With the gallery open I have little time to write on the blog, but I thought that at least I should keep it going with posts about the exhibits that I am having at ArtEco Gallery.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
MANMADEGOD started with me contacting Soheila as one of the first that I told that I am planing to open a gallery. Energetic as Soheila is, it did not take long for her to say she wants to do an exhibit with 3 other artists, Haroun, Gorka and Amir that she was thinking highly about, and that perhaps we then could do it at my gallery.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Soon enough we all 5 were sitting at Tate Modern drinking beer until closing and the exhibit began to take shape.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6 months later the exhibit opened and now I think that we will all stay friends for a long long time and the exhibit was a big WOW! And a great success for my Gallery.</div>

Here are a few images of the exhibit, enjoy:</div>

AFTER MUNCH</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Opening at ArtEco Gallery</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
June 28 2012</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Unni Askeland, Crispin Gurholt and Markus Brendmoe</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
ArtEco Gallery has opened it's doors and it has taken me nearly a month to post the first blog about it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It has been overwhelming on all fronts. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First I would like to mention my luck at working with Unni Askeland, Markus Brendmoe and Crispin Gurholt in my first show. All of them putting the often repeated comment that Artists are difficult to shame. They have all three been positive, supportive and also fun to be with. At the opening even bringing friends and family over from Norway. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yes, because the opening was quite an event with an incredible turnout of people making it impossible to close the gallery after the scheduled three hours preview that lasted for 5 hours but still with nobody considering that it is over... could it not last for ever, oh yes I wished as well, but we continued the party across the street until the darkness brought us home.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The aftermath was quite something else, the party was over and the work about to start. Being nervous and actually shaking of exhaustion I began my new life. Although it is quite a shock to realise how quiet galleries can be on a normal day, every day has brought me a new interesting person into my life. Every day has had good news in it. Now it is time to build up the gallery slowly, with care and with artists that I believe have a long future ahead. Ambitious as I am I will try my best at becoming the best, even how long it is going to take me, I am here to stay.</div>

"The Scream" by Markus Brendmoe</div>
<br />
"After Munch" has been a fantastic way to launch ArtEco Gallery. To go back to my roots and to start from where it all began feels right. With the stunning exhibit "The Modern Eye" at the Tate Modern, Edvard Munch is also taking over other nations hearts as well... although some say it is a bit dark.<br />
It has been a wonderful opportunity for me to show Norwegian Contemporary Artists to London in a very interesting perspective. After having seen the Munch exhibit twice, I am even more convinced about how important this exhibit will stand in the future. You might think I am over my self here, but time will show, I might be wrong but at least it will be standing strong as ArtEco Gallery´s first show.<br />
As this is my first show it will be an incredibly hard task to take it down this weekend. I have grown a strong bond with all the art work and the artists.<br />

PEGGY GUGGENHEIM</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Who would I have wished to invite for dinner? Peggy Guggenheim of course!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Slowly turning into an absolute Art Addict myself, without the same capacity to collect as her, but soon I will be able to present and show great artists that I believe in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Interestingly enough she opened here first Gallery at the same age as me, or should I say inspiringly for me. Her gallery did not last long in London because of the second world war, and changes like creating a little museum instead. But, Peggy continued in New York, where she must be given the credit of bringing out some of the greatest artist of the last Century.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The list is long but she is probably best known for her support to Jackson Pollock and her interesting marriages and affairs that includes among others Laurence Vail, Samuel Beckett and Max Ernst.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Later Peggy decided that Venice was going to be where she would like to live, she bought a Palace and started showing Art right out of her home. Sometimes to the confusion of both visitors and staff.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The books is a refreshing comment on her addiction, she writes freely and honestly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Quite entertaining at times.</div>

As with her phallic horseman sculpture by Marino that she was showing:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>"When the nuns came to be blessed by the Patriarch, who on special holy days, went by my house in a motorboat, I detached the phallus of the horseman and hid it in a drawer. I also did this on certain days when I had to receive stuffy visitors, but occasionally I forgot, and when confronted with this phallus found myself in great embarrassment. The only thing to do in such cases was to ignore it. In Venice a legend spread that I had several phalluses of different sizes, like spare parts, which I used in different occasions."</i></div>

When it comes to it my biggest wish is not to have Peggy come to my dinner party, but that I could have been at one of her guests, it must have been extraordinary. But I will have to be grateful that I get to read about it.</div>

