From the collection Kunstraum am Limes on the occasion of the exhibition "Sigmar Polke -- The Editions" at me Collectors Room Berlin
Im künstlerischen Schaffen Sigmar Polkes (*1941 Oels, Niederschlesien, ?2010 Köln) nimmt das Editionswerk einen besonderen Stellenwert ein. Editionen boten ihm eine zusätzliche Möglichkeit, intensive und exzessive Variationen sowie Erweiterungen seiner Experimente in Form einer endlosen Auseinandersetzung mit sich und der Welt zu erschaffen. Wie ein Alchimist erwartete er, dass unterschiedliche Techniken seinem kreativen Ich dienten, sodass Editionswerke als Objekte, Bücher, Mappen, Fotografien, Fotokopien, Collagen und zahlreiche Drucke entstanden sind. Exhibition: me Collectors Room Berlin / Stiftung Olbricht, Germany (28.04.-27.08.2017).
Traces
Transformation of Nature and Culture The luxuriant equatorial forests and voluptuous vegetation of Brazil and the cultural implications of plant genera and flowers are integral to the imagery of Luzia Simons's (b. Quixadá, Ceariá, Brazil, 1953; lives and works in Berlin) art. In watercolors, paintings, photographs, and tapestries, the artist probes the impenetrable role that nature plays, employing pictorial techniques of her own devising to create poetic studies of forms and colors. Simons is a pioneer in the development of the scanogram--a media technique that combines elements of painting and photography. Arranging blossoms and leaves of a wide range of tulip cultivars on a high-resolution scanner, she produces imposing works that boast intense and brilliant colors and stupendous definition. Just as nature and culture are in constant transformation, identities never remain fixed: that is what Simons's work illustrates to stunning effect. The publication Traces presents a comprehensive survey of the artist's oeuvre and an overview of her exhibitions of the past three decades. With essays by Tereza de Arruda, Chantal Colleu-Dumond, and Irina Hiebert Grun.
With Broadax and Firebrand
Warren Dean chronicles the chaotic path to what could be one of the greatest natural disasters of modern times: the disappearance of the Atlantic Forest. A quarter the size of the Amazon Forest, and the most densely populated region in Brazil, the Atlantic Forest is now the most endangered in the world. It contains a great diversity of life forms, some of them found nowhere else, as well as the country's largest cities, plantations, mines, and industries. Continual clearing is ravaging most of the forested remnants. Dean opens his story with the hunter-gatherers of twelve thousand years ago and takes it up to the 1990s—through the invasion of Europeans in the sixteenth century; the ensuing...
