| A show of three artists will be the true kick-off of this years program, a fascinating mixture of jewellery, vessels and sculpture at the highest stage: „Frozen, thrown and folded...“ – from 12th of February to the 1st of April. Once again the gallery program includes contemporary art jewellery, this time by Sam Tho Duong who was born in Vietnam and skilled in Germany as a jewellery designer. His silver necklace and brooches are covered with hundreds of freshwater rice pearls and look like small fruit and twigs mantled with frost and ice crystals. A well known artist in the gallery is Thomas Bohle from Austria. His auratic double walled vessels, more stringent than ever, combine an ideal shape with premium reduction glazes into perfect objects. Bernd Fischer studied at the University of Kassel with Prof. Ralf Busz but left the vessel as a subject of his work. Now he mounts slabs of paperclay and coloured clay – gray-black, white, red or yellow, folded, bended, torn – into large wall sculptures that deny in some way to be made of clay. Like having lost their weight they appear like rubber, felt or thick cloth. |
