Dick Blick meets Herr Boesner
Emil Michael Klein
Greg Parma Smith
curated by Piper Marshall
June 13 – 24, 2010
Dick Blick Meets Herr Boesner brings together two artists who examine the image of creativity, and its conflicted but authentic joys.
Canvases/surfaces, papers/boards, framing, oil paints, acrylic paints, crayons— the products at an art supply store purport the path to mastery—just a few dollars more for that extra fine badger hair brush. When properly equipped, our democratic instincts inform us that anyone can actualize oneself as an artist, but what exactly is the proper equipment?
We are left lusting after material and coveting technique. Technique is the fortress of the master-craftsman—the casual shopper cannot so easily slip into his role. Mastery is just out of reach. Did mastery abdicate its primacy to the post-studio artists? They move more freely without these materials and historical trappings, all while efficiently favoring ideas, fabrication, and mobility, in pace with digital life.
This exhibition presents labor intensive objects that activate their own rigid obsolescence. These artworks reflect sharply on some of the demands made of contemporary art. Both of these young artists use traditional skills in traditional ways. Here, technique is a vehicle that yields odd, new positions on contemporary art. In bringing this work together, the exhibition questions the critical agency of efficient artwork, the “high” / “low” debate, and de-materialized, de-skilled art practices.

Jeremy Shaw
January 23 – February 18, 2011
That’s when everything just exploded
and I felt like I was in the…
just in the middle of something
really really like intense and but not,
not of the world
Bazz Mathé in Jeremy Shaw, DMT (2004)
Jeremy Shaw’s project may be seen as quite literally psychedelic: an attempt to manifest the mind, but one that does not reproduce the clichés of psychedelic imagery.
Monika Szewczyk
Jeremy Shaw is showing his video-piece DMT (2004) alongside a selection of his experiments with Kirlian photography that have been produced in the last two years.
He graduated (BFA) the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design, Vancouver, BC., in 1999.

Tracking the in-n-visible
Ayaka Okutsu
Ruairiadh O‘Connell
curated by Saul Judd
October 2 – 30, 2010
In his curatorial study tracking the in-n-visible Saul Judd examines our challenge
on how to deal with the hidden aspects of our lives and the question if these forces are taking up place and space or simply form an abstract energy. He arranges a dialogue between the perfomative work of Ayaka Okutsu and an installation by Ruairiadh O‘Connell.
Ayaka Okutsu invites you to visit her in an originally built pyramid structure:
Lip Off Future. In the tradition of various forms of fortune telling she will read your lips and consequently your own future.
- Did you ever read your own lips?
- No.
- Is it possible to do that?
- One thing a fortune teller told me:
You should not read yourself!
Ruairiadh O‘Connell‘s installation is made of different silk screened wooden tableaus. It deals with the term „snookered“. It refers to a situation in the game of billiard where the opponent (accidentally or by means of a safety) is left so that a certain shot on a preferred object ball cannot be played directly in a straight line by normal cueing. It talks about a situation of Kairos – the supreme moment which signifies a time in between, a moment of undetermined period and outcome. The following excerpt of an epigram by Poseidippos characterizes this moment:
- And who are you?
- Time who subdues all things.
- Why do you stand on tip-toe?
- I am ever running.
- Why did the artist fashion you?
- For your sake, stranger, and he set me up
in the porch as a lesson.
Ayaka Okutsu works with performative language, video, sculpture, installation and drawings. She received a BA (HON) from the Edinburgh College of Art college, before moving to Germany where she graduated from to the Städelschule in Frankfurt 2010.
Ruairiadh O‘connell works with different medias from drawings to painting, sculpture to installations. He received BA (HON) on fine arts from Oxford Brookes university.He joined the Städelschule in Frankfurt in 2008.
Saul Judd is a curator based in Frankfurt.

Stephen Suckale
Oscillate Wildly
curated by POS
May 8 – 16, 2010
Between 2002 and 2008 Stephen Suckale studied in his hometown at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste, Städelschule in Frankfurt. Over the years his work ranged from photography to collages.
At the Fondation Gutzwiller he’ll be exhibiting a colorful poster-mural. A bold time traveling experience, a swift review of over 2000 years of art history. Only to arrive in the presence where Suckale points us into the direction of his own work – a mixture of medias – and leave us there unattended.
- We could set up an extra wall for you.
- I’m actually talented. I’ll adapt.

Ingmar Kurth
Der Kanzlerbungalow
In his exhibition, Frankfurt photographer Ingmar Kurth shows the Kanzlerbungalow, the chancellor’s bungalow in Bonn designed in 1963 by Munich architect Sep Ruf.
It is the former residence of the German chancellors Erhard, Kiesinger, Brand, Schmidt and Kohl. Kurth’s photography depicts the building by Sep Ruf, who died in 1982, as a lonely and hushed dwelling. With wafting curtains. Behind which one can sense a sun. With grey stone floors. Timeless, ethereal elegance, in a wondrous setting, deserted.
