Fynn Ribbeck – About Cricket graves and scary dolls

Düsseldorf Art Academy: Today I’m visiting Fynn Ribbeck, my personal discovery from this year‘s academy tour. Since 2016 he’s been in Marcel Odenbach’s class, he previously studied with Rebecca Warren for two years. He plans to graduate at the end of next year. During the tour a kind of shrine cast a spell over me and wouldn’t let me go. I wanted to meet the artist responsible for this unusual sculpture ...

Helmut Schweizer – An energetic test field
Sunday, 21 May 2017
by tom-admin
Today I am visiting the concept, action, and installation artist Helmut Schweizer. In his search for cross-border boundaries in art, influenced by the art discourse of the 1970s, his work finds its aesthetic realisation in a wide range of different media and materials. The works of the documenta IX participant are regularly displayed in museums and are part of many international collections. His installations in particular awakened my curiosity, which were more reminiscent of scientific laboratories than situations in art exhibitions ...

Berlin. In the district Pankow I visit the young artist Fabian Seyd. Seyd, whose work primarily comprises painting, as well as sculptures and installations, was able to book his first museum solo exhibitions in the last two years. A significant step! If an artist succeeds in the museum, this is regarded as a qualified acknowledgment of the artistic achievement. The art is "ennobled", its value increases, the career of those involved takes its course. I would like to learn more about his works, as well as more about his artistic career.
I’m supposed to drive to the petrol station, then take a U-turn to the other side of the road and then drive to the “ugliest high-rise” I see. Then I’m in the right place. Really! Truly ugly! But at least identifiable as an artist's house because of the graffiti ...

Jonathan Meese – POWER TO ART!

Berlin, 3. Februar 2017: Nur schemenhaft nehme ich den Gebäudekomplex des stillgelegten Wasserpumpwerks Prenzlauer Berg wahr. Zu sehr bin ich damit beschäftigt, die Sprechanlage zu hypnotisieren, nachdem ich – einmal tief durchatmend – den Klingelknopf gedrückt habe. Das fröhliche: „Hallo. Kommt rein!“, lässt mich aufatmen. Das Tor wird elektrisch geöffnet ...
