"Shortbus, John Cameron Mitchell's penetrating look at the bruised sexuality of contemporary New Yorkers, lives on in this photography exhibit from Crackerfarm, George Duncan, and Paul Mpagi Sepuya (all part of the  film's production team). Though Crackerfarm's intimate images of outsiders posing with "ordinary" citizens keeps close to the film's dual themes of outrageousness and universality, Sepuya's work best captures the Shortbus vision: He's built a treelike structure that reimagines the characters' interconnections as lovers, exes, and friends."

Never Mind the Bollocks - Here's Amanda Lear

 

NEVER MIND THE BOLLOCKS: HERE’S AMANDA LEAR serves as the vehicle for an exhibition which consists of paintings by Amanda Lear and the work of nine contemporary artists.

 

This international and multidisciplinary exhibition in which the artists are actively involved, reintroduces the childlike games and spirit of the Dada and Surrealist movement by using a popular motive which acts as a playful interrogation of Amanda Lear. Conceptual confusion, symbolic representation and ordered geometry are all part of an ingenuous fragmentation united by nine contemporary artists.

 

Drawing heavily on what has been written about Amanda Lear, as well as on the images that have been spread worldwide, Amanda Lear served as the wellspring of the imagination and the home of inspiration for the artists.

Continued thought processes and investigations on the subject became a means of reuniting conscious and unconscious realms of experience so completely, that the world of dream and fantasy has been joined to the everyday rational world in an absolute reality, a punk surreality.

 

Amanda Lear, Lisa Beck, Christoph Broich, Scott Hug, Michelle Lopez, Gina Magid, Kanshka Raja, Anna  Sew Hoy, Ryan Steadman, James J. Wiliams III

Art in Progress: BE LARA, BE ART, BE OLD, BE YOUNG, BE PART OF ART

"LARA" is inspired by a video that Christoph made about 12 years ago

this video will be projected at the exhibition: on a lazy day Lara is hanging around at home, knitting, watching TV and cooking tea, red tea!

Now Christoph is searching for Lara:

The shop window says already "LARA wo bist du", which means "Lara where are you? The window will develop with Vitrine 2005

LARA Casting: searching for Lara: the whole evening Polaroid will be taken from

"Lara", finding out the right Lara look. The polaroids will become part of the exhibition


LARA Exhibition: the new exhibits of Christoph Broich are

  • skins of women in latex and fabric

  • a table with teapot and underpants in latex and fabric

  • a figure of Lara in her outfit and showing her underwear

  • a work made of lots of steel boards with slips sewn on the steel, pressed and printed

  • a work made of steel boards showing a x-ray vision of Lara's underpants

  • not at least a work made of Polaroids taken in the shop the evening before


Win Lara's Underpants!

concept of Dt

Click on this image for a larger version

 

Dt (Double take)

 

1. Dt consists of three separate shows that are shown separately, but co-exist in the same space.

-         A show of drawings and mural(s) by Jimi Dams

-         A show of portraits by contemporary photographers.

-         A show of work by fashion designers.

 

 

2. Content wise, Dt is about the nakedness of an artist. How the artist reveals her/ his psyche through her/ his art.

 

 

3. Concept wise, the viewer gets a dialogue between:

-         Drawing, photography and fashion

-         The photographers themselves (as each works in her/his own particular style). This last dialogue is made even more interesting because each photographer used the same nude model, thus taking the term ‘nakedness’ literally.

-         The fashion designers, in how they deal with the term ‘nakedness’.

 

4. To answer a frequently occurring thought with audiences (of what the artist would look like), Dt features the artist of the drawing exhibition as a model for the work of the photography and fashion leg of the exhibition. This way, the viewer is provided with a look into the "soul" of the artists of the drawing leg of the exhibition as well as that of the photographers and fashion designers, by the way they chose to portray / use the artist.

 

5. To see what the dialogue would be between artists whose work revolves around designing clothes and how they would respond to ‘nakedness’, fashion designers were invited to provide the sculptural element of the project. Their contribution is an intriguing and important part of the show that serves as material for reflection and a motivator for production. It shows that sometimes, the way clothing wraps around a body, tells us more about the body than it conceals.
