusst in diese kunsthistorische Tradition ein: Und tatsächlich übernimmt Ivar Kaasik in seinen Bildern das dem Ecce Homo-Typus inhärente Prinzip: das Zur-Schau-Stellen bzw. das fordernde Demonstrieren. Bei Kaasik kreist das Vorführen zunächst um den Menschen, seine Geschichte
n, seine Lebensumstände und seine Sehnsüchte. Der Blick auf den nackten Männerkörper führt unweigerlich zu einer weiteren Bedeutung des Begriffes „Ecce Homo“: Aufgrund der Ähnlichkeit des lateinischen Wortes homo (Mensch) zum griechischen homos (gleich) wird das Begriffspaar „Ecce Homo“ in der Homosexuellen-Szene mitunter als Wortspiel verwendet, das homosexuell-motivierte Werke und Projekte benennt. Ob Ivar Kaasik dieses Wortspiel impliziert hat oder nicht: der Fokus, der in Kaasiks Halbfiguren auf den männlichen Körper gerichtet wird, entspricht dem Körperkult homoerotischer Vorstellungen.
In diesem Kontext können auch die Gruppendarstellungen Ivar Kaasiks betrachtet werden. Dort bettet Kaasik sie jedoch in Szenerien ein, die meist ein Kompositum aus ein bis drei männlichen Personen, einem Auto, einem Hund und einer Gebirgs- oder Wasserlandschaft sind. Die Landschaften sind meist in kühlen Farben dargestellt und unterstreichen somit die Stimmung, die zwischen den anwesenden Personen zu herrschen scheint. Denn trotz einer schönen, oftmals erhabenen landschaftlichen Umgebung, scheinen emotionale Kälte oder persönliches Desinteresse die Beziehungen der Anwesenden zu bestimmen. Die Figuren kehren sich meist den Rücken zu und sind nicht nur voneinander distanziert, sondern sogar regelrecht isoliert. Was auch immer die Anwesenden bewogen hat, gemeinsam den gezeigten Ort aufzusuchen, emotionale Bindungen spielen hier keinen Rolle.
Wenn überhaupt ein Blickkontakt zum Betrachter aufgebaut wird, geschieht dies durch den jeweiligen Hund. Abgesehen von den porträtierten Filmstars, die an ihrer Inszenierung selbst beteiligt sind, gilt dieser Aspekt in fast allen Darstellungen Ivar Kaasiks. Die oben erwähnte Vorführung ist eine passive, sie geschieht nicht durch die Protagonisten selbst, sondern durch eine übergeordnete, ausführende Instanz: den Künstler Ivar Kaasik.
Insofern entlarven die Figuren und Szenerien in ihren Situation nicht sich selbst, sondern sie werden durch den Blick eines Dritten entlarvt. Die Protagonisten sind sich ihrer irritierenden Situation nicht bewusst. Der Blick, den Ivar Kaasik auf die von ihm porträtierten Bilder wirft, ist jedoch keineswegs ein objektiver. Erst durch den emotionalisierenden und mitunter wertenden Blick des Künstlers wird der Betrachter dazu verleitet, die im Bild dargestellten Gegebenheiten genauer zu betrachten und zu hinterfragen

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.

1960 mietete Mary Bauermeister in der Lintgasse 28 in Köln eine Wohnung im Dachgeschoss, wo zwischen März 1960 und Oktober 1961 mehrere Konzerte, Ausstellungen und intermediale Veranstaltungen stattfanden. Die kulturellen Veranstaltungen im Atelier Bauermeister gehörten zu den ersten „Prä-Fluxus-Veranstaltungen“ und hatten auf die Künstler der späteren Fluxus-Bewegung einen großen Einfluss. Avantgardistische Dichter, Komponisten und bildende Künstler wie Hans G Helms, David Tudor, John Cage, Christo, George Brecht und Nam June Paik veranstalteten damals auf ihre Einladung hin unkonventionelle Konzerte „neuester Musik“, Lesungen, Ausstellungen und Aktionen. Mary Bauermeisters „Prä-Fluxus“-Aktivitäten trugen erheblich zur Entwicklung der Kölner Kunstszene bei.1967 heiratete sie Karlheinz Stockhausen.
1962 hatte Bauermeister ihre erste Einzelausstellung im Amsterdamer Stedelijk Museum mit Arbeiten der Jahre 1958 bis 1962 und gleichzeitiger, ganztägiger Aufführung elektronischer Musikstücke unter der Leitung des Komponisten Karlheinz Stockhausen und anderen Komponisten, zu denen gleichzeitig Stockhausens Partituren in Vitrinen in unmittelbarer Nähe zu den Werken Bauermeisters gezeigt wurden. Im Oktober 1962 reiste sie, angezogen durch die vitale Pop Art, nach New York. Im Künstlerkreis von Pop Art, Nouveau Réalisme und Fluxus pflegte sie Freundschaften mit Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, Niki de Saint Phalle und Jean Tinguely. In New York feierte Bauermeister beachtliche künstlerische Erfolge. In den 1960er Jahren stellte sie regelmäßig in der Galeria Bonino in der 57. Straße aus.
Von der zweidimensionalen Zeichnung entwickelte sich das Werk Bauermeisters zunehmend in den Raum hinein – über Relief- und Materialbilder gelangte sie schließlich zu den sogenannten Linsenkästen, der wohl geheimnisvollsten Werkgruppe der Künstlerin, mit der ihr 1964 der Durchbruch auf dem New Yorker Kunstmarkt gelang. In zum Betrachter hin offenen, weißen Holzkisten schuf Bauermeister kleine Welten aus glänzendem Glas, Lupen, Linsen und Prismen, hinterlegt von feinen Tuschezeichnungen und aufgetragenen Texten. Diese Kästen bieten mit ihren zwei oder drei gläsernen Bildebenen Raum für die Gedanken und Ideen der Künstlerin und sollen den Betrachter zur genauen Beobachtung anregen.
In den 1970er Jahren kehrte Mary Bauermeister nach Deutschland zurück und begann sich mit Grenzwissenschaften wie Geomantie zu beschäftigen. Die dabei gewonnenen Erkenntnisse nutzte sie für die Planung von Gärten, die sie für öffentliche und private Auftraggeber weltweit ausführte. Heute lebt die Künstlerin in Rösrath bei Köln.
Anlässlich ihres 70. Geburtstags erwarb das Kölner Museum Ludwig ihre 1963 entstandene Wandinstallation Needless needles und richtete eine Werkschau aus (bis 23. Januar 2005). Im Jahr 2007 erwarb das Schweriner Museum Arbeiten der Künstlerin und installierte einen permanenten Kunstraum mit diesen Werken neben den Ausstellungsräumen ihres verehrten Vorbildes Marcel Duchamp. Diese Werke bestehen u.a. aus der Musicbox (1968), Rotes Magnetbild (1959), Studiofetisch (1970) und Fünf Totenhemden (1963) aus der Serie Ready Trouvées als Hommage an Marcel Duchamps Ready Mades.

