My trip to Nanjing earlier this month for the occasion of the exhibition "On starting another

 

conversation about comparative feminism”, was despite my long time in China a unique

 

experience.

Pavlosv's dog PIN UP press release!

 

PIN UP ! 


Gruppenausstellung


 
Pin-Ups – Bilder von jungen, hübschen Frauen in mal mehr oder weniger erotischen Posen

 

(selten auch von Männern) wurden heimlich oder zumindest auf der Innenseite von Spinden,

 

Büchern, Schranktüren angebracht. 



Nicht an der Außenseite – nicht für jeden ersichtlich. Diese Bilder vergilben irgendwann,

 

kriegen Eselsohren, fallen ab. Sie werden Opfer der Zeit. Eines Prozesses.



Heute laden wir Bilder von uns in allen möglichen Posen selbst täglich in sozialen Medien

 

hoch. Wir prostituieren uns auf Facebook, Instagram und Pinterest . Wir pinnen „uns“ quasi

 

auf virtuelle Wände. Manchmal wollen wir auch wieder runter. Aber vergeblich. Das Netz

 

vergisst nicht. Im digitalen Langzeitgedächtnis bleibt alles und im digitalen

 

Kurzzeitgedächtnis werden im Sekundentakt neue Bilder ersichtlich. Zeit zum Altern bleibt

 

nicht. Die neue Art von Voyeurismus. Von jedem, für jeden, jederzeit.



Schlussendlich geht es aber allen diesen Bildern um Träume – geheime, sexuelle, verbotene.

Träume lassen sich schlecht nach politisch und gendermäßig korrekten Maßstäben beurteilen.



Pin-Ups verwirklichen diese Träume. Man kann sie nicht zensieren, denn Vorstellungen und

 

Phantasien sind frei – zumindest bis zur Umsetzung.

Vernissage am Donnerstag, den 19. Februar 2015, 19.00 - 21.00 Uhr


Ausstellung: 20. Februar bis 20. März 2015



Group exhibition


 
Pin-Ups – everyone knows these images of young, beautiful women (and sometimes, but

 

rarely men) in more or less erotic poses. These photographs have always been secretly

 

affixed to the inside of lockers, books or wardrobe doors – on the inside of course – not for

 

everyone to see. 



However, after a while, the photographs start to fade, they get dog-ears and eventually they

 

fall off. They fall victim to time – a process that is inevitable. 



In the times of social media we upload photographs of ourselves posing in all kind of ways

 

on a daily basis. We prostitute ourselves on facebook, instagram or pinterest etc. We “pin”

 

ourselves to virtual walls. Sometimes we would like to “un-pin” us – but unsuccessfully so:

 

Because the internet does not forget. Everything remains in the virtual long-term memory

 

whereas the virtual short-term memory is constantly filled with new images every second of

 

every day. There is no time to age, to fade. In this new form of voyeurism everyone looks at

 

everyone and is looked at by everyone all the time.



What all the images have in common though are the desires they represent: secret, sexual,

 

tabooed phantasies and it is hard to judge these dreams by political or gender sensitive

 

criteria.



Pin-ups are the realisation of these desires. One cannot censor them, as dreams and phantasies

 

and thoughts are free – that is until their realisation of course.

Press release "playing with beauty"

RedLine Presents: Playing with Beauty

 

Curated by Mark Sink

 

Press Preview: March 13, 2015 at 11 AM

 

Opening on March 14, 2015

 

Member’s Preview: 6-7 PM

 

Public Reception: 7- 10 PM

 

(DENVER- January 2015) Since 2011 RedLine has served as the nerve center for Denver’s

 

Month of Photography exhibition and is excited to return in this same role in 2015!  Mark

 

Sink will also return to curate this year’s Month of Photography’s signature exhibition,

 

Playing with Beauty. Sink is a curator, artist, photographer, and is the champion of infusing

 

and connecting Denver for two months with the most exciting and innovative work going on

 

in the field of contemporary fine art photography. Playing with Beauty specifically explores

 

how the loaded subject of beauty is now being approached, or “played with”, in photography

 

today.

 

As Sink explains,

 

I have always been interested in the impact beauty has in our lives and culture. Examples of

 

this are in early historical surveys of the romanticized west and continue on to todays’

 

contemporary visions. Through MoP’s signature exhibition, I explore this timeless interest in

 

the human form as well as our culture of celebrity worship. Beauty drives my personal work

 

and life and I am interested how others deal with the subject through the lens. Visitors to

 

Playing with Beauty can anticipate works exploring this subjective and often controversial

 

topic in art; ranging from classical to conceptual, from humorous to dark.

 

 

A long-debated subject in the medium of photography, Sink has curated 25 artists to reveal

 

how beauty is being portrayed, explored and interpreted today.  He has also offered the

 

subject matter of beauty to be explored as a MoP theme (though not mandatory) and many

 

galleries in Denver are participating (e.g. Center for Fine Art Photography, Gildar Gallery,

 

and The Museum of Contemporary Art Denver).

 

Playing with Beauty is a group exhibition and will be on view at RedLine through April 19,

2015.
