Von jedem eins
“Eine repräsentative Sammlung von Alltagsgegenständen, die thematisch gruppiert und von einem erhöhten Steg sichtbar sind. Nach ihrem Benutzerzusammenhang sortiert, werden die Dinge zu einer Art Meer ausgelegt. Dadurch entsteht eine andere Sicht auf die uns scheinbar vertrauten Gegenstände. Zusätzlich wecken sie in jedem andere Geschichten.” Karsten Bott.
Cat Tuong Nguyen
Photoworks by Cat Tuong Nguyen. More images here and here, and a view into the book ‘Underdog suite’ (Scheidegger & Spiess 2009). You guess the artist is originally from Vietnam and you are right.
Os Gemeos – Alex Fakso
Quite a good collabo, painters/sculptors Os Gemeos and photographer Alex Fakso – pictured above, images courtesy of Galleria Patricia Armocida.
Rescued avalanches
Indoor and outdoor installations by Clemens Behr. Below with Robert Matzke (check his 3D snow graffiti), Tadeshi Kawamata and the Outsider Scene. Would like to see him collaborate with Mentalgassi or JR.
The ROA cycle
You rarely see any videos of Peter ROA painting, below is one. And here is a video interview with the Belgian, but you better check his art, for instance his murals in Mexico and his installation at black rat projects. We need more animals and decay!
EVOL / JUST
Evol’s installation at the flamingo beach lotel in 2008 must be called epic. Together with JUST – the male Martha Cooper of Berlin – he has a show at Wilde Gallery until Nov. 27th. Here is a preview. Why not spend some of the revenues to Miss Marylou?

JR goes Calvin Klein?
As part of the Images festival in Vevey, French artist JR has taken photos from other photographers (f.t.t.b: Man Ray, Helen Levitt, John Philips) and pasted them in a new context. Titled the “unframed” series. Until then he has grounded his work on everyday people, their community and their stories.
I don’t want to judge to early but to me his new approach feels like advertising himself and these pretty well known photographers, I am missing the further meaning. JR, where is the love for the lost people ?!
