Petra Feriancova uses wide range of contemporary visual languages, from conceptual painting through installations, in situ works and photographs. She finds inspiration in her own emotional reactions, explores processes of perception, memory and ways of their interpratation. Her photographic reflections lead to questions and doubts about the space in which we move and live. They reflect reality in a fictional way.

Jarg Geismar

Jarg Geismar looks for themes for his work within the countries where he lives or spends any significant amount of time (Tokyo, Düsseldorf). By doing so, he consistently accentuates the playfulness and imagination, which makes the viewer’s fantasy flow. He is trying to offer people something they have yet not had and brings them a brand new view of the world. In Geismar’s eyes, the fundamental role of art in today’s world is to open new vistas to the world and to encourage emotions and feelings in people.

Peter William Holden

Fabio — Mon, 21 May 2012 08:32:19 +0000

Peter William Holden makes animation in real-time with self-made robotic structures. He’s fascinated by moving imagery and the transformation of objects. He enjoys taking mundane objects and making them into magical machines. Dance also plays a significant role in his work.

I was drawn to it through music. Electro with its synthesized sound introduced me to break-dance and my soul was captured by the beauty of choreographed physical movement.

With my work I want to try and capture and consolidate these experiences and produce sculptural installations which appear to have more in common with the silver screen and the virtual world of the computer than reality.

Kristof kintera – Analysis Results

Fabio — Mon, 21 May 2012 07:48:12 +0000

Analysis Results is the new solo exhibition by Czech artist Kristof kintera. Some of the well known pieces will be shown, such as “My Light Is your Light” (2008), a monstrous chandelier made of urban lamps or “Revolution” (2005), a strange boy banging his head on the wall.

The key work of this exhibition is without a doubt, “Bad News”, created in 2011. It represents a devil who, head leaning on a drum, reacts to his listening to a radio airing announcements about catastrophes, speeches by dictators and Heavy Metal music hitting the instrument like a maniac. Originally in Czech, the sound track of this work was recorded in French especially for this exhibition at La Station.

About the title of the exhibition, KINTERA said: “I like this insipid title precisely because it refers to the pragmatic language of management. But it is also the truth: those pieces are the result of analyses. I try to analyze the world around me, and if it is possible, to hold a rounded and distorted mirror in front of it.”

The Human Pantone

Since its creation, the Pantone color chart has been the official dictionary of color. Artists, designers, painters and decorators have used Pantone to precisely pair colors to create a desired visual aesthetic. Artist Pierre David has redesigned the Pantone with a different shade of coloring; the varied beauty of Human skin tones. David´s work was shown in Brazil, showcasing the range of beautiful colors of the people of the proud South American nation.
