Paul Celan`s Poems

Exhibition in Serbia

(Some shots of the vernissage)

Paul Celan (23 November 1920, Cernăuţi, Bukovina, Kingdom of Romania, current Chernivtsi, Ukraine - c. 20 April 1970, Paris) was a poet and translator. He was born as Paul Antschel into a Jewish family in Romania, becoming one of the major German-language poets of the post-World War II era.

"Only one thing remained reachable, close and secure amid all losses: language. Yes, language. In spite of everything, it remained secure against loss. But it had to go through its own lack of answers, through terrifying silence, through the thousand darknesses of murderous speech. It went through. It gave me no words for what was happening, but went through it. Went through and could resurface, 'enriched' by it all."

Collecting - Mail Art Project

Netherlands

Library Exhibition20/02/2011 - ongoing
Opening: Sunday, 20 February 2011 15:00

Thousands of people have special collections which vary from stamps, coins, wrappers of cigars to meaningful words and fond memories. Why do we collect? And how? Many contemporary artists use ‘collecting’ to visualise their artistic concept. They also have the ability to put the principles of collecting into one postcard. The third part of Play van Abbe was about collecting. This was an inspiration for the library exhibition Collecting – Mail Art Project.

For Mail Art project Miranda Vissers has asked interested artists to contribute to this project by means of a postcard, attuned to the theme of collecting. This resulted in more than 250 submissions: postcards, drawings, etchings, paintings, collages, photographic and textile works. All Mail Art works are exhibited in the showcases of the library of the Van Abbemuseum and on the weblog. Also a selection of the Mail Art archives of the museum and the organisers is exhibited. The catalogue shows one work of each artist

To see the submissions, check the library blog,

PEACE

As the frame that encloses the surface of a painting, a window can be defined as a border, according to Helio Fervenza as a "device that produces the separation of spaces which would be assigned a different status." By linking these spaces, "the sign that is the edge, does not define anything in a rigorous way, he states:" this is an artifact of presentation, while being "included and excluded from the space provided, allowing us to conclude that a curtain would be both a ceiling and a "passing place" or an instrument of mediation between the interior space, occupied by the statement - PEACE - and outer space.
The work PEACE makes the boundaries of the gallery leaking to the world in perpetuity; overflowing move to other situations - not necessarily art - making art constantly visible to the public: closeing the Curtain comes a new exhibition that gives back to the art space, opening up the street, interfering subtly in urban space.
Vertical strips of red fabric to hatch window, warming the gray curtains, making the statement, which can only be decrypted with the distance: a sign that now emerges from the interior and yells to horizontal gaze through the message of peace - necessarily greater the passerby. According to history, Jesus Christ himself once said: "I leave you my peace, my peace I give unto you." There would be no humanity without this little three-letter word.

Ship of Fools

Mail art is a worldwide cultural movement that began in the early 1960s and involves sending visual art (but also music, sound art, poetry, etc.) through the international postal system. Mail Art is also known as Postal Art or Correspondence Art. The term networking is often used to describe Mail Art activities, based on the principles of barter and equal one-to-one collaboration.

After a peak in popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Mail Art phenomenon has gradually migrated to the Internet, whose “social networks” were largely anticipated and predicted by the interactive processes of postal collaborations. Nevertheless, Mail Art is still practiced in the new Millennium by a loose planetary community involving thousands of mailartists from the most varied backgrounds.

At this time I participate in a group exhibition, which is called "Portrait Author," where various artists performed their picture with the technique of woodcut.

Casa Andrade Muricy - MAC, inaugurated in June 26, 1998, is an exhibition space of the Ministry of Culture of Parana, Brazil. Conducts exhibitions of contemporary visual arts, national and international exhibitions and also of historical significance. It is a unique space for exhibitions and has no collection of works of art.

On the same occasion, there will be exhibition called "plot" of the German artist Gerhard Richter.

Some shots of the colective exhibition "Entrelínguas"

"Entrelinguas" is the dynamic process of an event that comes between accents from different cultures. In this context, independent of the native language of each participant will open up opportunities for recognition and relationship between signs, decoding as well, matter and image.
Subscribed to different categories of manifestations to artistic creations, the signs raise the senses and transcend the verbosity.
The physical contact provided by the finding of six Brazilian works (southern) and ten foreign, is a cultural exchange that discusses the language. Works produced with different techniques, designed for national and foreign artists are brought together in the building that houses the School of Languages "Idiomass.

Work in progress

Enjoying the celebrations of Easter Week, I present here a work done on commission, last year. The work was born from a reflection on the theme of the last supper that Christ had with his disciples. What was very difficult to accomplish something that had not yet been done, since this topic is very current in art history. Therefore I chose to use a view plongée. In this picture you can see the process of working with their indecision and corrections that contribute to the final result.

