MARC BAUER, Untiled, 2013
paper bag
signed, numbered
edition 100
published by Migros Museum, Zurich, Switzerland € 100,- January 2013
Marc Bauer lives and works in Amsterdam and Berlin. His drawings, installations and videos suggest a mix of childhood memories and fantasies that repeatedly transgress taboos. His works unsettle a traditional understanding of morality. The lines in his drawings are so out of focus, in fact, that here and there they barely give shape and definition, blending and dissolving often into a mist of gray. With all their blurring and smudging, his drawings seem to emulate painting. In this, technically, Marc Bauer plots a new twist in the classical story of drawing versus painting. Here butterflies are symbolizing freedom or innocence, yet this depicted beauty of nature is paradoxically put in order and apparently framed.
ANAHITA RAZMI, States, 2013
DVD, 36 min., loop
edition 10 + 2 AP, numbered, signed
published by Kunstverein Hannover, Hanover, Germany € 450,- December 2013
Anahita Razmi has a special relationship with Iran, the homeland of her father. She connects with it on the level of a stranger, as she explains, “Somebody who is on the outside, but who at the same time finds herself in some kind of indefinable relationship with this alien place.” Here she focusses on the question of what happens when ‘Haram'(i.e. sinful in Islamic jurisprudence/forbidden) and ‘Halal'(i.e. lawful/permissable) are transplanted into a different cultural, as well as aesthetic, political context.

Gary Hume once said: ‘The surface is all you get of me’, and one can see in this collage what he means given that his applied material is not only smooth and polished, but above all very present. He is known for paintings between figuration and abstraction on aluminum panels, which often feature colour combinations made with industrial paints.
Gary Hume was one of the very first of the Young British Artists to be embraced by the art establishment – the first to win the Jerwood Prize in 1997, the first to represent Britain at the Venice Biennale in 1999, the first to be elected to the Royal Academy in 2001.
