00:00We are now in lever 121, with the title Art, Life, Art as an idea of art as a living space
00:21and life dream.
00:22And we start now in the exhibition room, because the title, subtitle, means what you
00:31always wanted to know and never got to see in lever 121, that would now be the beginning
00:37of the exhibition room.
00:38And you will now see a few works, for example on the Sims, an old work by Daniel Göttin
00:46from the art school, then by Billy Gruner, an artist from Australia, with a monochrome
00:53white picture, then again his work by Daniel Göttin, the work is about 30 years old,
01:03that is also monochrome, as you can see, and then, very important, by Johannes Burla,
01:09a former professor, one would say today, in the art school at the time, where he learned,
01:17among other things, how to paint pictures.
01:20This is a wonderful wooden cross.
01:24Then we come here to Dirk Rathke, actually a monochrome picture again, which has a retracted
01:35chassis.
01:36He builds this chassis himself and then paints it monochrome.
01:40Then we come to Sarah Carey, an Australian artist, who paints with spices.
01:51This is now a, what is it called again, chili, a chili spice, which she then puts on a
02:03metal plate with a binder.
02:06Then we come to the front room, to Yuka Miyazaki, and Yuka Miyazaki is a Japanese artist
02:16and she paints with cracked ashes and silver leaf, they call it.
02:25And then in this room, the really great work, the little work, also by Johannes Burla.
02:32This is a teapot, curved, two-tone steel.
02:37So, this is actually the front room, already somewhat defined.
02:42Then we come to the back room, there is a work by Daniel Götzi, namely, there he has
02:50learned to weld with Johannes Burla, his professor.
02:55And this is his first work, which he used with everything, actually waste products,
03:00which were lying around on the farm in the Hildhauer class at the time.
03:06Then we come to the international one, to David Shremlet, with a pastel drawing.
03:15That would be Igarashi Akio, also with a drawn paper, that is, drawn paper.
03:25This is all graphite, everything is drawn by hand.
03:30Actually interesting, a Japanese artist, the work is over 50 years old, and an English artist,
03:40the work is a little less old.
03:42And on it is still a textile work by Sasaki Makoto, the heartbeat drawer.
03:50He has recorded his heartbeat on a canvas, actually, that is, a canvas cloth.
03:57It is a canvas cloth, which is still put together.
04:01Then we come to Shuei Fukuda, also a Japanese young, very young artist,
04:07who also actually worked with silver, silver leaf and monochrome colored paper.
04:20Pulled up on a box, actually the monochromy from the old Japanese idea
04:26continues into the modern one.
04:28Then we come to my work, these are thread drawings,
04:35all leftover threads that I collect and then put together into such colorful drawings,
04:41depending on when I sew.
04:43And the next work is also a ribbon drawing.
04:49These are all ribbons that are hardly available today.
04:55They used to be called pants ribbons.
05:00Here I also make drawings, but directly, without a pencil or color pen,
05:05but directly with the material.
05:07Then there is the work of Valerie Arbour from Marfa.
05:15These are embossed prints that she made with her husband Robert Arbour,
05:25the master printer in Marfa, who already printed for Tchad,
05:31for all more or less minimal artists in America.
