\\u201ccity is full of street markets. from small single standing newspaper and cigarettes stands, to large ecosystems of intertwined pathways of shops. only at night, when sellers wrap and fold their fake Guccis and floral table covers, cold and raw display structures, made from urban architecture leftovers and scrap metal, remain and show their naked form. handmade displays for goods seem ephemeral at first but somehow they manage to stand their ground for long periods of time. they stand as an armor or as a shelter for their owners and for their goods. raw practicality is their starting point but over the time they get more and more domesticated. they take treats of their owners and tell their stories through occasional outbursts of kitch and decor. displays are products of disfunctional class system. they embody constant underlying fight for survival, which blends in urban landscape and remains hardly visible for outsiders eye.\\u201d (Statement by the Artists on their

In 2008 &#8211; 2009 he was visiting professor at the University of Fine Arts, Nuremberg. In his sculptures and expansive installations, Bergmann deals with existential questions, with the observation of the individual and social living space, with everyday actions and encounters. In doing so, he plays with elements of the absurd, with shifts in reality or irritations, thus breaking up familiar patterns of perception and ideas, as well as questioning conventional approaches.<br>His works often have a performative character and float between real and artificial worlds. Often they allow familiar objects and materials to be recognized or remind us of everyday situations. But these observations prove to be open, remain mysterious fragments, pose new questions.

After her studies, she lived in Switzerland before moving to Germany in 1985. After her expressive early work made in the sphere of the Neue Wilde, Ikemura became internationally known through her images of cosmic landscapes and fairy tale-esque hybrid creatures which increasingly found expression also in sculpture. Themes in her images include areas of conflict between people and nature, consciousness and sub-consciousness, and foreign countries and homeland. A consistent examination of western art and that of her home country has led Ikemura to find a unique synthesis of both cultures.

Human DNA&#8221; is described by Lehmann as follows: &#8220;The double helix of DNA is two strands that are always intertwined, always in the same proximity as well as the same distance from each other. An order structured by nature, which can, however, also be tangled.<br\\\/>&#8220;Tangled tangles&#8221; is meant to symbolise this complex whirlpool of life. The lianas echo the construct of a double helix. The strands also take up the unfathomable question of our origin, our humanity. Whether scientifically based or merely a question to ourselves about who we are and where we come from.<br\\\/>According to biological systematics, humans belong to the ape family. This connection moved me to take two chimpanzees as a symbol for ourselves. In the whirlpool of life, tangles can be &#8220;untangled&#8221; in the community, or new knots can be woven to clarify the question of our self. The chimpanzees can also make us think of the coexistence of two parts that live in each of us. The natural, fixed part -our DNA- and the free, intangible part -our spirit- which form us individually through inner and outer influences in life. These two are closely connected, but often both work for themselves.<br\\\/>It is a stream of tangled unravelling.&#8221;<br\\\/><br\\\/>\\u00a0<\\\/p>\\n\\n<p><\\\/p>\\n\\n<p>Photo: Lara Mali Lehmann<\\\/p>\\n\",\"artist\":\"Lara Mali Lehmann\",\"image\":\"https:\\\/\\\/stoa169.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2021\\\/04\\\/Lehmann-portait-\\u00a9-Lara-Mali-Lehmann.jpg\",\"link\":\"https:\\\/\\\/stoa169.com\\\/en\\\/stoa\\\/lara-mali-lehmann\\\/\"}'>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                              <div class=\"position-relative\">\n          <div class=\"carousel-el\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/stoa169.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Loginov_19_black004.jpg');\" data-carousel='{\"title\":\"Andrei Loginov\",\"text\":\"\\n<p>*&nbsp;1974 in Minsk, Belarus<br>lives in Berlin, Germany<\\\/p>\\n\\n\\n\\n<p>Andrei Loginov studied at the Minsk Art Lyceum and at the Duesseldorf Art Academy under Gerhard Merz and Magdalena Jetelov\\u00e1. He worked with numerous different artistic media before finally turning to photographic projects.<br>The works of his recent series \\u201aBiosynthetic\\u2018 may well be coined &#8220;experimental hybrids&#8221;. The lightboxes combine object art and 3D-photography. They display single sculptural forms either created by the artist or &#8220;produced&#8221; by bees. These floating objects or \\u201cPrototypes\\u201d refer to the constructivist principles and &#8220;Projects of new Art&#8221; (prouns) developed by the suprematist and architect El Lissitzky. Andrej Loginov reacts to this impulse, but his essential inspiration derives from electronic music. Its immediate impact resonates from acoustic waves creating a flow of, as Loginov describes it, pure sensations unimpeded by thought. Loginov combines sculpture and photography creating a new dimension of &#8220;photogenetic sculpture&#8221; transgressing dimensions of material, movement and sensuality as he translates the dimensions of material, movement and perception into the state of transition, a state escaping a clear definition. <\\\/p>\\n\\n\\n\\n<p><a href=\\\"http:\\\/\\\/www.andreiloginov.com\\\">www.andreiloginov.com<\\\/a><\\\/p>\\n\\n\\n\\n<p>Photo \\u00a9 Palina Loginova<\\\/p>\\n\",\"artist\":\"\",\"image\":\"https:\\\/\\\/stoa169.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2019\\\/10\\\/Loginov-portrait-Palina-Loginova.jpg\",\"link\":\"https:\\\/\\\/stoa169.com\\\/en\\\/stoa\\\/andrei-loginov\\\/\"}'>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                              <div class=\"position-relative\">\n          <div class=\"carousel-el\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/stoa169.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Hernandez-entwurf-1.jpg');\" data-carousel='{\"title\":\"Diango Hern\\u00e1ndez\",\"text\":\"\\n<p>*1970 in Sancti Spiritus, Cuba\\nlives in D\\u00fcsseldorf; Germany<\\\/p>\\n\\n\\n\\n<p>Diango Hern\\u00e1ndez studied industrial design in Havana in the early 1990s.

