The Submerging Artist.

Someone just posted this on Facebook by Megan Dunn (yeah I know, I should have been painting).                                               (click the pic)

It's well worth a read, but if you are half as tired and bitter as I am, you'll probably just skim it (- but it will still be worth it).

La Tempesta - The Trace Gallery, Zürich 14.11.2013

La Tempesta is the title for the 2-person show currently at The Trace Gallery on Militärstrasse.
It pairs the discordant styles of Riccardo Guasco and Gloria Pizzilli (hence the title) and runs until Dec, 24th.

From the Press release: The storm is interpreted like the encounter of warm currents and cold air streams, which generates instability, cumulonimbi, downpours, lightning and thunders.

The storm, title of the exhibition, is the resultant of two different styles, that blend together generating an encounter/collision which fill the atmosphere with winds, positive and negative charges.

The moments before a squall, when the air is charged of electricity, when people start speeding up the pace, opening umbrellas and walking with the head pointed towards something enormous.

Kunst 13 Zürich.

Today was the final day of the Kunst 13 art fair in Zürich. It was good to see it largely dominated by painting, but I think I already may be reaching my saturation point for depictions (no matter how various) of mountains.

Dunja Evers - 5 @ Semina Rerum, Zürich. 26.10.2013

The gallery, Semina Rerum (seeds of things) is on on the first floor of what would appear at first glance to be a private residence, close to the Kunsthaus. With the minimum of signage, this is not a space you would stumble upon and it cerainly isn't screaming for you to enter. 

That being said, once inside, the space feels warm, intimate and surprisingly inviting. Dunja Evers' work, for her show titled: 5, sat particularly well in the space on this bright Autumn afternoon. I couldn't read the press release in German, but the pieces struck me as a seamless marriage between painting and photography and the results were especially effecting.

Rotwand Gallery. You Always Return To The Water. Zürich 26.10.2013

Caught the opening to a couple of good shows in Zürich yesterday.
The first was a group show at the Rotwand Gallery titled: You Always Return To The Water.


Rotwand Gallery. Tajana Gerhard.
Press Release:


The group exhibition You Always Return To The Water brings together selected works, which stem from early periods in the careers of the gallery’s artists. Through the exhibition we would like to offer a somewhat different and sometimes even surprising look at the oeuvre of each artist. Included are works by Anetta Mona Chisa & Lucia Tkacova, Klodin Erb, Tatjana Gerhard, William Hunt, Constantin Luser, Klaus Lutz, Luc Mattenberger, Guillaume Pilet, and Filib Schürmann.

Is time truly linear? Or is it instead constituted by the parallel existence of multiples temporalities? Is the past not always inherent to the present and the future rooted in the here and now? What conclusions can be drawn about a current reality by looking at its beginnings, and to what extent is it possible to identify today the initial threads of tomorrow’s developments?
In parallel to these early works we will present the most recent works by a number of artists in the office and salon. (Text Laura Falletta).

I stand corrected.

OK, so since my last post I found a site: THE ZURICH GALLERIES.


Haven't had a chance to check it out properly yet, but it looks good and just what I'm after.
