We are very pleased to invite you to the opening of the exhibition Global
Recycling with new works of Jenny Rosemeyer, Manfred Peckl and Douglas
Fishbone on may 14th 2005 from 6-9 pm.
All three artists work with found imagery. By using the collage as a
principle found photographs are getting transformed into fairytale alike
stills (Rosemeyer), old cartographic maps get shredded in pieces worn like
cosmic rays around a girls head (Peckl) or imagery found in the internet got
put together in a video as an absurd story to explain the world (Fishbone).
The collages of Berlin based artist Jenny Rosemeyer consist of photographs,
reproductions of selfmade objects or models. Rosemeyer assembles the pieces
together by changing the scale and proportion. In a next step she
photographs the collage and starts the process of collaging again. The
result is a very dense and moody imagery.
Manfred Peckl collects cartographic maps, not for putting them on the shelf
just for shredding them. He assembles the shredded material for intriguing
collages that have a strong painterly quality. Only from a near distance
the viewer is able to see that the work is assembled out of shredded
material. One can start an endless play of asscociations how e.g. the bikini
of one of the ladies is connected to the continent that is displayed on the
pattern of the garment. In Peck ´s new series from 2005 shown at
müllerdechiara the scraps of paper form a nimbus around the nearly undressed
women. Like modern Madonna´s they inspect the viewer selfconfidentially.
Douglas Fishbone´s video work Towards a Common Understanding (2005) shows
found imagery from the internet. The principle of montage for achieving new
interpretation patterns was used as well in Fish bone´s video Everybody
loves a Winner (2004), displayed at müllerdechiara in September 2004. The
combination of the found images looks slightly absurde on a first view:
Blond Bikini mermaids and chemical periodic systems, asian gouaches of
fishes and stuffed gooses, images of sex and food or views of the universe
tell us about the cacophony of the today´s media world. Only the
accompanying commentary of the artist gives this artificial sequence of
imagery a sense with sentences like "statistics are like bikini´s' or
'everything is completely relative'. Fishbone questions average patterns of
explanations of the earth and our western civilization with irony and turns
them into absurdity.