Celebrating 20 years of the fall of Berlin wall

By chance, I've found this week on my drawer this old drawing:

Crayon on paper ~ 48 x 68 cm ~ 1998

The Brandenburg Gate is a former city gate and one of the main symbols of Berlin in Germany. It was commissioned by King Frederick William II of Prussia as a sign of peace and built by Carl Gotthard Langhans from 1788 to 1791. Today, it is considered one of Europe's most famous landmarks.

Acrilic lavis on canvas ~ 180 x 270 cm ~ 2009

This work was done with acrylic paint and plenty of water, inspired by a Chinese technique called Lavis. This is a question about the banality of contemporary image, so I chose the theme of the rough images produced endlessly by the security cameras.
The result is a kind of altarpiece divided into nine small paintings that juxtaposed form the set called Surveillance. Each display features with small measures 55 x 85 cm.

Sea of Dreams

9 paintings ~ diferent sizes ~ acrilic on card

Action painting, sometimes called "gestual abstraction", is a style of painting in which paint is spontaneously dribbled, splashed or smeared onto the canvas, rather than being carefully applied. The resulting work often emphasizes the physical act of painting itself as an essential aspect of the finished work or concern of its artist. So the technique was perfect to dream about the sea...

Fourth International Biennial of Mini Prints - Tetovo 2008

The launch of this associate with us, The Fourth International Mini-print Graphics 2007 - according to the tradition on doorsteps by the entrance to the Europen Union, we are meditating as a cosmopolite. The troubles in this regions are as same as they are in all countries. The culturals and traditions autochthonous, are endangered by the recently urbanized man who is looking for to reclaim the heritage. New age named “The architecture of the new time” indeed is consequence from a mathematical function which doesn’t look after to the captured space. Macedonia have had over four thousand archaeological area from: early neolith, classical, roman, up to late middle century. How can we preserve them? The battle against trading with antiques and ”businessmen” is the biggest problem of all countries from the third world. As it’s with ours. “The rich” always find the way how to get what do they want in. The past, present and the future are the one’s nations identity. We are actively seeking for:to work on popularization to the diversity of one another to one after the other, and with your graphics to send a massage for: LET’S PROVIDE THE PROTECTION OF SMALL NATIONS’ CULTURAL HERITAGE!

IX BALCONADAS BIENNIAL

Betanzos is a municipality in Galicia, Spain, in the Province of A Coruña. Betanzos was formerly called by its ancient Latin name Brigantium.The town is located in a fertile valley close to the Atlantic Ocean, and it has one of the best preserved old quarters in Galicia. Noteworthy is the Igrexa de San Francisco (St Francis Church), erected in 1387 by order of count Fernán Pérez de Andrade, whose tomb, decorated with hunting scenes, can be seen inside of the church. The Igrexa de Santiago (St Jacques Church), built in the 15th century by the guild of tailors, has a main portal decorated with a horseback statue of Saint Jacques. Other sights in the town are several town palaces, a 16th-century clock tower, and the town walls, which preserve three of their original four gates. There are two celebrations in Betanzos in August each year. At the festival of San Roque, a very large paper balloon is launched. And later in August, decorated boats sail along the river to the nearby Os Caneiros. Each two years, on september, trere are this nice international biennial of paintings where we can apreciate the works hanging in the old balconys.

LES POTEAUX POTES

Instalation ~ 60 cm perimeter x 350 cm ~ print on plastic bubble sheets ~ 2008

When first time I arrived in Pavé d'Orsay, I've seen that, in the center of the exhibition's room, there was two white poles; so, in that moment, I began to work in a concept, trying to integrate them on the exhibition. The two white poles means to me "repetition" and a clean base to show some kind of print. I choose to use the plastic bubble sheets because it is a kind of poor material, it is transparent and have a surface that 'calls' people to touch it. Using a simple cork (take form a good bootle of french wine) and acrilyc paint, I've print two identic targets, one to each pole.

SCENERY TO "LE DIVAN DU MONDE"

Le Divan du Monde thrives on romantic notions of France. Formerly Le Divan Japonais, this Paris club and concert venue used to be the haunt of seething poet Baudelaire and painter Toulouse-Lautrec. Today, the Divan du Monde is one of the best nightclubs and venues the city has to offer. There I was commissioned to hang a scenery on a unforgettable night: the concerts of Coco Mbassi and Kevin Max. To create that “décor” I mixed some grilles, mirrors, metal doors, drawings and video. In my design, I’ve tried to construct a good ambience beetween visual art, music and the traditional architecture presenting on the stage.

2008-03-01T18:01:00.000-08:00

Coco Mbassi is a highly accomplished singer, composer and arranger whose home country is Cameroon. Moving to France, Coco started using her singing talent as a backing singer for some of the well known African music stars: Salif Keita, Toure Kunda, Oumou Sangare and Manu Dibango as well as some international singers like Dee Dee Bridgewater and Demis Roussos. She went on to receive the German Critics Award for her first solo album, Sepia and was nominated in the Newcomer category in the BBC Radio 3 World Music Awards in 2003. Coco describes her music as a tree with African roots and branches that spread to many other places.

