AABER! That’s an Award!

Ok! This was nice for once: Last Thursday and Friday the AABER AWARD 2012 opened temporary doors at an old police-station in Munich, which will be razed down in a while. The second day I went there to be confused by over 65 rooms with artworks, installations and performances. All in all a felicitous event! The first place went, not surprisingly, to Botho Willer and his great sound-sculpture. Pure interactive fun of creating noise with a piece of artwork. Second place went to Camill von Egloffsteins Cockayne (Schlaraffenland), which was assembled by two nice paintings placed in an installation of a cowshed stuffed with empty burger-boxes. Nice! Well done! The third place went to the photo-project HAUT, which I didn’t really see, but no wonder, there was just too much to absorb; and besides I made far too many photos, so I will just present my personal best-off here [Sorry about that: I can’t remember who is who and what is what for some of the things]…

Sorry for all the images I can’t show. Further information you might be able to gather here >>

Erotic Art! What? Hard?

Pigstuff (Schweinkram) was the motto of an exhibition at Haus der kleinen Künste in Munich last Friday. Paradoxically humans under 16 years of age were banned from it. Curiously enough I really didn’t see any art which was very much disturbing and able to scare the hell out of any frigid viewer. In fact that all was pretty much harmless. But maybe I am just one of the hard-boiled, who are used to the evil side of life too damn well. Ok, there was one penis on a canvas, that really can hit the german soul deep and hard, of course! Well! It’s a matter of taste anyway, we are all different (thanx to that!). Apart from the pictures, they had a program of two young ladies playing the violin rather anarchistic, a strange dance-performance and a reading from a book. Interested people can go to the finissage on the 25th >> But anyway: Here we go with a few impressions…