Last night was the final ceremony for the Catlin award. It is an award given to recent graduates from UK art schools. First they pick 40 artists that they see as the most talented of that year, later it triggers down to 10 of these that goes on to be part of the final award. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Soheila Sokhanvari, that I am so lucky to have a chance to show work by in August at my Gallery was one of the finalists. Soheila is an incredible person as well as an artist. Coming from Iran where every prominent governmental figure is shown proudly and statuesque sitting on a horse, she is here showing a horse that has been taken over, a horse that is lying on it's back overwhelmed by its time. How Soheila has managed to create this piece continues to baffle me, I have seen another of her horses before, but when I came to the award I was pulled back by it and the only thing I could exclaim was "WOW!". Her background in biology is probably one of many links to her impressive craftsmanship.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">EDVARD MUNCH</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Sotheby's evening sale 2nd of May 2012</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Just turned on the Sotheby's evening sale online viewing... and I find myself terribly excited. In one minute begins the sale and "The Scream" is lot number 20. The most talked about Art sale of the year. How much will it go for? Who will buy it?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seat".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So there it begins, with Matisse, Picasso, Leger all selling at good, if not over estimates with a bit of a dip with Soutine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Feeling like I am having some sort of personal relationship with this painting, like it is the Norwegian soul being sold somehow, but telling myself there are others at "home", also it is quite amazing what this sale of "Scream" is doing for Edvard Munch's placement in the history of art. Suddenly all are talking about the Scream, even the ones who clearly do not care that much about art.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As another reason for my excitement is the Munch exhibit that is happening at the Tate Modern this summer, but really and honestly I am most excited about the opening exhibit of ArtEco Gallery with an exhibit called "After Munch".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In direct response to the Tate exhibit I have arranged an exhibit with acclaimed Norwegian Artists that will represent the feeling of Munch in us now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
.... And there the internet is down and no online viewing is possible... will have to wait patiently (not my strongest quality) and hope that it will pick up again before lot 20. I have only 5 lots to go on...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What? I am getting the response "This auction is over" is it possible? No... finally I get back in and I can't get a picture but I can hear the auctioneer trying to get a higher bid than $107 Million... but it is not working so $107 Million it is. With the Buyers premium it ends up being 119,922,500 USD.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As I understand this is the highest paid painting at auction. *Auction houses has been involved in higher sales as an example the Gustave Klimt painting in 2006 "Portrait of Adele Blochbauer I" sold at $135 Millions, but as a private sale via Christie's. You can now find that painting at the Neue Galerie in New York. But now the question that lingers is, will we get to see "The Scream" again...? maybe we will know tomorrow.</div>

Now I will follow the London time and slowly fall asleep, but first I have to show you Markus Brendmoe's version of the "Scream" That I will be showing at <a href="http://www.artecogallery.com/exhibitions.html">Art Eco Gallery's grand opening the 28th of June.</a></div>

Markus who has been influenced by Munch, has also here in this painting used images from the devastating 7/7 terrorist bombing in London, so very appropriate that I get to show it here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Last year Markus Brendmoe had a very successful exhibit called "Munch etc." at the <a href="http://www.stenersen.museum.no/en/documents/1.pdf">Stenerersenmuseumet</a> in Oslo. ArtEco Gallery is thrilled to have him be part of the opening exhibit together with Unni Askeland and Crispin Gurholt! You will hear more about it later:)</div>

To take a trip to South London Gallery has been on my to do list for a long time, I was glad when I finally got to visit the space on Friday. In the large bright room, is beautifully printed crepe de chine suspended from the cathedral ceiling, that gives you a bit of a Wow! effect at arrival.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With the "Out of the Body" Exhibit Alice Channer brings together both the humanly and the spacial elements. I feel I can see muscles in the drapery and other parts like ears and eyes are sort of deconstructed on the walls and along the floor. Altogether you have Alice Channer body sort of existing in the room with you, while you do your discoveries.</div>

An excited buzz was going on when I arrived at the Pippy Houldsworth gallery last week, the feeling of a show that has gone right was in the air. Good reviews in the papers, feels rightly deserved after a few years in the making. It was not easy to put up this show I was told, a lot of artists got put off by the title, not finding the humor and the irony. But with the once who did you could feel the excitement of working together, either the tension or the artistic pull. </div>

Neo Rauch and Rosa Loy saying it was easier to work than driving a car together, signing off with a heart on the tree. Combining Rosa Loy's use of animals with Neo Rauch's take on social realism the painting really stands out.</div>

