Pressetext:

Seit frühchristlicher Zeit begleiten in der abendländischen Welt Szenarien vom Ende der Welt und dem sich anschließenden neuen Reich die Vorstellungen vom menschlichen Dasein. Wesentliche Inspirationsquelle war hierfür die Offenbarung des Johannes.

Weltuntergangsphantasien und ihre bildlichen Darstellungen waren in allen geschichtlichen und kunstgeschichtlichen Perioden aber auch Metaphern, die aus aktuellen gesellschaftlichen Zuständen heraus genährt wurden. Darin wurden Ängste artikuliert und in Bilder gebannt, es wurden aber auch Zukunftsvisionen entwickelt. (…weiterlesen)

Producing this album was a pain and a bliss at the same time, and you can hear that, I believe. It took me 3 years. Parts of it where recorded in Poland just before a very intense time in my life and it seems this album reflects these very trying experiences I had thereafter. Initially thought of as a 2nd part to the antecedent album-maxi-ep “The Rift” it more and more turned into something more conceptual. It became a story, a dark fairytale and it is supposed to be listened to in one go, as an album – old school. And even if its mood is often grim, it tries to get to a point of peaceful acceptance of the beauty of our existence – it has a very simple message I guess: “Things will not last forever, so do not waste your time and energy.”

I want to thank adamned.age, Thomas, Yola & Thiemo for helping making this possible, and I dedicate “to Kate” to Katja Becker, “lost at sea” to Yola Icho and “this mans story” to myself and all people who dare to make mistakes in their lives. Mostly I thank Sulamith, whom I love, for her beautiful pictures and her patience.

Discussion with Reinhard Braun (Camera Austria International), Occupy Berlin (Enkidu rankX, Rachel Clarke), Artur Zmijewski and Joanna Warsza (curators of the 7th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art). Moderation: Axel John Wieder

“Where is politics today? Is it where people are collectively manifesting their disenchantment with the structures of authority and the political class? And where they are beginning to create a politics of their very own? … Can art really function and can it substantially change reality? What is its actual effect?”

der Berliner Problembär

Gespart werden kann immer. Zur Not an der eigenen Substanz 😉

Bis auf die Knochen

bis auf die Knochen…“, Intervention, Tusche, 2012
entstanden anlässlich der Ausstellung “Zwischenspiel”

Berliner Bär 01  Berliner Bär 02

Als Problembär werden im deutschen Sprachraum Bären bezeichnet, die meist nicht artgerechte Verhaltensmuster aufweisen. Problembären sind regelmäßig nur eine indirekte Gefährdung für Menschen, produzieren durch ihr Verhalten aber oft erhebliche Schäden.” aus Wikipedia >>

Weitere Infos zur Ausstellung hier>>

Aufgrund eine freundlichen Spende durch arthome.info / Irene Walz werden wir nun den Problembär einige Zeit länger artgerecht halten können. Vielen Dank hierfür… 😉
