EROS 24/7

 EROS 24/7

14th of October and 22nd of October 2021

Curator / Artistic Director Elias Kirsche (Basel, CH)

Between 14th of October and 22nd of October 2021 I participate at the Project Residence EROS 24/7 near the French/Swiss border by Basel, CH, in the village of Illtal, France

The aim of this project residency was that an interdisciplinary and mixed group of artists and non- artist should exploring for 8 days how erotic phenomena such as desire, seduction, lust, devotion, jealousy, play, death affect the inspiration and production of Art. Artistic means were one's own erogenous body, the written and spoken word, voice, movement, musical and visual techniques. What does erotic mean to us in its cultural-historical dimension? What role does the Eros play in the art, who, if one follows Plato and Socrates, mediates between the human and the divine world (cf. “Symposium”)? Using erotic art from different epochs and cultures, contemporary interpretations and implementations are to be proposed.

I created two personal projects in collaboration with Thomas Zollinger, Philemo Murkano, Elisabeth Schär, Tobias Gürtler and Mark Lüthi. As well I participated in several projects developed by the other participating artists.

Mini Salon

 Mini Salon

International Small Works Traveling Exhibition

32 artists from 11 countries


October 21 - December 31, 2021

HOF Gallery

5659 Hamilton Ave, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA


Curators Gina Hartmann & Jamey Ponte


MINI SALON The only thing mini about this exhibition is the work. The vision was to be monumental in every other aspect. Though uniform in size each piece contains the spirit of the individual artist, but with a combined voice of a moment in time. Art soothes, persuades, perturbs, and above all persists. The incomparable years of 2020/21 inevitably influenced the artistic voice world wide.

In isolation one would assume a certain ignorance of the outside world, but it has been shown in the repressive or darkest of times there is a shared knowledge that seems to always permeate. This exhibition will serve as a time capsule of expression during a very significant time.
- Organized in partnership by NOW open studio & House of Friends, Kenya / US

In the exhibition are four small lino cut prints of mine are presented :

“koud slova” in South Korea at # social 2021

 “koud slova” in South Korea

# social 2021

13 October - 31 October 2021

CICA Museum

Gimpo, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea

My video work “koud slova” which was made in collaboration with Meer and Kees de Vries is shown at # social 2021

The Exhibition: 

“#social 2021” is dealing with subject matters including socialization, social media, social distancing, social structure, and other social issues. The international group exhibition includes 2D digital art, video art, interactive art, painting, sculpture and installation art

About the “koud slova”

The work suggests the idea that the conversation in the video is not translatable and that it doesn't matter if you can understand part of it or nothing at all. That the meaning of interaction and communication arises not so much from the words themselves, but from a kind of “being” and “doing” of the protagonists . The interaction happens with each other, through gestures, physical actions and the mental exchange of bodies in order to understand
each other ..