The Ian Davenport and Sue Arrowsmith's work ended up being a layer upon layer painting where he began with the circle and she added the tree silhouette, and with that fulfilling each other.</div>

With Gormley and Parsons you get a combination of her abstract work and his sculptures based on DNA. A dreamy piece of how we try to relate to each other, never really touching completely? But staying in the same universe.<br />

The skyscrapers sharing the same bed somehow really hit home for me. Since I fell in love with a man who builds skyscrapers himself, I could just see us lying there in the middle of Manhattan, and with the beach image in the background (where we also moved to). </div>

It is always interesting to find out how couple works, will it create intrigues or inspiration? closer or looser bounds?</div>

As I am just starting the renovation of my Gallery today, I am sure grateful that I have that close bond to my architect husband, I am not sure how I would do it without him:)</div>

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Patti Smith</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Just Kids</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">While reading this book I was thinking about how much Patti Smith's music has meant to me. Not only the music but her attitude, hey, after seeing the cover of the Album "Easter" I did not shave my underarms for a long time... not that it was much needed, young as I was, but it was a symbol of the strong Female and I being a teenage feminist (who thought that meant "I can carry my own suitcase") took this seriously.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhCoAsBD7sofILJf1IDivXcwAItayQ1Bh5MtR7HGTsqGxcuorUn6-tz3cf78-aYdcKQBrrRrG5PtIOc27HvKHQ6vUU-B7zW5Vk9EZUhijL5NGcfFsHANg_mGtOvyH6gzSuiI7MFZhe2HQY/s1600/images-1.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhCoAsBD7sofILJf1IDivXcwAItayQ1Bh5MtR7HGTsqGxcuorUn6-tz3cf78-aYdcKQBrrRrG5PtIOc27HvKHQ6vUU-B7zW5Vk9EZUhijL5NGcfFsHANg_mGtOvyH6gzSuiI7MFZhe2HQY/s320/images-1.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Many years later I was lucky enough to see Patti Smith play for a smaller audience at the American Patrons of Tate Artist's dinner in New York. Enthusiastic as I was, I was the only standing ovationer, and since it would have been too embarrassing to sit down again, I stood there for quite a long time, thinking should one not stand when it's a dinner? But deep inside I felt that they all wished they could stand too... Right? Well it was that good to me.</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Patti Smith is bearing it all here, I admire her honesty! The book is personal, touching and inspiring.</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Reading about her and Robert Mapplethorpe's meeting, love affair and their life-long friendship makes you think of how a chance meeting can be life transforming. </div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">They struggled together, surviving on small jobs, even hustling (Robert) and at the same time brought out the best artistic traits in each other through an endless amount of support.</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">They knew they wanted to be artists, there was no way they would not be, but how and with what followed a long set of trials from drawing to writing, acting, and spoken word. To become one Rock Star and one revolutionary Photographer.</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>"We were Hansel and Gretel and we ventured out into the black forest of the World."</i></div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>Patti Smith</i></div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The road travelled is described here from Patti's childhood to their first meeting and ends with Robert dying of AIDS in 1989.</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>"There were days, rainy days, when the streets of Brooklyn were worthy of a photograph, every window the lens of a Leica, the view grainy and immobile. We gathered our colored pencils and sheets of paper and drew like wild, feral children into the night, until exhausted, we fell into bed. We lay in each other's arms, still awkward but happy, exchanging breathless kisses into sleep."</i></div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>Patti Smith</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The <a href="http://www.thomasdane.com/">Thomas Dane Gallery</a> is not the easiest gallery to find, if you are not on the lookout I don't think you would have bumped into it. Located on Duke street, very close to White Cube, Mason´s yard, but on the second floor with only a small plaque outside.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">At the moment the Thomas Dane Gallery presents a solo exhibition of the American Artist Lynda Benglis. Lynda Benglis is probably most know for a one page advertisement in ArtForum, that she did in 1974 for an opening at the Paula Cooper Gallery in New York. Lynda Benglis posed nude with a large dildo, in protest to the male controlled art world, in return she has and will never be forgotten.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">At this show though you think more about what materials has been used and what art forms she is borrowing from and also inspiring.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Most of my time these days go to organizing practical things for the Gallery, so I have to apologize for not being more up to date on my blogging. Here is therefore a quick post about the new sculpture that is up at Trafalgar Square. The Norwegian-Danish duo is known for their sharp and humoristic pieces. This time they got their chance to show their ideas at the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square an empty pedestal that is being used as a platform for contemporary art and changed out every 18 months. Taking over from artists like Gormley and Yinka Shonibare, Elmgreen and Dragset added their statue the 23rd of February and it will be standing until April next year.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The golden bronze boy on the rocking horse is a fun reflection to the parallel statue of King George IV that is proudly sitting on his horse close by. The boy rides victoriously but is still on a stand still as a reflection of the new area of Britain? Not the war hungry colonists anymore but more playful and perhaps responsibility for other parts of the world is on a hold.

