Bacon’s Dog: Dani Marti at BREENSPACE

dawire — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 13:04:19 +0000

Dani Marti's work deals with the impossibility of portraiture and unveils the frenetic desire in each of us to capture through a photograph, an object or a video the essence of a person. In his work, Marti pairs different mediums such as painting with video and photography, to construct a portrait of someone with whom he has had a personal, creative and/or sexual relationship. Marti transforms this very intimate encounter, however ephemeral it may have been, into an intricate pattern, a woven account of image, text and object that transcends the traditional notions of painting and portraiture.

André Butzer, who was born in 1973 and today lives in Rangsdorf near Berlin, has achieved an international reputation with works that he describes as "Science Fiction Impressionism“.

Pardon My Heart is Margarete Jakschik's first solo exhibition at Galerie Gisela Capitain. A fascination for the music-scene of Los Angeles in the 60's and 70's was the starting point for a sojourn in the city, to trace this yearning and nostalgia for a bygone era and its sentiments.[...]

Raymond Pettibon merges disparate elements of American iconography, re-inscribing strange and often obscured meanings into normative narrative structures reminiscent of comic strips and advertising. Emerging from the Southern California punk culture, where he was closely associated with the legendary band, Black Flag, Pettibon’s works on paper, wall drawings and films, capture the underlying forces that dominate and determine the conditions of the American psyche.[...]
