der herbst hält einzug im weimarhallenpark, in dessen historischem gärtnerhaus die galerie eigenheimseit kurzem ihren neuen standort hat. dieser jahreszeitliche wandel, die wechselnde wetterlage, die fülle der ernte der natur und aufkommenden farbenvielfalt soll als metapher genutzt werden um die gesellschaftlichen veränderungen und künstlerischen verarbeitungen dieser, auf poetischer weise auf zu greifen.
seit 2008 unterhält die galerie eigenheim intensiven kontakt zu künstlern und institutionen aus china. mit der diesjährigen gruppenausstellung chinesischer künstler zeigt die galerie eigenheim mit wang yuhong 王煜宏 und caucasso lee jun 李俊 wohlbekannte positionen aus dem portfolio der galerie und bringt darüber hinaus neue auf dem chinesischen festland und international wohl bekannte künstler wie li wei 李暐 und guo liwei 郭 利偉 als neue positionen mit in die ausstellung hinein. so hat li wei 李暐 2013 offiziell an der biennale in venedig teilgenommen, eröffnete caucasso lee jun 李俊 ein neues studio im herzen von shanghai, hatte wang yuhong 王煜宏 vor kurzem eine soloausstellung im dolun museum in shanghai und realisiert guo liwei 郭 利偉 aktuell ein langangelegtes artist in residence program bei trueart.com. große namen also, welche wir uns freuen ihnen vorstellen zu dürfen. darüber hinaus werden in der ausstellung gäste vorgestellt, welche aktuell noch als überraschung gehandelt werden können.

DIE OHNMACHT [THE UNCONSCIOUSNESS]:
the impenetrable complexity of current global events often eludes an objective assessment. the attempt to gain a rational, factual insight into the interrelationships of world politics often leaves us in a state of exhaustion, confronting us with more and more questions the closer we examine them until we are often left with a complete loss of an overview as a result.
global events and global conflicts are carried out locally with their origins also often based in local events. on this basis, we seek to firstly explore the understanding of global contexts from a local perspective. we have invited five politically focused artists from different parts of the world to open conversation with us by using their work as a starting point. each artist has a local, source-based concentration in their work from which global contexts will be developed and examined. in five consecutive, individual presentations, we will get closer to each respective culture’s formative background and current conflicts with the help of each subject’s work as well as using excerpts from the respective body of work as a whole. conversations and public talks with the artists are the second step toward deepening and discovering the origins of local conflicts on global contexts.
addressing these approaches, kathryn gohmert (* 1983 / texas / usa) opens dialogue about both the perspectives and origins of american people regarding their relationship toward violence and weapons and the resulting position of the USA in world events with the mixed media installation, STATE[S] of PANIC, specifically created for this concept. david ashley kerr (* 1986 / victoria / aus) examines the effects of colonialism on modern australia using photography and video works. yang ming (* 1962 / fujian / chn) gives us insight into the current situation in china through a developed conversation. sandra monterroso (* 1974 / gtm) let us participate in her research about the influences of colonialism in the progressive decline of indigenous, south american cultures and till ansgar baumhauer (* 1972 / de) explains excerpts from historical contexts in the conflict between the west and the middle east in his work COLLATERAL DAMAGE (30+).
thank you so much to everyone that made it to the opening night of THE STROKE OF A PEN this past weekend at ifa gallery and joined to help celebrate the show.
this group exhibition is a collection of multi-disciplinary work and will be running from 21 february – 15 march at ifa gallery, brussels. each work is a separate response to events surrounding the recent charlie hebdo attacks and explores the theme of illustration: it’s power, it’s purposes and it’s limits.
images from the installation and vernissage are below.

