Drawings with Tuba, Philippines 2012. While an artist residency at Balay Kalamragan, San Miguel, Leythe, i did a workshop together with the painter and musican Dante Enage. He introduced the “Tuba Painting”, with ink made from coconut wine and some bark of forest trees. I asked the children, if i could use them for my own art works. They gave me most of them, and i modified them as you can see here.
Unheard, Unseen – An audiovisual workshop at Menzelschule Berlin Moabit. Can the visible only be perceived with the eye? And is the audible only perceived by the ear? Or is the visible dependent on the audible and vice versa? Could we think everything differently? Are sequences of images and sounds alterable? Can their mutual relationship be changed? Can we concentrate on seemingly marginal phenomena whilst consciously ignoring the supposedly central phenomena? In this workshop the students created a completely new audio-visual draft of urban perception.

Pattern & Signs convey historical, cultural as well as social structures. To be aware and reflect their correlation is a fundamental prerequisite for the lifelines and quality of human coexistence. The exhibition project “Pattern & Signs” deals with this task. It derives from a cross-generational network of artists coming from Thailand, China, India, Cameroon, Bulgaria, Romania and Germany. The artists live and work between the continents; they act “in transit”. In their works they question their state of being “in between” and reflect on an intercultural dialogue and its aesthetic means of expression against the background of their own cultural roots. The exhibition “Pattern & Signs” at Jamjuree Art Gallery, Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, was opened on January 25 in 2011, at 6 pm. It was a great evening with many interesting guests. We received about 100 visitors.
