We are so proud that

RACHEL LIBESKIND

finally published her incredible work “Kinder Kalender 1933” as an edition of 100!!!  

We are proud that Mario Asef was part of the wonderful project

“Tejiendo Pueblo” (“weaving village“),

an urban project of in situ textile art  produced by the group of women “Fé y Esperanza” (“Faith and Hope”), the colony of proletarian liberation in Santa Fe, Mexico city and the group of collaborators “Identities-Textile art project”.

Through filming this video, Mario Asef was able to capture the consequences of urban development, the sensitivity of the affected inhabitants, their love for their environment and determination in bringing awareness and expressing their protest in an aesthetic way by using traditional hand crafts..

 

 

wildpalms is a borrowed name from Faulkner’s book “The Wild Palms”.  When the book was published, it surprised the audience. Something was new: into a novel 2 independent stories were narrated. The book changed the way we read, the way literature is produced and the way culture understands how time and place are being constituted. We produced exhibitions with our artists to reach new levels of discourse in society and the arts. We believed strongly in a better future thanks to the cultural work, the artist’s labor, the honest work. This great text explains perfectly the statement and strategies in our latest exhibition “incognito”.

NIKA FONTAINE was featured in The Belgo Report!

„Nika Fontaine has said that her interest in kitsch materials comes mainly from aesthetic preference. She is not afraid to be decorative. This is an artist skilled in blending high and low-brow art; her use of materials such as velvet and tasseled curtains would send an artist less bold running in shame. There is a good sense of humour, both about the role of the artist and about herself, which successfully lightens the mood of work that many could find “woo-woo” or taking herself too seriously. They’re fun, light-hearted, pretty and just serious enough. […]they add some humour and playfulness to a show […] so effectively mesmerizing.“ – by Kara Williams

MARIO ASEF building the pyramid of Raddusch

– Combining science and art to create new forms of sustainability –

 

Since summer 2015, Mario Asef has been working in cooperation with

science students and professors from the TU Cottbus – the technological university –

on a project that focusses on the process of (re-)usage and transformation of the local

landscape within the realm of the Aquamediale 11 (Spreewald 15).

 

Mario Asef working alongside professors of the TU Cottbus.

Mario has been working on reusing the mudd of the Spree, which is colored

in deep brown in variing tones due to the high occurrence of iron oxide derived

from former mining in that area. His mission is to reuse and transform waste material

that has been hazardous to the environment and animals living in the river

into a useful building material. Expanding the possibilities of environmental

technology.
