Initiated in 1999, the RBC Canadian Painting Competition counts as

the most relevant Art Prize for emerging artists in Canada.

We are excited about Nika’s future and our upcoming projects together.

Her next solo show in Canada, will be opening October 24th in Montreal.

Additionally, Nika will be part of the Trans Time group exhibition opening oening October 6th in Paris.

It is great how Nika is actively supporting to not only increase the general awareness of this scene, but also filters out its beauty and transfers it in a way that becomes relatable and approachable for outsiders.

NIKA FONTAINE is currently showing at the Fashion Clinic in Düsseldorf.

The Wald bei Nacht series is a romantic expression and celebration of life.

The Northern nocturne forests stand opposite to the starry sky.

Both, the forest and the sky, contain an infinity of singularities that in its mass create a whole – which in our minds exists as a defined concept.

The glitter particles not only recreate the illusion of the stars, but they as well pixelate the image to a degree that ones eye looses any point of reference or spacial perspective. Instead, the picture reminds a divine matrix.

until November at Fashion Clinic

I walked in the forest last night.

Wanting to understand beauty

I walked in the forest last night.

It was everywhere

in the trees and between their branches

underneath the stones and beside the grass

across the sky and beyond the stars.

Everything was pure beauty

I want to know why.

I desperately wanted to get a closer look at my gaze from far away

and see what my eyes detect

so I broke my neck to fly above myself.

Hovering my dead body

I realize beauty lays in life

MARIO ASEF‘s “Diagram is a Trivial Machine”

is his artist project for the latest print edition of the ARTMargins magazine.

ARTMargins publishes scholarly articles and essays about contemporary art, media, architecture,

and critical theory, appears Triannual by the MIT Press.

“Diagram is a Trivial Machine” is an artistic project aimed to understand how diagrams are related to knowledge.

Mario indicates that the diagram emerged almost at the same time as the birth of the machine.

Machine and diagrams are connected, because both lead towards the creation of narratives

that produce forms and aesthetics of sociocultural and political structure.

Knowledge about the world. Through his artistic approach to diagrams,

Mario produces an art space that can be introduced into the machinery of everyday life.
