Group show
FrischFleisch
May 21, 2010 – July 10, 2010
Group shows are a complicated genre for the creator of exhibitions. However, they do offer to the public the advantage that different works are connected by a certain interrogation. The artists have taken up in their own specific way aspects of the questioning and processed them from critical to humorous. It was obvious that they would pick-up the ambiguity of the term ‘FrischFleisch’. For WIDMER+THEODORIDIS contemporary this was a seasonable chance to present in a compact way their gallery concept that is essentially driven by the comprehension of ambiguity.
Luis Amavisca, Henry Kleine, Sven Marquardt, Tino Sand and Yukiko Terada are for the first time guests of the gallery. All the other artists have already participated at least once in a solo or group show and are known to many of the visitors. On display now are: Photography by Erika Babatz, Sabrina Friio, Andreas Fux, Lois Hechenblaikner, Xandra Linsin, Sven Marquardt and Tino Sand. Videos by Luis Amavisca, Ursula Groser and Werner Widmer. Textile works by Michelle Grob, Sybille Hotz and Yukiko Terada. Installation by Bildstein|Glatz. Drawings and paintings by Othmar Eder, Henry Kleine, Antonio Santin. Cut-outs by Stefan Thiel. Graphic-installation by Bruno Nagel. Mixed-media by Franz Wassermann.
To introduce all the artists and their works now would be too a big issue. But there is common ground in this constellation of artists. It’s their examination of flesh and its bodily, spirituality and perishability in the human existence. Their attention focuses not only on the physical surface and its image but tries to liberate what we really see with all our senses. What we call image and think to be seeing is actually much more and very much less than its real visibility. The manifold variety of the presented works reflects the sum of these sensations in all their forms.
With this in mind WIDMER+THEODORIDIS contemporary is very pleased to present also the dancer Tina Wyss in ‘FrischFleisch’. Her style of dance is a contemporary individual interpretation of the traditional flamenco dance. ‘La Tina’ and Michal Abramski on the guitar will perform their unique piece throughout the gallery and the project room ‘Ehegraben’. Being part of the well-known ‘Amber-Ensemble’ they have created a fusion of Flamenco and East-European music. EMI Music honoured their CD ‘Ambar’ with a track on the sampler-CD ‘World Music Special’.
