The toxic building – How Jan Glisman turned the deconstruction of the Deutsche Welle towers into a multimedia art project

Sunday, 03 July 2022 by elke
All Jan Glisman really wanted to do was to "just" document a spectacular event in Cologne: The demolition of all three parts of the 138-metre-high Deutsche Welle broadcasting tower, the third-highest building in the city. The funding had been approved, the plans worked out, but then - everything turned out quite differently. The risk to the broadcasting operations of Deutschlandfunk, which is connected by a common foundation slab, and the spread of asbestos fibres feared by residents in the neighbourhood had prevented the blasting. “Blasting” therefore became "deconstruction". A process that was to extend over a total of five years and challenged Glisman to document precisely that period. Huge numbers of photos, video material and drawings were initially created without any concrete idea of what was to happen with them ...

Nathalie Vanheule – The beauty of vulnerability

Sunday, 16 January 2022 by elke
How can poetic art actually be explained? Strangely enough, not by using words. It comes through the senses. As so happened when l looked at the Instagram photos of Nathalie Vanheule. Even a short glance had sufficed to directly sense the emotional power of her works which move between performance, sculptures and video installations. Trying to discover this phenomenon, I am eagerly heading to Kortrijk in Belgium to meet the artist personally ...

Alex Grein – Ephemeral: photographically “exposed“

Sunday, 01 August 2021 by tom-admin
Cell phone holders, blocks of ice, dissecting tables, frozen matter in a freezer, viscous matter in canisters, photographs in deformed frames, and butterflies on video screens. Although I haven’t seen them, the mere listing makes me more than curious about this exhibition. How can we connect all of these, such different works? A first idea is conveyed in the exhibition title „d a  u   e    r“ ...

Banz & Bowinkel – Digital shadows of real images

Sunday, 23 May 2021 by tom-admin
Admittedly, I had successfully managed to sneak by the world of Immersive art without paying attention, until I visited this exhibition. The terminology alone, with its abbreviations, seemed scary to me: Artificial Intelligence (AI), Computer Generated Imagery (CGI), Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Bots, and now Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) ... Too technical. Too complicated. Or so I thought until I met Giulia Bowinkel and Friedemann Banz – THE artist duo that has been shaping the development of this young art form since its beginnings.

Marlon Red – In pursuit of the undiscovered form

Sunday, 14 March 2021 by tom-admin
Düsseldorf. In the history of art, the idea of the absolute concentration on the interaction of form and colour – while refraining from any representationalism – is not new. My visit with Marlon Red shows me the fact and reason why this continues to be topical and exciting. A quick look at her paintings and drawings is enough for me to realise her passionate joy of experimenting, which is inherent in each one of her works. Her picture motifs in ever new spatial situations which she is able to design in infinite compositions of lines and colour, applied and processed on the most diverse image carriers, provide surprise upon surprise.

Louisa Clement – Can physical emptiness be filled digitally?

Sunday, 17 January 2021 by tom-admin
Bonn. Can physical emptiness be filled digitally? How do the interpersonal relationships change in the era of digitalisation? These are questions that occupy Louisa Clement’s mind and have been occupying mine ever since I visited her. I increasingly understand the power of digital communication which currently appears to help us to mainly maintain the contact with the outside world – while the pandemic is raging. “Your Likes made my day “, so popular now, is assuming a worrying underton …

Fabio Borquez – Photography noir? – A studio visit in seven scenes

Tuesday, 15 December 2020 by tom-admin
Before starting in an unaccustomed and unusual way, a short explanation of the idea generating process: I met Fabio Borquez for the first time at the beginning of 2020. The reason was his impressive exhibition Flores del Mal at Schloss Benrath in Düsseldorf. On view were photos of nude women who formed almost symbiotic creatures in artistic productions with flowers. The opulent ambience of the castle created the perfect backdrop.

Sophia Süßmilch – Pure Artist Talk

Sunday, 09 August 2020 by tom-admin
It only needs a fraction of a second and I’m captivated. What a weird photo! The adjoining, relevant, short and snappy profile in the June edition ofart Magazinunder the promising headline “Die Superheldin”1 clinched it for me. Sophia Süßmilch fascinates me immediately. The same day I write her a mail and enquire about a visit to her studio. She promptly replies. It was to become a special encounter ...

‼️OUT NOW‼️ 1st FILM-Portrait on elke-back ‼️OUT NOW‼️ 1st FILM-Portrait on elke-backes.com: FREDERIC AUERBACH „Behind the Arts“. What brought the Swiss to Hollywood, how are his iconic images created, how does he personally deal with his extraordinary encounters, how did his first gallery exhibition come about, how
 did his first NFT series? Listen to his answers to these and other questions in my interview, conducted at Galerie Sander in Düsseldorf. The film is structured into the following chapters:

• No fear of big names
• Editorial vs. Advertorial
• Creating sensibility
• Set challenges
• Actors don’t like cameras
• No parties, please
• The lucky-shot
• 1st gallery-exhibition
• His NFT-series

The interview is in German with English subtitles and includes a variety of his images and videos.
