Coming Up: Künstler der Galerie und ihre Sparring-Partner

Künstler der Galerie und ihre Sparring-Partner opens on Friday November 7th at the Jedlitschka Gallery in Zürich and is my first exhbition since becoming part of the stable.

The idea behind this group show was simple: each member of the gallery was asked (for whatever reason) to nominate a sparring-partner and invite this artist to exhibit at close quarters on the walls of the gallery.

We have 20 Artists, from 9 countries.
I expect a good, clean fight. 
In the event of a knock-down, you will be directed to go to a neutral corner. 
Are there any questions?..
Protect yourself at all times!
Okay, touch gloves and come out at the bell!