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?

The [:tandem]-series
Robert Flynt and Nicolas Spinosa met in April of 2009 to see how a collaborative body of work could be made between a photographer and painter.
The artists shared strong interest in the performative act in relation to the making of visual art, with an intensive focus on the body and its re-presentation.
Flynt, the photographer, works extensively with performance artists and dancers, both as models for his work and as a collaborator with many dance and theater projects. This is his first collaboration with another visual artist.
Spinosa, the painter, works in an extremely performative, quasi-ritualistic fashion, using his own body as the primary carrier of pigment, subsequently altered with hand applied elements.
Their initial meeting consisted of three intensive photo shoots built around Spinosa’s practice: initially he served as a model for Flynt’s idiosynchratic shooting technique: tracing the body with flashlights in a completely dark room over relatively long exposure periods. Then Flynt traced Spinosa during the “performing” of his painting creations, following the body as it was painting, imprinted, traced and drawn on large sheets of paper on the studio floor. Additional shooting with completed earlier paintings on both the walls and floor of the studio created additional imagery, and Spinosa was also actively engaged in the making of the photographs through drawing with light (via other flashlights), as well as through conventional mark making.
Flynt subsequently edited the photographic images, using many for his own work, often layered or sequenced with found imagery. The modified digital files were emailed to Spinosa, who had them printed out as light-jet prints and then further drew and painted on these already collaborative images.
The final products are naturally unique images, neither entirely photographs nor paintings, the result of a multifaceted “conversation” between the two artists, where the line between one individual’s aesthetic and the other’s has become almost completely blurred.
The conversation continues following an intensive 5 day residency in Berlin, creating a large series of new underlying images that will be developed over the coming months. The results will be some entirely photographic work (Flynt’s), the 10 meter floor “performed” painting (Spinosa’s), and, primarily, the combined multi-media works on paper that will be the fusion series, “TANDEM”
His own work aims to investigate which place has been left for the body facing the impossible: death. what names, graphism and inscriptions can the body offer.
He has been involved in Visual Arts since he was very young when he began to attend to
workshops and schools of Visual Arts in Buenos Aires (Argentina). In 1992, he began
his studies at the P. Pueyrredón National School of Arts in Buenos Aires and in 1996 he
graduated as Painting Professor. In addition he has attended Photography Courses and
seminars on Aesthetics, Philosophy, Humanities and Visual Culture. At present he lives
in Barcelona.

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.

The [:tandem]-series
Robert Flynt and Nicolas Spinosa met in April of 2009 to see how a collaborative body of work could be made between a photographer and painter.
The artists shared strong interest in the performative act in relation to the making of visual art, with an intensive focus on the body and its re-presentation.
Flynt, the photographer, works extensively with performance artists and dancers, both as models for his work and as a collaborator with many dance and theater projects. This is his first collaboration with another visual artist.
Spinosa, the painter, works in an extremely performative, quasi-ritualistic fashion, using his own body as the primary carrier of pigment, subsequently altered with hand applied elements.
Their initial meeting consisted of three intensive photo shoots built around Spinosa’s practice: initially he served as a model for Flynt’s idiosynchratic shooting technique: tracing the body with flashlights in a completely dark room over relatively long exposure periods. Then Flynt traced Spinosa during the “performing” of his painting creations, following the body as it was painting, imprinted, traced and drawn on large sheets of paper on the studio floor. Additional shooting with completed earlier paintings on both the walls and floor of the studio created additional imagery, and Spinosa was also actively engaged in the making of the photographs through drawing with light (via other flashlights), as well as through conventional mark making.
Flynt subsequently edited the photographic images, using many for his own work, often layered or sequenced with found imagery. The modified digital files were emailed to Spinosa, who had them printed out as light-jet prints and then further drew and painted on these already collaborative images.
The final products are naturally unique images, neither entirely photographs nor paintings, the result of a multifaceted “conversation” between the two artists, where the line between one individual’s aesthetic and the other’s has become almost completely blurred.
The conversation continues following an intensive 5 day residency in Berlin, creating a large series of new underlying images that will be developed over the coming months. The results will be some entirely photographic work (Flynt’s), the 10 meter floor “performed” painting (Spinosa’s), and, primarily, the combined multi-media works on paper that will be the fusion series, “TANDEM”