2008-03-01T17:36:00.000-08:00

Kevin Max showed incredible vocal and musical talent early in his life. Later, at Liberty University, he met Toby McKeehan and Michael Tait. Together they formed dc Talk. The band went on to win four Grammys, 16 Dove Awards, and other recognitions. However, they decided to take an extended "intermission" in 2000. In recent years, Kevin has attempted to create a name for himself apart from dc Talk. He insists, "My music is for a Christian and a Buddhist to pick up and still enjoy, as well as for an atheist. But it is there to prod and ask some questions: What's my worldview? What do I believe in, and why do I believe it?"

I spend a nice week teaching people - from all ages - about Ex-Libris made with woodcut technics. Ex-librīs [Latin, "from the books of..."], is usually a small print or decorative label pasted into a book, often on the inside front cover, to indicate its owner.

Some photos of the vernissage

The vernissage happens in a saturday morning. Eighteen artists shared this whole hangar, that was enormous.
I choose to made a larger woodcut - the "Gothic Print" - trying to find some relationship with the building.

" AS RANHURAS DO SENSÍVEL"
EXHIBITION IN PORTO ALEGRE, 2006

'Porto Alegre' means a happy port. It's a nice town located in south of Brazil, with more than one million people. My ehxibition was placed on Gasômetro, a old gas usine that became a nice art center. I receive a large wall to exhibit my woodcuts.

PAINTER IN ACTION

Sometimes I'm invited to paint something as a part of a concert. I like to do this kind of performance: it's a opportunity to share some message with lots of people on the same time. In this occasion I have been in Canguçú, a little town in far south of Brazil, where people don't have access to see art.

EXHIBITION "LE FACTEUR HUMAIN"
Could you find the "Humanos"?

72 prints of 72 artists from 10 countryes - print techniques on paper - 18 x 18 cm Luxembourg, 2004

"Le facteur humain, par définition est celui de l’inconnue, de l’incalculable, du risque, de l’erreur, du maillon faible. Au cours de mes nombreux contacts avec des artistes de partout du monde, le facteur humain m’a toujours semblé quelque chose de positif, d’enrichissant, dépassant l’ intérêt purement professionnel. Ainsi j’ai fait de belles rencontres, trouvé des copains généreux, des amis. Le Facteur Humain, Sylvie et AmiEs, est la réponse de 77 artistes d’origines différentes à mon invitation. Les œuvres sur papier, toutes techniques confondues, 18 X 18 cm, seront présentées en forme de muraille".

FAVELA, PROCEDURE

Printed with a typographic press in Torben Bo Halbirk's Studio, Paris, France, 2002

www.torbenbohalbirk.com

The braziliam word 'Favela' means a shanty-town. As the people who lives in Favelas do, I did with my woodcuts: I've found some pieces of wood on the streets to build my matrix which, after printed, was desconstruct it to give birth to another one, so, in this way, I've printed several houses to form a entire Favela.

VIDEO AND PRINT PROCEDURE OF "TRADEMARK"

In this work I use my own body to print, conglomerating my mouvements and weight, what resulted in an image. To film the performing act I invited Cyril Suvenay, a french film-director. So, below the work I put a TV showing the performance.

STEALING SHADOWS...

Performance art can be any situation that involves four basic elements: time, space, the performer's body and a relationship between performer and audience.

“Performance has been a way of appealing directly to a large public, as well as shocking audiences into reassessing their own notions of art and its relation to culture. Conversely, public interest in the medium, especially in the 1980s, stems from an apparent desire of that public to gain access to the art world, to be a spectator of its ritual and its distinct community, and to be surprised by the unexpected, always unorthodox presentations that the artists devise. The work may be presented solo or with a group, with lighting, music or visuals made by the performance artist him or herself, or in collaboration, and performed in places ranging from an art gallery or museum to an “alternative space”, a theatre, café, bar or street corner. Unlike theatre, the performer is the artist, seldom a character like an actor, and the content rarely follows a traditional plot or narrative. The performance might be a series of intimate gestures or large-scale visual theatre, lasting from a few minutes to many hours; it might be performed only once or repeated several times, with or without a prepared script, spontaneously improvised, or rehearsed over many months.”
(Roselee Goldberg states in Performance Art: From Futurism to the Present)

20 x 500 cm instalation: varnish on book pages, under plexiglass - Paris, France - 2003

I like to make Installation art, because I have the opportunity of use some sculptural materials or other media ( materials used in contemporary insallation art range from everyday and natural materials to new media) to modify the way people experience a particular space (installation art is not necessarily confined to gallery spaces and can be any material intervention in everyday public or private spaces - some installations are site-specific in that they are designed to only exist in the space for which they were created).