Namislow&#8217;s visual language has its origins in street art, especially in graffiti art. The spectrum of his pictorial expression is correspondingly extensive. A frequently recurring stylistic device is the outline, which refers not least to his intensive engagement with the history and language of comics. Namislow does not limit himself in his painting, but develops it further and further and quite naturally unites the abstract with the figurative as well as the ornamental with the representational. In his search for new inventions, Namislow&#8217;s joy in experimentation knows hardly any limits. New worlds, fantastic stories and seemingly alien languages of form open up to the viewer.

Abraham was the chief landscape architect of the city of Tel Aviv from the early \\u201840s to the late \\u201860s.<br\\\/><br\\\/>Karavan began studying painting in Tel Aviv at the age of 14 at the Streichman-Steimazky studio, continued with Marcel Janco (1946) and later with Mordechai Ardon in Jerusalem (1949). Karavan was a painter at Kibbutz Harel, of which he was a founding member in 1948. In 1956 he traveled to Florence to study Fresco painting at the\\u00a0Accademia delle Belle Arti\\u00a0and later to Paris to study at the\\u00a0Acad\\u00e9mie de la Grande Chaumi\\u00e8re.<br\\\/><br\\\/>From the early sixties, Karavan designed stage sets for theatre, dance and opera and worked with the Bat Sheva Dance Company, Martha Graham and Gian Carlo Menotti among others. At the same time, he created a stone bas-relief in the assembly hall of the Knesset in Jerusalem (Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem, 1965-1966) and his first site specific environmental sculpture \\u2013 the\\u00a0Negev Monument\\u00a0(Be\\u2019er Sheva, Israel 1963-1968), which became a landmark in Environmental Art.<br\\\/><br\\\/>In 1976 Karavan represented Israel in the Biennale of Venice and a year later he was invited to participate at the Documenta 6 in Kassel. Since then, he has been commissioned to create environmental sculptures in Israel, France, Germany, United States, Korea, Taiwan and Japan to name a few. Some of his most celebrated works include Axe Majeur (1980-ongoing, Cergy Pontoise, France), Passages \\u2013 Homage to Walter Benjamin (1990-1994, Portbou, Spain), Murou Art Forest (1998-2006, Murou, Japan), Memorial to the Sinti-Roma (1999-2012, Berlin Germany), Square of Culture (2005-2012, Tel Aviv, Israel) and White Square (1977-1988, Tel Aviv, Israel). He has exhibited in numerous museums around the world and is a recipient of prestigious international awards, such as the Israel Prize (1977); Silver Medal for Plastic Arts of the French Academy of Architecture (1992); Goslar Kaiser Ring for Visual Art, Germany (1996); the first Unesco\\u2019s Artist of Peace (1996); Praemium Imperiale \\u2013 the Nobel Prize for the Arts, Japan (1998); the Goethe Medal, Germany (1999); Premio Michelangelo, Carrara, Italy (2005); Knight of the French \\u201cL\\u00e9gion d\\u2019Honneur\\u201d (2014) among others.<\\\/p>\\n\\n<p>Photo \\u00a9 Tamar Karavan<\\\/p>\\n\\n<p><a href=\\\"http:\\\/\\\/%C2%A9Tamar%20Karavan\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noreferrer noopener\\\">www.danikaravan.com\\u00a0<\\\/a><\\\/p>\\n\",\"artist\":\"Dani Karavan\",\"image\":\"https:\\\/\\\/stoa169.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2020\\\/05\\\/Portrait_Dani_copyright-Tamar-Karavan.jpg\",\"link\":\"https:\\\/\\\/stoa169.com\\\/en\\\/stoa\\\/dani-karavan\\\/\"}'>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                              <div class=\"position-relative\">\n          <div class=\"carousel-el\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/stoa169.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Man_Entwurf-2_20190129-1.jpg');\" data-carousel='{\"title\":\"Daniel Man\",\"text\":\"\\n<p class=\\\"has-normal-font-size\\\">&amp; Blaster, Cras, Disko, Dreck, Ekser, Kope, Loomit, Prost, Satis, Scout, Uprok, Won, Zeus <br>   <\\\/p>\\n\\n\\n\\n<p><br>*\\u00a01969 in London, Great Britain, lives in Affing near Munich, Germany<\\\/p>\\n\\n\\n\\n<p>Daniel Man grew up in Hong Kong and Germany.

