first artists’ dinner at the swatch art peace hotel. thanks for all of the artists who cooked and special thanks to all our friends that came to eat and enjoy the night.
fellow artist-in-residence, xepo w.s., managed to somehow take photos in between cooking his delicious pasta and organizing music.
very thankful for my stay here. looking forward to the work to come from these next few months of focused concentration.
a write-up on the LOST AND FOUND group exhibition at stageback gallery in hip german art magazine, art!
696 weihai lu is honored in this article, as the meaning behind the LOST AND FOUND group exhibition is explored.
fantastic words on URBANVIDEOSCAPESHANGHAI as well – the multi media installation work xepo w.s. and i collaborated together on for its inclusion in this show.
“während die kunststudentin in verflossenen zeiten und geschichten verwoben ist, begeben sich die in shanghai lebende amerikanische malerin kathryn gohmert und der spanische fotograf und videokünstler xepo. w.s., zur zeit stipendiat im swatch art peace hotel – shanghai, in ihr direktes umfeld. in einer gemeinschaftsarbeit haben sie schutt und trümmer der umgebung in die galerie getragen und in einer soundinstallation zu einem urbanen durcheinander aufgehäuft. auf alten fernsehern ist zu sehen, wie gohmert an verschiedenen orten glasplatten aufstellt und bemalt.”
the actual article is available on art das kunstmagazin’s website here.
and to top the list [or close to the top] of reasons why we may actually be living in the end times – 696 weihai lu’s artists are officially farewell-ing off into the sunset with a last group exhibition/party/blowout-celebration this saturday, 30 april, 2011.
the flyer, as it was sent to me, is just below but will be posting more details as they arrive.
paint spill outside my studio, on corner of Shaanxi nan lu and Shaoxing lu.

Returning home to the mainland after a winter detour.