“ifa gallery showcases a group of artists commissioned for the exhibition, THE STROKE OF A PEN, each artist interpreting the title as he or she sees best, whether figuratively or with more violent overtones.
christophe demaître melts photography techniques and ink with sensuality. zane mellupe explores the importance of line in the landscape with her marble sculpture. christopher paul gill’s collages underline the necessity of freedom of expression, as does susanne junker with her feminist-themed photographs.
kathryn gohmert’s drawings are the expression of the underestimated carnage that took place in baga, nigeria, on the same date of the charlie hebdo attacks. wu junyong and dai guangyu concentrate on the issue of ink in contemporary chinese culture. alexandre ouairy proposes in “blank project” a series of 100 silk-screen prints on art paper, all numbered and signed. the contract signed during their acquisition defines the artist’s moral right toward his artwork.”

i’m excited to announce that some of my recent work - produced during my residency in shanghai last month - will be part of ifa gallery‘s upcoming group exhibition, the stroke of a pen, with work by other talented artists: dai guangyu, christophe demaitre, christopher gill, susanne junker, zane mellupe, alexandre ouairy and wu junyong.
the exhibition runs from 21 february – 15 march, 2015, and you are also very warmly invited to the vernissage on friday, 20 feb, from 5 – 9 pm if you are in the brussels area then.

thank you Swatch Art Peace Hotel for this image.
an illustration from my pen and ink series completed during my residency at the swatch art peace hotel, mars (2015), is now included in the faces and traces exhibition in addition to the earlier mixed media work from my brain series. See both works here.
the closing date of the show has also now been extended to 1 march, for anyone wanting to visit the exhibition at the hotel’s bund location.
more about the faces and traces show here.
it’s nice to feel that the energy and artwork are very much alive and present in the exhibition and studio spaces of the swatch art peace hotel, even as shanghai begins to get colder.
being able to see the artwork by some of my most favorite humans as their ‘traces’ are displayed together in one place is a great feeling. the work collected from the combined three years’ worth of past artists-in-residence that have lived and created at the saph in shanghai has completely invigorated the walls with new life.
thrilled to be living and working here again over this upcoming stretch of winter weeks ahead. below are images from the exhibition including a painting from my mixed media brain series, on display and in the catalog.
i’m very pleased to announce my work will be included in the exhibition, FACES & TRACES, hosted at the swatch art peace hotel in their shanghai location on the bund as part of the celebration of the hotel’s 3 year anniversary.
with it’s official opening this weekend, FACES & TRACES will showcase the “traces” selected from the works given to the residency program by it’s 139 former artists-in-residence.
celebrations continue with a street art festival on the Bund.
the exhibition is open to the public from november 1, 2014 through the end of the year.
follow the link above for more information about the exhibition and other events in the swatch program on the swatch website.
if you are in the area, please try to go view this group exhibition [and enjoy it on my behalf, as i won’t be there in person]!

Dutch artist and gallery owner karin janssen has written a short article about some of my favorite shanghai-based artist friends, roland darjes, alexandre ouairy, and stefano ogliari badessa - specifically about the CHINESE LANDSCAPE solo exhibition, hosting the work of good friend tao hongjing [who plays with the subject of china’s dual identity in his multi-layered way].
karin janssen is a dutch artist and gallery owner who divides her time between london and the netherlands while exhibiting her work and running her project space in hackney.
really happy about randian’s wonderful article on little victories gallery and the artists involved, A GALLERY ON THE ROLL.
This is a project I was involved in with artists, alec von bargen, Cristina Ohlmer, Evgeny Bondarenko, Jordan Kostov, Julian Palacz, Katie Surridge, Lili Chin, Luca Bray, saoirse higgins, Savinder Bual, Shang Cheng Xiang, Stefano Ogliari Badessi, Vittoria de Ferrari Sapetto, and Willy Chyr.
thank you randian for the lovely words.
also see more on the little victories gallery project here.
thank you for everyone that came to the little victories solo exhibition to see my recent work, A SHOT IN THE DARK, at strictly designers united last thursday. the one-day pop up exhibition was a nice success. in spite of the high temperatures outside, strictly kept everything cool until late - as usual. thank you strictly team/
special thanks to matthew waddick and savinder bual for their photographs, strictly designers united, and to little victories gallery – and the brilliant artists behind it – for their direction and drive [quite literally, as the mobile space was transported to the cool docks on the day of the show].
strictly is also moving locations soon – support them in their new space, and stay tuned for future projects we may work together on in the next few months.