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">After seeing the <a href="http://artecony.blogspot.com/2011/07/tulip-with-all-my-love.html">Yayoi Kusama</a>'s exhibit at the Victoria Miro Gallery last year I have been following the buzz around Kusama. Kusama is finally getting the attention she deserves. In the 60's and 70's she was one of the most influential artists in New York, dating Donald Judd befriending Eva Hesse and Georgia O'Keeffe, appearing in exhibits alongside Andy Warhol, Claes Oldenburg, George Segal and James Rosenquist at the Green Gallery. Always doing her own thing she has also been quite influential as you can see here with the repeated wall paper in "Aggregation" (three years before Warhol's cow wallpaper...). But after overworking and in ill health she moved back to Japan. There she found the art world to be a lot more conservative and ended up spending years on writing before she in 1977 admits herself in to a hospital where she still lives.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">With her studio conveniently located across from the hospital, she works on her art every day. For the opening of this Tate Exhibit, Yayoi Kusama left the hospital for the first time in 12 years (Guardian).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Following almost chronologically her development as an artist is a treat that I would highly recommend, should you be in London anytime from now until 5th of June. It is a psychedelic trip, quite hallucinatory with a touch of phallic fear, but also filled with humor and great imagination, actually a world it was a bit hard to leave.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Edvard Munch </span>(1853-1944)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Munch Museum</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Oslo</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Last night I came back from a week in Oslo, where I had the privilege of taking time to fall in love with Munch again. At the Munch Museum they were showing some wonderful winter motifs "Sense of Snow" beginning in the 1880s. Curiously snow had not been painted much before, even though the winters are long in Norway. These are far from what Edvard Munch is best known for, which is his "Frieze of Life" series. "Frieze of life" represented Munch's dealing with tragedies in life, love, fear and death, loosely based on notes and sketches that he did in Christiania (Oslo).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Edvard Munch, travelled and lived in various places, had an incredible creative production, and did an impressive amount of art shows. Between 1892 and 1909 it is said that he had 108 shows, many of these in Germany. Although obsessed with death as a subject the thought that I am left with is that he must have been a much stronger man than what he is usually portrayed. Munch is often written about as a lonely, melancholic and mentally unstable person. Truly knowing him we will never, but the paintings live on.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This summer a mayor exhibit of Munch's work "The Modern Eye" will come to Tate Modern. This is a cooperation between the Munch Museum and the Centre Pompidou where it is currently on show.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">My surprise Christmas present this year was to visit my great friend who lives in Copenhagen and to go to the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art. A small card was given to me with an image of Ai Weiwei on it and the flight informations on the back. Last weekend we went and had a great time, even though it was the coldest and snowiest weekend of the year, and again our return ticket was cancelled so we had to stay an extra night.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For those of you that have followed my blog for a while knows how I have been tracking<a href="http://artecony.blogspot.com/search?q=ai+weiwei"> Ai Weiwei's </a>trail for the last couple of years, now when Ai Weiwei has been named the most powerful person in the Art world it feels quite appropriate. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Louisiana is one of Europe's most favored Museums, with beautiful surroundings and a panoramic view across Øresund. It has a large sculpture park and great contemporary Architecture linked to the original building. The first owner of the building, Alexander Brun named the house after his three wives that was all named Louise...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The museum though was created in 1958 by Knud W. Jensen who hired the architects Vilhelm Wohlert and Jørgen Bo to do the extensions in both directions coming out from the original building in a beautiful correlation to the nature, now seen as a milestone in modern Danish architecture.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Ai Weiwei's work kept going around the globe and the attention only grew during his detention in China last year for 81 days. It is impressive though that Louisiana Museum managed to arrange this exhibit so shortly after his release. This bicycle piece is inspired by Marcel Ducamp and represents Chinese favorite means of transport and "Forever" as the brand. The bikes though is not going anywhere... </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />

Here again he is also adding porcelain sculptures, this time as "Rocks", Ai Weiwei sees Porcelain as characteristic Chinese.

