der herbst hält einzug im weimarhallenpark, in dessen historischem gärtnerhaus die galerie eigenheimseit kurzem ihren neuen standort hat. dieser jahreszeitliche wandel, die wechselnde wetterlage, die fülle der ernte der natur und aufkommenden farbenvielfalt soll als metapher genutzt werden um die gesellschaftlichen veränderungen und künstlerischen verarbeitungen dieser, auf poetischer weise auf zu greifen.
seit 2008 unterhält die galerie eigenheim intensiven kontakt zu künstlern und institutionen aus china. mit der diesjährigen gruppenausstellung chinesischer künstler zeigt die galerie eigenheim mit wang yuhong 王煜宏 und caucasso lee jun 李俊 wohlbekannte positionen aus dem portfolio der galerie und bringt darüber hinaus neue auf dem chinesischen festland und international wohl bekannte künstler wie li wei 李暐 und guo liwei 郭 利偉 als neue positionen mit in die ausstellung hinein. so hat li wei 李暐 2013 offiziell an der biennale in venedig teilgenommen, eröffnete caucasso lee jun 李俊 ein neues studio im herzen von shanghai, hatte wang yuhong 王煜宏 vor kurzem eine soloausstellung im dolun museum in shanghai und realisiert guo liwei 郭 利偉 aktuell ein langangelegtes artist in residence program bei trueart.com. große namen also, welche wir uns freuen ihnen vorstellen zu dürfen. darüber hinaus werden in der ausstellung gäste vorgestellt, welche aktuell noch als überraschung gehandelt werden können.

Wir freuen uns auf Ihren Besuch.
about aera efas
this work is an on-site installation on a piece of land in jacksonville, texas, a location harboring increasing anti-immigration sentiment in the last several years.
this structure creates an enclosed space for a chosen subject; the area immediately beneath it is protected from all harmful elements in its surrounding environment.
as sunlight, additional nutrients, gasses necessary for plant life and new seeds are also stopped from entering the secured area, the natural result is a stagnation, decline and eventual decay of the life being contained.
life cannot exist without risk.

DIE OHNMACHT [THE UNCONSCIOUSNESS]:
the impenetrable complexity of current global events often eludes an objective assessment. the attempt to gain a rational, factual insight into the interrelationships of world politics often leaves us in a state of exhaustion, confronting us with more and more questions the closer we examine them until we are often left with a complete loss of an overview as a result.
global events and global conflicts are carried out locally with their origins also often based in local events. on this basis, we seek to firstly explore the understanding of global contexts from a local perspective. we have invited five politically focused artists from different parts of the world to open conversation with us by using their work as a starting point. each artist has a local, source-based concentration in their work from which global contexts will be developed and examined. in five consecutive, individual presentations, we will get closer to each respective culture’s formative background and current conflicts with the help of each subject’s work as well as using excerpts from the respective body of work as a whole. conversations and public talks with the artists are the second step toward deepening and discovering the origins of local conflicts on global contexts.
addressing these approaches, kathryn gohmert (* 1983 / texas / usa) opens dialogue about both the perspectives and origins of american people regarding their relationship toward violence and weapons and the resulting position of the USA in world events with the mixed media installation, STATE[S] of PANIC, specifically created for this concept. david ashley kerr (* 1986 / victoria / aus) examines the effects of colonialism on modern australia using photography and video works. yang ming (* 1962 / fujian / chn) gives us insight into the current situation in china through a developed conversation. sandra monterroso (* 1974 / gtm) let us participate in her research about the influences of colonialism in the progressive decline of indigenous, south american cultures and till ansgar baumhauer (* 1972 / de) explains excerpts from historical contexts in the conflict between the west and the middle east in his work COLLATERAL DAMAGE (30+).
work by fellow artists based in Shanghai will be shown in the first whywhy art group exhibition opening this weekend. community hospital is housed in shanghai’s newest art space – a former chinese medical clinic in jing an district.

fellow artist from Shanghai days, sergey balovin brings his talent and energy to brussels this afternoon for an experimental happening presented as part of THE STROKE OF A PEN group exhibition during it’s last week at ifa gallery.
sergey has spent the last few years traveling around the world engrossed in his project, IN KIND EXCHANGE.
in a commitment to sustain all his daily needs while strictly avoiding monetary transactions, he has been able to survive exclusively through goods exchanged with people that are excited to trade tangible, useful things to him for beautiful, customized portraits he makes on site.
sergey was trained classically as a painter in russia before setting out on the path he navigates now, as an artist with no use for a monetary system.
I recommend visiting if you are in Brussels then.
thank you so much to everyone that made it to the opening night of THE STROKE OF A PEN this past weekend at ifa gallery and joined to help celebrate the show.
this group exhibition is a collection of multi-disciplinary work and will be running from 21 february – 15 march at ifa gallery, brussels. each work is a separate response to events surrounding the recent charlie hebdo attacks and explores the theme of illustration: it’s power, it’s purposes and it’s limits.
images from the installation and vernissage are below.

“ifa gallery showcases a group of artists commissioned for the exhibition, THE STROKE OF A PEN, each artist interpreting the title as he or she sees best, whether figuratively or with more violent overtones.
christophe demaître melts photography techniques and ink with sensuality. zane mellupe explores the importance of line in the landscape with her marble sculpture. christopher paul gill’s collages underline the necessity of freedom of expression, as does susanne junker with her feminist-themed photographs.
kathryn gohmert’s drawings are the expression of the underestimated carnage that took place in baga, nigeria, on the same date of the charlie hebdo attacks. wu junyong and dai guangyu concentrate on the issue of ink in contemporary chinese culture. alexandre ouairy proposes in “blank project” a series of 100 silk-screen prints on art paper, all numbered and signed. the contract signed during their acquisition defines the artist’s moral right toward his artwork.”
