MARK KENT
"New Paintings & Unique Dresses"
“The input is my own life. During my travelling I constantly keep track of what the coordinates of my location are. When I’m back in my studio, I begin with a figurative image, which I manipulate on the computer. I use the numbers of the coordinates to change the sine waves of the image. It’s an asymmetrical system and my patterns have flaws. They have the accidental in them and they don’t quite match up.”
Mark Kent is presenting new paintings as well as fifteen dresses, all unique, which are accompanied by a signed and numbered artist's book, published by mo-arteditions.
Mark Kent is the third and last artist to feature in the series of exhibitions of paintings. The shows have integrated the work of the former artists, each by leaving a work of their own on display during the next exhibition. He was preceded by Evi Vingerling and George Korsmit.
UTA EISENREICH
"A NOT B"
"Might there not be a link, for instance, between the stain over the wash-stand and the peg on the wardrobe or the scratches on the floor? We might have spotted one sign, but how many more that we had not spotted might be concealed in the natural order of things?" - Witold Gombrowicz, Cosmos
Uta Eisenreich is fascinated by the attempt to establish order within an inconsistent reality that constantly exceeds the borders of comprehension. Her most recent work focuses on the shortcomings of our cognitive tool-kit. A NOT B walks us along the fine line between common sense and uncommon nonsense in a realm strangely reminiscent of long-forgotten pre-school books.
Uta Eisenreich photographs ever-changing combinations of elementary objects arranged by basic methods of classification. From one image to the other, the meaning of things keeps transforming. A web of clues and associations is spun, in which one is triggered to discern underlying patterns and construct sense of the illusory correlations of a-logic connections.
The exhibition of photographs, accompanied by a reader, is compiled from excerpts of the forthcoming book A NOT B, designed by Julia Born.
A NOT B will be published in Fall 2009 by Roma Publishers.