The Andreas Gursky exhibit was quite surprisingly awe-inspiring. Every single one of the large C-prints that were shown were worthy a long contemplation. My curiosity goes out to how he actually conceived the final large photographs. At first you might think it is realistic but quickly realizing the impossibility of one image representing the intense amount of "information". Louisiana describes Andreas Gursky´s work of art as "Extreme Sports". Hundreds, of images is being inter-weaved into one image, knowing that, I will leave the rest of the mystery to the visual artist and rather just enjoy.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">When the White Cube opened in Bermondsey last year it felt like a rock concert. At least a thousand people came to line up down the block, and after you finally got into the courtyard it was nearly a stampede to get into the building, I don't even know if everybody made it in. For a Gallery opening that is unheard off, if anyone has beaten that attendance, I would be curious to know. The space is grand comparably to other Galleries it has more of a museum feel to it. The hallway is large and disappointingly unused, we thought it was an installation in the ceiling at first since the lighting is so sharp, the second time I went, it made me get an instant headache (blaming it on the light, which the receptionist said she is getting used to and that it's lesser sharp now...). The artwork at the opening was safe to the extent that it nearly felt a bit monotonous, not what the White Cube is famous for.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The Anselm Kiefer exhibit that is going on right now though, is at another level, it has WOW! Factors written all over it. People either hate it for its dreary depressive messages, or love it for it's extreme grand and thought through masterworks.</div><br />

As with all Kiefer's work, allusions are never literal but reflect an ongoing interest in systems - mystical and material - which have evolved over centuries. Both title and exhibition reflect Kiefer's longtime fascination with the transformative nature of alchemy: "The ideology of alchemy is the hastening of time, as in the lead-silver-gold-cycle which needed only time in order to transform lead into gold. In the past the alchemist sped up this process with magical means. That was called magic. As an artist I don't do anything differently. I only accelerate the transformation that is already present in things. That is magic, as I understand it." </i></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i> - White Cube</i></span></div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">A quick post before the weekend about the artist ERRO. Earlier this month we had a layover in Frankfurt caused by a storm in London, we therefore had a chance the next morning to cruise into Frankfurt City for an early breakfast and a visit to the Schirn Kunsthalle before our flight took off. All three exhibits they were showing at the time at the Schirn Kunsthalle were quite strong and thought provoking, from Kienholz to the Islandic Gabriela Fridriksdottir, Erro was the lightest one by far. Erro also an Islandic artist is both humoristic and political, with his large and colorful canvases he portrays popular elements in a collagious way. Erro is part of a "Figuration Narrative" group in paris, as their response to pop-art, he says you will only need 3 minutes to view a pop-art painting but a figuraton narrative you will need 17 minutes.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Erro (Gudmundur Gudmundsson) was born in 1932 on the north-western part of Iceland and there is a museum dedicated to him in Reykjavik, but the artist live and work in Paris now.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">As long as you can manage to rush through the first room of the Saatchi Exhibit "Gesamtkunstverk" which I found quite dreary, you will be good. Each artist's work has been given great open space to breathe its own life. Although I think the title of the exhibit sounds a bit "dated" the work is all from the the last 10 years. We bought the Saatchi book "Germania" a few years ago (my husband is German after all), and most of the artists in the book are represented here, but it is always a lot more amusing to see the pieces in real.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Unfortunately, though I am only able to do what the book did for me, to show images. But here at least you can be given a little glimpse of what the German Artists (or artists living in Germany) are up to these days:</div><br />

What more suitable then than Emi Miyashita's fantastic corridor "Welcome into my home".<br />
It created a great buzz and a full stop, because you had to use some time to discover her delightful sexual "fairyland" surprises. The tiny drawings were accompanied with magnifying glasses, so you would not miss the micro details.<br />

You really did have to be part of these works to understand the aspect of it. Like the Erik Sanner painting with the video installation, I didn't "get it" before the artist himself showed me by blocking the projector that it was a painting behind it... and that of course made it a lot more "attractive" to me. I am obsessed with revelations.</div><br />

