Artist Residency Exchange (PART II)
Roland Boden:
Das Böse hinterm Gartenzaun, ist immer auch nett anzuschaun
During his residency in London, German artist Roland Boden has been working on two new video animations. The works feature motives of decaying housing estates in the South London area, dark staircases and parking lots, depicting locations which exercise a morbid fascination on the viewer and which might be associated with crime. While previous animations have featured his mobile shelter units protecting individuals from all evil of the urban sprawl, Boden is now revealing the fallow areas usually avoided when passing through metropolitan suburbs. Together with a sculpture and a series of photographs the animations will be shown at APT gallery, London from 22nd – 27th February.
Recent group shows include: "Munch revisited" Museum am Ostwall, Dortmund (2005), "Recolving Doors" Fundacion Telefonica, Madrid (2004), "Adieu Avantgarde. Willkommen zu Haus" Ludwig-Forum, Aachen (2003), "Living inside the grid" New Museum, New York (2003). His work was also included in Manifesta 3 Ljubljana (2000). This is the first solo show of Roland Boden in the UK.
Gavin Wade:
#16 What is brain?
During his residency at the Kuenstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin, English artist and curator Gavin Wade has continued working on Strategic Questions, an ongoing work to develop 40 projects in response to 40 questions written by Buckminster Fuller. During his residency in Berlin, Wade has been collaborating with German artist Henrik Schrat to answer question #16 What is brain?
The publication One Day Comic (20.1.05), launched at Kuenstlerhaus Bethanien, is a 30 page comic about Barnaby Kaminsky and the day he answered the door to two missionaries spreading the word of their glorious founder Charles T. Russell. The comic delves into the true story of Wagner Corp., the recipe for fried brains and the connection between Rosa Luxembourg and the special thought of the invisible floating brain.
