temporary showroom

The wonderful and awesome JACKIE BAGLEY and I are having a show later this year at AXIS contemorary Gallery.

Here's what it's about:

Medium: 24" high aluminum panels printed with UV inks.

Artist Statement:

"Beneath the new, lies the old.
Living, moving, breathing.

The breath of old remains."

In the "former East Berlin", (now part of "Unified Berlin") we see the extensive reconstruction and re-design of a world gone untouched and unkept under the communist regime since the early 50's. Nothing restored, very little maintained- most gone to ruin.

In amongst the ruins lived the people of East Berlin- in buildings old and crumbling, and in a shocking state of disrepair.

Now, in this era oof reconstruction since the Berlin wall came down, streets are lined with retored facades, intermixed with th remnants of what once was, too old and derelict to be restored, waiting to be replaced with ultra modern and well-designed structure in keeping withe the 'new' Berlin. While these remnants still stand, sandwiched between beautifully restored facades, they continue to house the people of former East Berlin.

Admist the decay, live and breathe these inhabitanants of the "Old World." They are caught "between worlds".

This project will be a mixture of the worlds. As artists and in the projects.

Awesome? Yes. ...
