“…She led me to a painting called Spell, an intricate hieroglyphic structure in shades of yellow. I felt called to read it–not to decipher it but to follow where it lead. What I read in it was a powerful wish for transformation. What I read was that art can be a means to enter the “Great Aloneness” and know what is hidden to others. Such people and such works are clues to me that we can be seekers–and maybe even shamans and fierce warriors of awareness–still.” - Tracy Cochran Parabola

“Yellow Airshow
One sunny summer’s day The Yellow Revolution decided to host a fantastic airshow on campus. We asked students to write messages, saying anything they wanted, onto the wings of yellow paper aeroplanes. At lunchtime the planes were released from the main tower block and rained down upon hundreds of munching spectators to their glee.” -Alex Ostrowski

“The Love Mattress offers a simple solution to the limp arms that often follow a lovers’ embrace.
Embracing is a magical human behaviour, and one that distinguishes us from other animals. A loving embrace, especially between partners, is one of the most calming actions. Embracing, and bodily proximity and connection after lovemaking, are very important for strengthening relationships. However, what usually stops this pleasant state is not mental tiredness; it is physical weakness…
The Love Mattress offers partners a simple yet effective position for embracing. This mattress allows you to hug your loved one intimately without any wrist or arm weakness. The assembled mattress has the same dimensions as other mattresses, with the added advantage that you can make a gap between joined parts. Your arm and shoulder can occupy the gaps when you are lying on your side. In other lying styles, you can easily find your most comfortable position. For example, if you are lying on your tummy, your foot can project comfortably into the mattress. Anatomical research supports the claim that The Love Mattress provides greater comfort than existing mattresses.”

Link: artnet.com Magazine Reviews – JUTTA KOETHER AT PAT HEARN GALLERY.
I choose everything by Jutta Koether
“Jutta Koether combines the elements of painting — color, line, gesture, figuration, even text — into densely layered works that are both splendid to look at and inspiring to think about. Her fifth solo exhibition at Pat Hearn is titled “Songs of New York & Co.”, and has a soundtrack of atmospheric music composed by the artist, who plays organ with accompaniment by ex-Television maestro Tom Verlaine. The sound is at times creepy and at other times warming.
The works in the main gallery are covered with grids of happy faces. Simply rendered, these suggestive marks could easily represent the essence of subjectivity in modern society. So many people in close proximity, yet very much separated, very much uncertain. Some of the faces have even mutated extra Reviews, as if to better exist in the lattice of lines.”

BERND HAUSSMANN
Artist Statement
From an interview with Barbara O’Brien, Montserrat College of Art Gallery
A painting starts with a moment of energy that is uncontrolled, dynamic, very concentrated. Then, I let the painting influence me. I try to respond to what my hand or my brush shows me. This can be as much a surprise to me as to any other viewer.
I very strongly believe that a painting has its own reality. Of course, I draw inspiration from various sources, but I feel that ultimately a painting has to work as an individual unit – a world on its own.
One typical way of organizing my paintings, my thoughts actually, is using a Mondrianesque grid. It helps to be able to focus on a little area and make it as good as you can without getting lost in the space of a huge canvas or the tiny corner of a drawing.
The series “Das Lied von der Erde” (The Song of the Earth) is very much about rhythm and very much about sound that we cannot hear. -Bernd Haussmann
