Perception based on memory produces inurement to a static world, to empty relationships. The vacuum, negative polarity, generates tension towards the opposite polarity. Therefore a new opportunity for growth is born, which goes through the identification of new creative spaces to be enriched by a new consciousness. The awareness of the process in progress leads to a reconfiguration of the system which is propaedeutic to the perception of the new reality. The exhibition ‘Coming True’, is a description of this process.

Adolfo Magnelli, 2010.

Topsy-Turvy

An exhibition of drawing & collage works by German artist Harald Winter

Private View: Saturday 2nd of May 2009 - 6 pm to 11 pm

The German expression “Drunter und drüber”, which we might best understand as ‘topsy-turvy’, is possibly the most fitting description of the work of Harald Winter. Literally translated this phrase means “under and over”; things randomly scattered, lying around, on top of, and underneath all sorts of other items. Figuratively speaking, the expression refers to a state of disorder and confusion – two ideas which describe not only the character, but also the style of the works displayed in this forthcoming exhibition.
