At 7 pm on June 8, 2012 in halle 50 DomagkAteliers (Domagkstr. 33 - Munich), a two-person exhibition titled “Rom Munich. Hin-und Zurück” will open featuring Christian Muscheid and Marco Angelini.

The Domagkateliers, located in the north part of Munich, is a conglomeration of more than a hundred artist laboratories where 150 artists work. It is one of the largest multi-national artist colonies in Europe. Halle 50, an exhibition space used for art events, is inside DomagkAteliers. Katrin Hupke, the curator of this exhibition, is facilitating the collaboration between Italian and German artists in order to achieve a better understanding of both cultures.

Rossana Danile, President of the company Ad Maiora Nature and Culture, operates from the same premise. She considers the fusion of cultures as a tool for social and economic growth. She is involved in organizing the event with the goal of promoting Sicily and Sicilian identity, with food and wine as the synthesis of its natural beauty, culture, art, history and traditions.

Exhibition visitors will have the opportunity to taste wines that reflect flavors and scents of an unspoiled territory.
The wines are selected by oenologist Tonino Guzzo and will be described by researcher Rita Mulas of Paceco (a sicilian village in west Sicily), in collaboration with the Association Ad Maiora Nature and Culture, in the project called "Land and Health: from Crisis to the Rebirth of an Area.” The area of Paceco with its saltmines, seeks to produce an experimental wine that respects nature and the environment.

Andrea Vanadia, the eclectic Sicilian artist from Agrigento, will represent the tastes and scents of his land with vivacity and originality through the rhythms of live percussion. The artist conveys, through the region's original instruments (barrels, pots, scrap metal, recycled objects), the message of environmental sustainability with the slogan "Recycle Everything." His project "Border Line" comes from an inner journey and careful research that took him all over the world to experiment with new sounds and original styles. It is the result of hybridization with other cultures.
Marco Angelini, born in Rome on June 1971, employs a variety of different media experimenting with recycled material, metals and plastics on canvases. In Munich he will exhibit ten artworks featured at the Italian Pavillon of the 54th Venice Biennal of Contemporary Art. The artworks focus on the complex relationship between art and science, and art and medicine.

As Emmanuel Ciccarelli says, "A relationship that seems radically antinomian; a relationship marked by a seemingly irreparabile rift.”
The artist, however, has the power to make this relationship alive and fruitful through irony and seduction, to establish a sincere dialogue and an unexpected empathy. It should be noted that this is a "carnal" dialogue, full of materials, earth, artifices, energy, chemicals and pigments. However, there is - as always in the art of Marco Angelini - no point of saturation, or severity, indeed, there is a suspended and essential lightweight that dominates.

[...] Fibers and materials which flame, crop up, decay, collapse, become stratified, sedimented and, balancing the load, tend to the form, to the image, they tend towards a serene and mysterious anxiety that seem almost, a natural "emergence" of meaning.”

Marco Angelini will also exhibit an art installation from the Urban Grooves exhibit featured in Warsaw and Bratislava in the month of October 2010.
Christian Muscheid is a young abstract painter and installation artist. He was born in 1982 at Saarbrücken and he lives and works in Munich. He studied fine arts at Akademie der bildenden Künste“ Munich. In 2010 he received the Renate Küchler Prize. In this exhibition he shows his most recent works.

Muscheid paints abstract 'images in space', where luminous colours in strong contrast and light are of central importance: The colours he uses are so powerful that it seems that they want to break free from the canvas into the white cube. Let`s say it is all about color and its intensive effects on our senses.

Color is very emotional but it needs to be ordered, otherwise it is romantic, sentimental and worse, decorative.
Abstract paintings or non-referential images allow for expressions of pure visual elements. It is free but not without structure and meaning. Color and its organization can have any result. But color in itself is not the artist's aim. He intends to organize the color so that there is a very specific visual experience.

When you are standing before one of his paintings, colour is applied so as to make the viewer feel the physical moment and all the associated feelings, an aesthetic moment when existence and meanings come into question. The moment becomes eternal.
