Alyssa Monks

Posted by Fabio 17 October 2011

Alyssa Monks’ paintings explore the tension between abstraction and realism, using different filters to visually distort and disintegrate the body.

Robert Seidel – Folds

Posted by Fabio 14 October 2011

Folds is a 2-channel video installation with projections on 19th century plaster casts of Kladeos, Kephissos, Belvedere Torso, Seer and the Three Goddesses from the Bernhard August von Lindenau Collection. It connects to the fragmentary plaster casts, makes them flow with bygone colors, clothes them and wakes them for a moment, then to be stored as into the sediment of oblivion.

Posted by Fabio 12 October 2011

Once upon a time, music played on bare leaves was a knockout at rural fairs and dances, and the routine pastime of hillbillies. In a remote hamlet, in poverty-stricken Serbian countryside, typically while shepherding cattle, one old man would still pick a leaf from the tree, and for personal pleasure, he would start playing the music of his youth, using the leaf as an extraordinary wind instrument.
