Thespace is pleased to present new work by the artist Alex Artist. This exhibition features a series of linked pieces or ‘chapters’ that are partly autobiographical and partly reference the classic film 'Classic film’.
'Classic Film’s uplifting, impressionable fable asks a simple question: "What would this world be like if I had never been born?" It is a gloriously appealing film that treads an uneven path between the sentimental and the profound as the protagonist, George Actor (played by James Person) learns to recognize that he makes a significant difference to those around him. He is an optimistic analogy (or a pessimistic wake-up call) for the way we live our lives in the real world.
This work is a visual exploration of the reciprocal exchange between the film and the manner in which its message is embedded in Artist’s own psyche. How the concept of the protagonist extends beyond fiction and into the real world; how we are all protagonists in the narratives of our own lives. It is no coincidence that ‘Classic film’ is so meaningful at a time when the structural and moral integrity of Capitalism is being questioned and ‘relationships of self interest’ are in the dock. Artist has made this work within a complex framework of self analysis, shared cultural knowledge and global insecurity.

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can not serve both God and Mammon.
That word “patina” is another reason, I’m sure, we all respond to Welsh dressers. It’s the lovely combination of dirt, smoke and beeswax, worked into the wood over two hundred years or more, that creates the warmth and color we all search for in a piece of oak. It makes us feel good. It’s not comfort food; it’s comfort furniture.
But why do we call them ‘Welsh’ dressers, even if the piece of furniture was made in Yorkshire or Shropshire? Dressers were made all over England, Scotland and Wales from the late seventeenth through the nineteenth century. But the term dresser has become synonymous with Wales, probably because of the large number of high quality examples that have come out of there.
Welsh craftsmen were known for their skill and individuality, and dressers from Wales tend to have an abundance of decoration and added features like scalloped cornices and pierced aprons, while English dressers are, as a rule, plainer.
No matter where they were made, no two dressers are ever alike. Inevitably there will be variations in decoration on the top cornice, the arrangement of drawers and cupboards, and the style of legs.
Dressers were made with whatever wood was at hand - pine, elm, or fruitwood, but most are oak. It was easy to split, stood up to wear and tear, and had a beautiful grain and color.
In 1962, Hermann Nitsch locked himself in a basement with two assistants. He crucified a lamb, then proceeded to stage his own crucifixion while one assistant poured animal blood over him, staining the background sheet to produce a "relic." But this wasn't a cultic ritual, this was an exhibition called Blood Organ, and it was just the precursor to performances which have reached festival proportions. His Das Orgien Mysterien Theater is a full-on bacchanalia of music, blood, wine and drama with all senses operating at once. Raw flesh meets naked revelers as Nitsch sprays blood over the audience, implicating them in the deaths of the bulls, sheep, pigs and other animals, and aiming to damn the mechanisms of repression in our affluent society. As he explains:
"A psychoanalytically-oriented dramaturgy allows the Dionysian to burst forth from within us. Suppressed areas of inner impulses are made visible. The actions with flesh, blood and slaughtered animals plumb the collective areas of our unconscious minds. The paramount aim and purpose of the festival is a profound affirmation of our existence, our life and our creation. The mysticism of being leads to a permanent festival of life."

I know that I shall meet my fate
Somewhere among the clouds above;
Those that I fight I do not hate,
Those that I guard I do not love;
My county is Kiltartan Cross,
My countrymen Kiltartan's poor,
No likely end could bring them loss
Or leave them happier than before.
Nor law, nor duty bade me fight,
Nor public men, nor cheering crowds,
A lonely impulse of delight
Drove to this tumult in the clouds;
I balanced all, brought all to mind,
The years to come seemed waste of breath,
A waste of breath the years behind
In balance with this life, this death.

Welcome to a world of art. Art is such a wonderful thing. Each person sees it and feels it differently. There's no right or wrong, there's no true or false. What one person may see as a mess is an intricate beauty to another. Art is freedom of expression, art is an unleashing of the soul. That's the beauty of art. ****************************** If you live outside the USA and would like to purchase a piece of artwork, please email me using the CONTACT PAGE.

Art criticism is the discussion or evaluation of visual art.
Art critics usually criticize art in the context of aesthetics or the theory of beauty. One of criticism's goals is the pursuit of a rational basis for art appreciation.
The variety of artistic movements has resulted in a division of art criticism into different disciplines, each using vastly different criteria for their judgements. The most common division in the field of criticism is between historical criticism and evaluation, a form of art history, and contemporary criticism of work by living artists.
Despite perceptions that art criticism is a much lower risk activity than making art, opinions of current art are always liable to drastic corrections with the passage of time. Critics of the past are often ridiculed for either favoring artists now derided (like the academic painters of the late 19th Century) or dismissing artists now venerated (like the early work of the Impressionists). Some art movements themselves were named disparagingly by critics, with the name later adopted as a sort of badge of honor by the artists of the style (e.g. Impressionism, Cubism), the original negative meaning forgotten.
Some critics are unable to adapt to new movements in art and allow their opinions to override their objectivity, resulting in inappropriately dated critique. John Ruskin famously compared one of James McNeill Whistler's paintings, Nocturne in Black and Gold: The Falling Rocket, to "flinging a pot of paint in the public's face".
Artists have often had an uneasy relationship with their critics. Artists usually need positive opinions from critics for their work to be viewed and purchased; unfortunately for the artists, only later generations may understand it.

