Edgar Orlaineta is curating and participating in Cafe Tschichold. Terms like arts, science, technique, poetry and music were terms that for Plato and his contemporaries had meanings that don’t adjust to their present day content. Our word for art, for example, is Latin (ars) and it is a translation of its Greek equivalent: technique (tecné). With tecné, as art, they designated not only poetry and music, which were associated with inspiration, but to those activities that implied some kind of specific dexterity and knowledge within a group of particular rules: the art of cooking, of navigating, but it also applied to painting or sculpture.

“Graduated in 1994, in the faculty of fine arts, university of Alexandria, Reem Hassan is a painter, drawer, video and installation artist, and more recently a performance artist. Her works inspire a kind of vigor that we so desperately lack in our daily life and in many contemporary art works. Reem’s paintings created between the years 2002 and 2006, are highly dramatic: the color and the shapes are playing so vividly to leave the eyes with such a dramatic feeling that never leaves them.” – Nora Amin

Opening reception is on Friday January 22, 2010 from 6 to 8 pm.
Mitterrand+Sanz is pleased to present Making Evidence, the first solo exhibition in Switzerland of Mexican artist Ricardo Rendón (1970).
Making Evidence presents a series of works, composed by interventions in the gallery space and various materials. A hand perforated blind and sheetrock walls, arranged metal rod structures, rubbed shapes on sand paper or industrial felts trimmed in organic shapes are just a few examples which appear as testimonies of different work procedures within the exhibition space, where the art is presented as a fact and evidence of the creative execution.

Dream life of angels, 2009, acrylic on canvas, 30x78 inches
‘Winter White’ exhibition is open from January 7 through January 21, 2010.
The resulting painting, sculpture and mixed media vary in style and form, yet have unifying theme of color which creates a harmonious scene that bursts with variety and energy. The artists bring their own skill set and aesthetic to their work, so the effects range from calming to provocative to thrilling. The full spectrum of white is represented, so the exhibition does not feel monochromatic or one-dimensional, but rather rich, textured and layered. Among the eight artists was Francine Tint whose work is a beautiful and subdued painting.

Slip Sliding 2009
‘Natural Abstraction’ opened November 28, 2009 and will run through February 14, 2010.
Seldom does a viewer see what a painter sees. Writers about art often turn to other artists and schools to categorize the art they are looking at, or second-guess what they perceive to be emotional or psychological messages subliminally secreted in the works, or draw from their own experience to “complete” the paintings, that is, participate in the imaginative world from which the art comes. These approaches are often interesting and insightful, giving readers interpretations and guidelines for their own viewing. Frances Thomas’ work, however, I think demands just persistent looking, a means of permitting the paint and colour of her works to accumulate and separate into new experiences.