</div>Ending it with abstract sculpture work by Heringa/Van Kasbeek, but I could have gone on for a long time... there were more rooms and an exciting foyer that also should have been documented.<br />
But for now I hope this will give you a great taste of what "Material Matters" had to offer.<br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">One could feel the excitement when one walked into the London Art Fair preview on Tuesday night.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">But, as soon as the champagne was gone, the drop of enthusiasm lowered quite dramatically and I could hear desperate moans "Where is the booze?" or see people eyeing longingly at the ones who still had a glass with bobbles in it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">But, the London Art Fair shouldn't be about getting a glass of wine or not, a pity then that there was nothing one could buy either. More signs of a dooming recession?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The Business design Center is a great building for the Art Fair, first of all it's London's first Carbon Neutral venue. But, originally it was built in 1861 as The Agricultural Hall with an amazing barrel vaulted roof. There were about 100 galleries exhibiting in this fair, that is on its 24th year.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Having to stay at the Sheraton I could not overlook the immense painting at their entrance looking very similar to Huxley's work. I therefore asked Jonathan if by any chance he had been commissioned to do a painting at the Sheraton in Frankfurt, and bingo it was him:)</div><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Even though I have not had a chance to blog much so far this year, my life has still been centered around art. Already at the first open day of the year I dutifully placed myself at two museums in my closest proximity, the Neues Museum and Kunsthalle in Nurnberg.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">At the Kunsthalle they were showing Susan Hiller. I had actually seen this exhibition at the Tate Britain last year, but a new location always add another dimension to the viewing.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I liked the way you walked behind a screening wall into another room, and then another room like a Matryoshka doll (Except the last room was the largest).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Susan Hiller is an American Artist born in Florida, 1940. She has lived in London though since 1969 so she is now considered a British Artist, actually one of Britain's most influential artists.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">With Psl Girls there are 5 synchronized programs running on a rectangular long screen, and the screen it is running on keep rotating spaces. It is quite a psychological and mystical journey she takes you on.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">When I was adding my photos right now I found these two shots of the girl quite bewitching. In the top one she looks vulnerable and perplexed and in the next one strong and determined. Interesting how we can have such emotional range in a very short time, it made me think about how easy it must be to misunderstand one another, or brain works so quickly and our expressions might show some of our thoughts while we would never think of expressing them all.</div><br />

Taking as her point of departure forgotten, overlooked or repressed phenomena in our western culture, as well as personal memories both collective and unconscious, Hiller attempts, with the help of pictures, language and sound, to give such material a form that can be experienced at the same time as creating a forum into which the viewer's own memories, projections and dreams can flow.

Referring to Leonardo Da Vinci, Eva Caridi says<br />
<br />
<i>"The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding"</i><br />
<br />
Eva Caridi succeeds in making the viewer feel connected to her piece.<br />
Mentionable is also how I was impressed by the execution of this exhibit, a great challenge fulfilled.<br />

Not only city galleries are represented here but Galleries that has chosen to open in small towns as well, like the Tucci Russo Studio Per L'Arte Contemporanea at the foot of the mountains in Torre Pellice (one hour away from Turin).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The questions are quite simple and the answers can be quite similar, but it is fun to hear how they opened up their Galleries and how they run it, a lot of them says by intuition!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I especially enjoyed reading that none of them regret opening their galleries, even though it can be rough at times.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">With my "secret" little wish of opening my own Gallery one day I was reading the answers like a sponge.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In the previous Ladies-in-waiting room of the Winter Palace hangs one of the worlds greatest collection of Matisse paintings. Unfortunately shining in fluorescent surgery light, but still breathtaking.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">His colorful paintings and his exasperating strokes started a new direction in Art named "Les Fauves" which means "Wild Beast". It seems quite funny to be named a wild beast painter when he paints quite harmonious domestic objects at times, but then comes this intense other side of him with works like <i>Nymph et Satyre</i> and the <i>Nu, </i>which makes it all be intensified in a furiously amusing way. </div><br />

To why this great collection made it's way to the Hermitage in St. Petersburg one has to connect the dots back to the collector Sergei Schcukin who commissioned work from Matisse. Schcukin collected impressionist and post-impressionist work to decorate his palatial home in Moscow. Shchukin was quite ahead of his time since this was seen as quite unpopular Art. When Lenin came to power his collection was taken away and his mansion turned into a state museum. Schcukin fled to Paris where he died. In later times his collection have been divided between the Hermitage and the Pushkin Museum in Moscow.<br />