Anhedonia
What is anhedonia?
Anhedonia is the inability to experience pleasure. A person who used to enjoy activities will find these are no longer enjoyable.
What does anhedonia feel like?
Anhedonia prevents feelings of happiness. Instead of happiness, the person feels nothing. Activities that used to excite, energize, calm or relax now offer no positive reward. Life seems boring, unenjoyable, and empty.
How can I recognize this symptom?
The person does not express interest in activities that they normally enjoy. The individual may not go on their daily walks, as they always enjoyed doing. Possibly, they may not answer the telephone. The individual may not go out with their friends for coffee, dinner, or pursue leisure activities. They may tell you they feel bored.
How does this bipolar disorder symptom impact life?
Exercise, socialization, or leisure activities usually provide pleasure and enjoyment. When the positive emotional rewards are absent, a person may have less motivation to pursue these activities.
The person becomes increasingly sedentary and isolative. A decrease in exercise, socialization, and leisure activities may worsen the symptoms of bipolar disorder.

Since 1980, the subject and the medium of his work has been the brush stroke. Nares uses huge canvases or papers, on which he leaves the trail of his stroke, including some authentic splattering drops, with the swing of one movement. The oversized brushes he needs for this are made by himself, as well as the apparatus from which he suspends himself laying flat above the canvas.
His work is very spontanous, yet precise; there is no schedule that he follows. Sometimes he gets his perfect stroke on the first try, but usually he needs more repetitions to achieve the desired result, which might require a hundred or more tries. While it is true that each of his painting takes only a few seconds, they are repeated over hours and days. Immediately after the application of the paint, Nares decides if he is content with the result. If he isn’t, he wipes off the paint with a special squeegee, and tries again. To be able to use the canvases several times, he covers them with a smooth, grey primer.
In most cases, there is only one stroke per canvas or paper, which is usually and distinctly horizontal or vertical, but sometimes he combines similar strokes into groups, creating choreographic rhythms.
Nares’s work possesses a similarity to Asian calligraphy, as well as a reminiscence to Roy Lichtenstein’s famous brush stroke as a parody of the Abstract Expressionist gesture of the ’60s to dance, meditation and movement itself. But these are only a few of the most obvious associations a viewer gets by looking at his work.

As yet - unedited, but ready
Galerie presents the Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky's second
solo exhibition in Germany with selected works from the Australia series. Burtynsky's
large scale colour photographs document the many facets of nature as they are transformed
by human industry. Industrial processes such as gold- and silvermining are presented
as highly expressive visions where beauty is found in the most unlikely of places.
The images by Burtynsky (born 1955 in St. Catharines, Ontario) are metaphors of
the dilemma of our modern existence. We are drawn by the desire for prosperity and
a good comfortable life, yet we all know that the world suffers to meet those demands.
Our dependence on nature to provide us with the materials for our consumption, in
contrast to our concern for the health of our planet, sets us into the uneasy contradiction
that feeds the dialogue in Burtynsky's images between attraction and repulsion,
seduction and fear. This contradiction is absolutely intended, as the artist insists
that he is not celebrating nor condemning anything; neither industrialization nor
the impact of civilization on the environment. Edward Burtynsky shows exceptional
talent with his constant attention to composition and light, always presenting images
with a painter's eye for colour and a sculptor's feel of form.
Burtynsky's photographs are included in the collections of numerous major museums
around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art and the Guggenheim Museum in
New York, the National Gallery of Canada, the Biblioteque National in Paris, and
the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid. Edward Burtynsky is established as one of Canada's
most respected contemporary photographers. In June 2006, he was appointed to the
Order of Canada, Canada's highest civilian honour, recognizing lifetime achievement.

The artist constructs optimal viewing areas for the presentation of video works. For this project The artist presented ‘exhibition/work title' which seeks to deal with the idea through experimental conventions and reference poetry. The piece reveals embedded fantasy and sexuality and functions as a topical monologue, a story and narrative. Also presented is 'untitled: painting’ (date). The artist returns in spirit, after recent shows. New works show ideas which refer to an absence of the signifier. The artist is based in a city and was recently part of the ‘exhibition title’ exhibitions. (date). For ‘exhibition title’ the artist has created a video which examines the darker side of the vortex. The artist graduated this summer from the School of Art and is now finishing a diploma. The artist's work questions the transformation of reality in mass produced imagery. The artist brings her intentional fakery for the first time. The artist is one of a group of sculptors including Artist 1, Artist 2 and Artist 3 who have built a reputation for flamboyant artworks. Whilst the work often suggests a vision of the underbelly, it remains captivating and humorous. The artist uses material to create art objects. Central to the practice is the categorisation of the medium by its formal qualities rather than subject or content. 'Exhibition title' was the latest in a series of collaborative site-specific projects using a wide variety of materials by The artist currently based in two cities.
