RITUAL – our topic in August 2024

Rituals add meaning and a deeper sense of connection to our lives. Our CreativeMornings events have their own rituals - a coffee, a bite to eat and meeting likeminded people – so it was lovely to add an enlightening session by Daniela Fuentes to this event.

In her studio B.Yoga Daniela delved with us into ancient practices that serve as vital reminders of our human essence, fostering a sense of connection, purpose, and creativity. And during the rebirth ritual that Daniela did with us, we were able to let go of stressful issues and open ourselves up to new, positive impulses.

Many thanks for being such a great speaker Daniela, for opening up not only your beautiful studio but also this world of personal growth and creative endeavors for us!

We really enjoyed this gentle start to Friday morning, bonding with you, our community on a whole different level and your great interest in this topic! See you around, hopefully still relaxed, in September for the next event!

An imperfect scan from the old Taschen book, but a painting we would not ordinarily see otherwise. Rothko made a number of green dominant paintings of a similar nature over the course of his life

Art | Basel sneak preview 3/4

We are proud to present for the first time an initial set of new work at Art | Basel 2024 You can see it at Elvira Gonzalez gallery BOOTH F13 | Hall 2.0 JUNE 11 - 16, 2024

As most part of our photographs, these pieces are also inspired by Nihonga, a type of Japanese painting that draws on different styles. Many of them use traditional techniques and materials such as mineral pigments, washi paper, and silk painting.

This new work in particular is an exploration of the intersection between the gestural Western abstraction and the profound symbolism found in the Japanese folding screens ( 屏風 - byōbu) through the medium of photography. Using classical photographic effects such as inversion, sabatier effect, polarization or masking, this body of work seeks to distil the essence of the fleeting beauty of nature, presenting abstract images that evoke a sense of wonder and contemplation and invite viewers on a journey of exploration and discovery.

As part of “The indestructible” series: “Using an image captured with a camera and the possibilities of the photographic medium, we can create photographs that are not a faithful display of reality but an exploration of the limits of reality. The photographic medium, for us, becomes an extension of the human visual capacity. Our goal is to create photographic objects that create in viewers their very own experience of their encounter with the boundary between the real and the unreal.”

Paul Klee Landscape with yellow birds 1923

Watercolor on cardboard - 44 x 35.5 cm

(Basel, Doetsch Benziger collection)

Here nature, music, memories, bright colour and naive designs are all found in this expressive landscape - “art does not reproduce what is visible, but it makes visible what is not always so”. Here imagination and “taking the line for a walk,” as he advised his students, to create new worlds with their own rules and unique perspective .

The song is the call and the land is calling The land is calling the vanished through the song The land haunts us And we haunt them The shadow, the echo, the ghosts of what remain

The loss of our land haunts us. Having been severed from the land we are haunted by it. A forbidden land like a forbidden love. Until we became fire and fire us explore various forms of hauntings, love stories bound to loss, land and self, forms of imprisonment and the call to get free, with sound and song being at the heart of this exploration. In it all is a search for a reconnection to a severed broken land, community, history, one that haunts, imprisons and moves us all at once. The project is a mixed media installation with multiple channel sound and video. It formally explores the idea of hauntings in its aural and visual content and the way in which this material appears and disappears into a given space. Sometimes appearing as poetry from a dissonant voice, a broken melody or intense flashes of text and video, or an imprint from a forbidden land, a forbidden love.

This work is part of the wider May amnesia never kiss us on the mouth project

Runde 8 - Tag 2

Von Freiburg nach Lyon.

Und Petrus kann mich einfach nicht leiden. Dieses Jahr brennt der Osten und der Westen hat den Regen, ohhh man.

Aber gut, los ging der Tag richtung Basel schön gemach, da hier unten nur 30 oder 70 gilt, wäre ja auch sonst zu viel Abwechslung ne? Und wie immer im Süden, Schlauchortschaften mit x Blitzer. Tempolimit? Leute lacht woanders, vielleicht noch möglich auf 100 m bayerischer Autobahn, da der Rest eh Baustelle oder Stau ist.

Ja ja ja, I know aber so langsam und gedrosselt war ich zuletzt in Albanien unterwegs (die können aber anscheinend auch nicht Autofahren)

Nach Basel ging auch der TET los und ehhh, gut gemeint aber, offroad? Hier und da mal ein Schotterweg und tja aus Ende. Die Gegend gab wohl nicht mehr her. Und selbst bei mir noch unasphaltierte Straßen sind es nun schon, vielleicht habe ich morgen mehr Glück.

Ole, der ehh TET?

Um drei Uhr der Beschluss, mhh mäßig kühles Wetter, Zeit ist noch also nach kurzer Pause nahe Lyon was gefunden und sind ja nur 100 km.

Grün, und grün, mit grün

Am Arsch...150 sind es und keine 10. Minuten nach der Pause schiebt sich eine Regen Front von Westen rein und bleibt, bin ja direkt am Gebirge Ausläufer des "Regionaler Naturpark Chartreuse", und somit staut sich da alles... Hass.

AnwALT eingeschaltet, trotzdem lustig

Route an sich wunderschön aber 3m Breite vermooste straßen 80km lang, nass, okay Oberkörper trocken aber nachdem alles runter läuft und somit die Unterhose bei 10 Grad komplett nass Klimanlagen feeling abbekommt.

Nur halt in sehr klein und kalt

Und dann natürlich noch immer nur 30 in den Ortschaften mit 15 bis 20 cm hohen sleeping policeman. Okay die machen Spaß aber net wenn *räusper* ein fuc**** Gott ver******* *********** tiefergelegter bmw meint hier lang zu fahren und alles mit 5kmh schräg ansetzen muss damit er drüber kommt.

Meine Nerven.

Aber irgendwann ist immer Nacht und um 7 Uhr nach 460 km endlich Zimmer beziehen, schnell Supermarkt und huiii Fancy Bier.

Mit Korken und so, muss gut sein

Immerhin etwas.

Morgen, keine ahnung mal Wetter Bericht prüfen..
