Common Room curated by Björn Meyer-Ebrecht

“Common Room” is an installation of a room within a room, which I will build in my studio during this years Bushwick Open Studio weekend. The room will consist of raised platform as floor and painted plywood walls. It will function as a stage for a group show of 8 artists. The initial idea of the show was to bring in work which functions as some kind of window offering different type of view out of the room. Thus the idea of shared space in the title “Common Room” can either be located in front or behind the work. “Common Room is describing the actual confines of the location: the stage-like room as a shared space for artworks in this case by eight artists. At the same time it refers to the shared intellectual, illusionistic or optical space, these specific works create, tying them into larger social room and context.

Communal Table featured on Culturehall

Every month the website Culturehall invites a curator, writer, or artist to introduce a group of four artists in its Feature Issue. The Feature Issue 115 from December was dedicated to the Communal Table, an exhibit, which I had organized earlier this summer in my studio.
The format of the feature allows me to focus on the work of four of the twelve artists in the show. I chose works by Danielle Webb, Rico Gatson, Ian Umlauf, and MaryKate Maher and look back at how this exhibition as whole and each of their particular sculptures functioned on the Communal Table.

Studio Salon with Hiroshi Tachibana

In December 2014 I organized my first salon in my studio. It was a one-night show in collaboration with my friend, Hiroshi Tachibana. Hiroshi is a painter currently based in Tokyo. This fall he had attended a residency at the Vermont Studio Center, and in the following weeks continued his work in my studio while I had been traveling. Hiroshi showed work from both the Vermont residency and a new triptych produced in my studio. While working in my space, he was gleaning images from drawings and collages, and photographing them, as well as taking family photographs at my home, which he incorporated into his paintings. Alongside his work, I had created a new series of three seating platforms in direct dialogue and collaboration with Hiroshi.

New Print Edition

Together with Kayrock Screenprinting, I have produced a silkscreen print and collage. We created a reproduction of a composite book cover, which was individually cut apart along the printed lines
and reassembled – creating a unique abstract shape for each print of the edition.
Untitled ("Ideologie und Utopie") is a 10-color print on black museum board and mounted on white board. The size is 26 x 19.5 inches (67 x 50 cm). The edition size is 25.
