New Publication Specifically, the Dresden Gallery was released
As Jochen Stankowski 1998 from the Rhineland to Dresden, he probably had not dared to think of it, in addition to carrying its main professions here once a gallery. But the graphic designer, painter, photographer, or as he himself likes to call "sign plate" Stankowski, probably recognized the genius loci, and found it suitable for a gallery space on the Rothenburger Strasse: Not too big, bright and located in the bustling New Town. Thomas Kohl, born in Dresden, brought in the gallery of his ideas and experiences as an industrial and graphic designer and publisher.
enriched since 2005, the gallery now specifically the Dresden art scene and shows the recently released publication, "Through the eyes to mind - aspects of visual perception," as numerous and diverse the events taking place in this place is.
as the name of an art gallery in which the visible refers only to itself, on elemental reduced to conscious vision and encourages logical thinking. A 1910 painted by Wassily Kandinsky watercolor is the beginning of the designated as the "concrete art" art movement, which aims Max Bill put it: "items for the spiritual develop-use" - that is, to draw attention to raising awareness functions, the seeing to train.
You can call it a phenomenon that is here in Dresden, more so than in other centers of art, as was in Stuttgart and Cologne, for decades to establish a scene and practical case working artists.
you is based on the reform movements of the early 20. Century with the Werkbund and major art exhibitions, builds on the achievements of teachers of the Academy of Applied Arts, as Carl wheel, and the Academy of Fine Arts with the Bauhaus-Mart Stam coming from.
also worked here Franz Ehrlich, Hermann Glöckner and later Wilhelm Müller, Manfred Luther and Karl-Heinz Adler. They gave in difficult times, many artists and artistic orientation scale. It is striking today is that many of the constructive and practical working artists were connected with the Faculty of Architecture at the Technical University or, as Karl-Heinz Adler, Karl Heinz Georgi, Peter Albert, Dieter Schölzel, Eckhard Bendin, Wolf-Ulrich Neither, Niels-Christian Fritsche. But Gert Baer, a professor of geometry and kinematics, is one of the circle of "concrete".
The book "Through the eyes of the mind" is in two main parts, the total of 17 exhibitions and 14 workshop discussions that previously took place "Specifically Gallery" in the "proceed chronologically. This is the range of concrete constructive forms of expression impressive both in the exhibitions as well as in the texts and lectures.
devoted to the artist Frederick Kracht Jochen Stankowski, the first exhibition. From today's perspective it is obvious that the gallery the particular personality of the artist and his powerful work fascinated. Replying to the essentials of form and color, the powerful physicality that defies rational but in many images of a collection, stimulate the viewer to see not only more accurate, but provoke irritation to reflect on the reliability of vision. The documentation of the following presentations addressed include the views of opposing forming elements such as lines and surfaces in their various combinations and meanings (Jochen Stankowski), forms from a systematic investigation of change of the 2-dimensional by folding (Thomas Kohl: "Metamorphoses"), product - and construction-related work (Karl-Heinz Adler, Friedrich Kracht "shaped block system"), color-form compositions (Folker Fuchs: "Module - serial spaces"), the perception of the camera - Constructivist Photography (Stankowski: "Light through shadows), mathematical laws in digital images ( Gert Bär: Visual Mathematics ") and material-color-form relations (Christine to:" Game of the threads).
The 2nd Part "workshop talks" Concrete Art associated with sign languages from different professional fields. For example, can be read as the composer and musician Hartmut Dorschner writes with talent graphic scores in which through narrow and wide structures, thick and thin, straight, curly, falling, rising lines, letters, syllables, words, the dynamics of the piece is evident.
physicist Dietrich Schulze, a former professor at the Physics Department, recognized for his work on electron similarities in works of art. Peter Grohmann, cabaret artist, typographer and writer interested in the letters, words and language games. Happy to be what it is, discovered the word in the hidden and is pleased that the weak sense of common terms is exposed with humor. Jens brings better writing and street art into the consciousness - that shape interventions that urban areas substantially. Can hardly one to decode it, but they convey through their symbolic messages.
The very rich content publication shows that the gallery Specifically, after only four years as a vibrant, interdisciplinary and generations has established links exhibition, educational and social venue.
The book is much more than a retrospective: it is a kind of textbook for all who are interested in basic design processes and its results. want to be noted that the book reaches many readers and encourages them in their efforts to design quality.
