furnish - book release

May 15th, 2007

The ‘bad mood cloud’ I did last year, supported by my friend Anneli Schuetz, can now be seen in a very interesting new book, released by ‘Die Gestalten Verlag’: “Furnish presents domestic territories that expand upon our current understanding of interior design. The book documents recent work by designers, artists and architects that shows how they are using furniture in pioneering ways: as environment, as art object, as digital-organic growth, as mutation or as insertion.”

FURNISH edited by R. Klanten, S. Lovell, B. Meyer / Text by Sophie Lovell
272 pages / 22,7 x 28,1 cm / full colour, hardcover / language: English
Price: € 39,90 or $ 55,00 or £ 29,99 / ISBN: 978-3-89955-176-1

SCOPE art fair in New York, Feb 22 - 26

March 2nd, 2007

Heliumcowboy artspace was on tour again and took some of my stuff (amongst others’, namely Neasden Control Center, Friends With You, Moki, Boris Hoppek, Alex Diamond and Patrick Farzar) to show it at the SCOPE art fair in New York.

As Jörg (Mr. Helium) mailed me today it was a complete success and my knitted sneakers where probably the topmost mugged exhibit on the whole fair. So now I know why I get so many friendly mails these days from people who checked out my site and pay me nice compliments! Thanks.

Learning to fly.

December 8th, 2006

After more than 2 months in the coal mines I am back on track. And ready for take-off again - going to Cologne to see the film ‘Fliegen lernen’ by Kim Koch which receives it’s premier at the ‘XXX-Pilotin’ filmfestival at Museum Ludwig.
It’s a 60 minutes documentary about 3 women in the german / swiss skateboarding szene. I am one of them. I was accompanied by the team around the marvellous Kim Koch over a longer period in my life, including many changes: From my time as a ‘business woman’ via the decision to quit this career and dare to be a full-time artist. Quite a personal document.. Same for the other two protagonists, Rodi Münzel and Esther Vonplon, both skaters with all their heart. If you are interested and close-by - come along! You might not make me out because I wear a beard or so, but I’ll be there.

Fliegen lernen. Tuesday, 12.12.06 at 8.30 pm - the entry is free
Filmforum NRW im Museum Ludwig, Bischofsgartenstr. 1, Cologne.
