JENS FÄNGE – AURA

Posted on 2022-10-17

Often exploring the relations between people and architecture, Jens Fänge’s surreal compositions hint at profuse art historical influences, from the darkened archways of Giorgio de Chirico and the steely portraits of Tamara de Lempicka to Georges Braque’s faceted forms and Wassily Kandinsky’s colourful intersecting shapes. Yet Fänge seldom incorporates overt references, deferring instead to the vague and generic.

ANDREI ROITER – NOW PART II

Posted on 2022-10-17

The title NOW hints at a paradox that mutually form the basis of both exhibitions. There is the ‘now’ of current events that occupy our minds, but there is also a more universal and timeless now as it exists in art and in enduring ideas. In his new body of paintings Roiter reflects on a fragile world. The artist meditates on the general mood and atmosphere, as well as on his own vision of our current time through visual metaphors that resonate with ambivalence.
Throughout his oeuvre Roiter has established a personal ‘iconography’ in order to elicit deep layers of meaning.

WESAAM AL-BADRY – THE OTHER LANGUAGE

Posted on 2022-10-17

Inspired by a Kahlil Gibran poem with the same title, The Other Language ties together two of Al-Badry’s documentary projects which explore a coal mining town in Appalachia, and migrant workers in the Central Valley. Gibran’s poem presents the idea that every person is born speaking a language that we have to forget in order to be understood by others. In these works, Al-Badry combines methods of investigative journalism and art to ask us to rethink how people deal with tragic circumstances created by corporate avarice. By citing Gibran’s poetry, Al-Badry’s work enters a multidimensional frame, it is at once surface-level and abstract, autobiographical and biographical.

WHISTLEPIG – THE BOSS HOG IX: SIREN’S SONG

Posted on 2022-10-17

Vermont-based WhistlePig distillery has just unveiled its ninth edition of The Boss Hog series of rare and collectible whiskey. Named The Boss Hog IX: Siren’s Song, this release continues to uphold The Boss Hog’s five promises: single barrel, bottled at proof, powerfully complex, distinctly unique from anything they have done before, and stupendous. The liquid gold starts as a straight rye whiskey aged in American Oak and double cask finished in WhistlePig’s Greek fig nectar and farm-scratch tentura (forged from cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, orange peel, and honey), a Greek liqueur originating in the Peloponnesian city of Patras.
