'I don't like trees in particular, but I like photographs of trees' by erik van der weijde

the ability to deal with the banalities of life and still be elegant and serious about it is a must in a world of abundant visual and written information. erik van der weijde seems to be able to approach this matter via his projects involving photography, installations works and his fanzine. his publication subway with its recycling aesthetics and content reach a point where we can register or not the possibilities of engaging with information or just entertain ourselves with the ultra production of it.

m/lartspace

m/lartspace is beating the shit out of art from under the brooklyn bridge to piracanga beach and lucky frankfurters to have the solo show from one of the makers of it all. lena henke will be having her second solo at parisa kind. in her work she always engage with different means and meanings to establish an image and the results can be sculptural, photographic or any discipline she wishes to use. another aspect of her work is the ability to engage others in discover the potentials art has to transform attitudes in itself and its makers. since her aerly days in the städelschule she enjoy very much the company of cool peers in doing in her on apartment such great art experiments. welcome home lena.

the winds are always blowing and the liquids always flowing

to identify the energies which are around us and bring it to an aestethetic form can be tricky. somehow daniel stempfer managed it when he developed his new work for the show at jenifer nails.
the simple, but really well designed,  paterns  and constructions that he made does elevate elements that are found or not found, because they are more likely to be in the background of our lives, to a very pleasant view. this landscape situation keep you wondering about the poetics of existence. what is cool about it is that event if is poetic it doesn't mean corny as we can find in many position around art  these days.  if you have the chance please do have a chat about these works with his creator.

dontmiss the refreshing universum von daniel turner

to bring the very simple things to the space and make it become the center of the viewer's attention is a quite poetic but risky adventure!!! daniel turner does it in a very easy and elegant way!!! the visual composition is just stunning but it hast some hidden secrets to be discovered underneath its apparently beauty!!! its reduction is powerful but what make it so striking is that it could vanish at any next second!!!

das passagen- werk/the arcades project

surfaces and values

flo maak - Surface Interference Study (after Courbet), © 2013

to be able to really touch beyond the surface of our history and our stories is necessary, sometimes, to observe and recreate surfaces!

flo maak doest it in his latest work group! and they are refreshing for the eyes and for the brain. refreshing because there are not only brilliant executed works but because they contain stunning compositions loaded with the right amount of reflexion on the subject which they are carrying on it or about.

in frankfurt am main  

the exhibition fake is about the phenomena of the fake as an essential element in art practice. humans strive to obtain or reveal a certain truth in their realities, yet the transformation of the real has a strong effect on their lives in so many different ways. it comforts them, confronts them, gets them to smile or moves them to be emotional or rational when it comes to perceiving reality. the construction of the fake seems to play a major role in the development of any aesthetic language and in the blurring of borders between its disciplines.

the paintings of mario hergueta show the perfect combination of painting, drawing and architectonic object. with the project ‘fake states’, the legendary artist gordon matta-clark had started an investigation - in the new york of the 1970s - which continued a tradition of psychogeography and mapping of urban landscapes. the designer kai linke with his mirror chairs series created objects that blur the boundaries between design and art. angelo luz is a multidisciplinary artists. luz uses his body as tool to formulate questions about the relation between body, nature and our existence at this time. he operates in an almost shamanistic way. for fake he will develop a new performance piece.

gordon and social

"My understanding of  art in a social context is as an essentially generous human act, an individually positive attempt to encounter the real world through expressive interpretation. The value of art as it services and  sometimes flourishes in our systems is so closely related to occidental beliefs in individual rights of free expression that one can accuratelly speak of the state of art as a mesure of the state of freedom in our society."
