Opening Reception "ter Hell: Movement Motion" Wednesday 5th May at 8pm

Ausstellung: 06.05.-28.05.2010

Die Ausstellung “ter Hell: Movement Motion” konzentriert sich auf das jüngste Schaffen des Künstlers ter Hell .

ter Hell's ungegenständliche Malerei hat Abstraktion von Farbräumen, Systematisierungen, Zeichen- und Schriftstrukturen zum Gegenstand.
In seiner Bildsprache postuliert er eine Veränderung von Bewusstseinsstrukturen, von Auflösung hin zum energetischen Verständnis und zur „Collage-Identity“.

Ausgangspunkt seiner Malerei sind präzise gesellschaftstheoretische Analysen, die uns die komplexen Wechselwirkungen zwischen Individuen und Gesellschaft verdeutlichen.
Als wesentliche Kraft dieser Wechselwirkung definiert ter Hell „X“, die organisierte revolutionäre Energie. Diese ist notwendig, um im Spannungsfeld widerstreitender egoistischer Einzel- und Gruppeninteressen ein neues Bewusstsein von Identität, der Collage-Identity zu entwickeln.

Gallery Weekend: Finissage "Optimistic American Discords"

OPTIMISTIC AMERICAN DISCORDS
A New Generation of Artists from the United States

Finissage: Saturday 01st May 2010

curated by Edward Lucie-Smith and Roni Feldman

Jon Barwick, Roni Feldman, Elizabeth Ferry, Ryan Peter Miller, Grant Vetter, Casey Vogt

The six young American artists in this show have formed a group that they have named ‘Cacophonic’. Forming groups is, of course, the traditional way in which young artists band together in order to get a hearing. Think, for example, of the Futurists at the start of the 20th century and of the Surrealists who followed them. Roni Feldman, a member of the group and my co-curator, says that their work is a reaction to a decade that began with planes crashing into the World Trade Center in New York, and ended with an equally resounding economic crash – a period of “complexity and dissonance, marked by a clamorous rise in technology, especially the technology of information, as well as by wars and other forms of disaster.” He and his colleagues engage with a world of conflicting values, in the visual arts as well as in politics, and welcome the uproar that results. “We are wary of didacticism.” He says, “and recognize that a work of art is, first and foremost, a unique sensory experience. The balance between content and physical presence in our work reflects an enduring optimism in the face of the odds that we believe is typical of our generation of American artists.”
