The work "Water Lilies, Diptych, 2014" is from a group of works that refers to images from art history. The photos in this series were taken with a camera in which my right eyeglass lens with 6.0 diopters is permanently installed. The viewer of my images thus takes over the visual impairment of the photographer, as a radical transfer of subjectivity.

Gravitation, 2020
Edin Bajric

Opening: 27.5.2022 - 6-8 p.m.
Exhibition: 27.5.-10.6.2022
Opening hours: We–Fr 3–6 p.m.

Gravitation is born from pure observation. An old fence that has served for years the clear demarcation, is transformed in his work to a graphic representation. The graphic allows both a view into the almost infinite and the clear demarcation of the before and behind. The interventions of man, are the exciting elements in this graphic. By looking from below and twisting and merging the individual motifs into one image, the viewer gets lost in the unreal landscape.

Elektrogegenständliches - Föhn, 2021
Oliver Orthuber

Opening: 17.6.2022 - 6-8 p.m.
Exhibition: 17.6.-1.7.2022
Opening hours: We–Fr 3–6 p.m.

The three paintings are an excerpt from the 9-part series "Elektrogegenständliches - Föhn". This study deals with the everyday object hair dryer in a painterly dirty expression in the spirit of the art movement Pop Art. In art historical terms, Pop Art is considered a departure from abstract expressionism. In this art series Orthuber unites the two opposing art movements.

1. Wait All Day Long: This image refers to Roy Lichtenstein's "M-Maybe" by personifying the electric object hairdryer and illustrating his/her emotional state in the comic bubble, how lonely he/she feels most of the time of his/her existence in the cold bathroom atmosphere.

2. Pine-Island Glacier: Pine-Island Glacier is a major ice stream in Ellsworthland, West Antarctica. The title "Pine Island Glacier" refers to man-made global warming, which is driven precisely by a non-conscious use of everyday objects. Thus the purely pictorial conversion of the dirty Pop Art gets an additionally inserted meta level by the title.

3. Nimrod: Nimrod is a hero and king from the Bible and the Koran and is considered a great hunter. His name means something like "to resist" and so he is said to have rebelled against God. In the final image of this art series, the personification of the electro-object hairdryer is found through an assimilation in the depicted body of Nimrod. Here, too, an intertextual level takes place through the titling, while ostensibly the painterly realization of the personification in the dirty Pop Art style in connection with abstract expressionism was pushed to the final point.

Oliver Orthuber born on July 20, 1970 in Simbach am Inn, grew up in Altötting, Upper Bavaria. Studied architecture at the TFH Berlin in 1995, graduated in 1999, then worked as an architect on various projects. During this time, he turned to art and subsequently ended his architectural career. Since then, he has been active in the fields of music, literature and visual arts in Berlin.

Shipwreck - Poesie der [Ge] Zeit [en], 2022
Videoprojection, Stereosound, apr. 13:30 min (loop)
Wolfgang Neipl

Opening: 19.8.2022 - 18-20 Uhr
Exhibition: 19.–26.8.2022
Opening hours: We–Fr 3–6 p.m.

The original, static image - the still - still shows the ordered skin structure of the (ship's) body, or what time and weather have left of it. The reorganization of the image molecules in the context of the time-based medium creates a different, a dynamic order: One no longer sees everything simultaneously, nor in the same way, that is, never the same, but recognizes - through addition and subtraction - always anew.

In the storm of the tides, the image molecules find themselves in ever different neighborhoods over the duration of the film time (duration), themselves constantly changing their appearance. They have all freedom. They can disappear completely, sink and reappear, can be sometimes opening and sometimes surface. Passively, they also change their character by constantly changing the color of the neighboring molecules (see also "simultaneous contrast" according to Johannes Itten, according to which color - by changing the neighboring color - also changes its own character). The visual blueprint is characterized by billions of (color) nuances. Individuality by always different neighborhood and new recognition.