She questions the reliability of physical laws, addresses the relationship between space and time &#8211; as well as psychic principles by experiencing folding as a kind of post-traumatic compression of time. In contrast to her formally close minimalism, any traces of production are often deliberately left standing, allowing the authorship, origin and history of the work and material to be perceived.

An alumnus of the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts, Vopava initially embraced figurative references in the 1980s, only to develop atmospheric abstract painting from the 1990s onwards. His paintings are characterised by a confrontation with light and colour and defined by black and dark surfaces which, placed side by side, in a layered arrangement or overlapping, enter into a relationship with bright colors, often in green or magenta tones. In an interplay of tension between light, colour and space, complex picture compositions and atmospheric depths are created. <\\\/p>\\n\\n\\n\\n<p><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Photo \\u00a9 Bernd Zimmer<br><br><\\\/p>\\n\\n\\n\\n<figure class=\\\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\\\"><div style=\\\"display: contents;\\\" >\\n\\n<div data-mode=\\\"normal\\\" data-oembed=\\\"1\\\" data-provider=\\\"youtube\\\" id=\\\"arve-youtube-jncxox9ga8m\\\" class=\\\"arve\\\">\\n\\t<div class=\\\"arve-inner\\\">\\n\\t\\t<div class=\\\"arve-embed arve-embed--has-aspect-ratio\\\">\\n\\t\\t\\t<div class=\\\"arve-ar\\\" style=\\\"padding-top:56.250000%\\\"><\\\/div>\\n\\t\\t\\t<iframe allow=\\\"accelerometer &apos;none&apos;;autoplay &apos;none&apos;;bluetooth &apos;none&apos;;browsing-topics &apos;none&apos;;camera &apos;none&apos;;clipboard-read &apos;none&apos;;clipboard-write;display-capture &apos;none&apos;;encrypted-media &apos;none&apos;;gamepad &apos;none&apos;;geolocation &apos;none&apos;;gyroscope &apos;none&apos;;hid &apos;none&apos;;identity-credentials-get &apos;none&apos;;idle-detection &apos;none&apos;;keyboard-map &apos;none&apos;;local-fonts;magnetometer &apos;none&apos;;microphone &apos;none&apos;;midi &apos;none&apos;;otp-credentials &apos;none&apos;;payment &apos;none&apos;;picture-in-picture;publickey-credentials-create &apos;none&apos;;publickey-credentials-get &apos;none&apos;;screen-wake-lock &apos;none&apos;;serial &apos;none&apos;;summarizer &apos;none&apos;;sync-xhr;usb &apos;none&apos;;web-share;window-management &apos;none&apos;;xr-spatial-tracking &apos;none&apos;;\\\" allowfullscreen=\\\"\\\" class=\\\"arve-iframe fitvidsignore\\\" credentialless data-arve=\\\"arve-youtube-jncxox9ga8m\\\" data-lenis-prevent=\\\"\\\" data-src-no-ap=\\\"https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/embed\\\/JNcxox9GA8M?feature=oembed&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;autoplay=0\\\" frameborder=\\\"0\\\" height=\\\"0\\\" loading=\\\"lazy\\\" name=\\\"\\\" referrerpolicy=\\\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\\\" sandbox=\\\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-presentation allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\\\" scrolling=\\\"no\\\" src=\\\"https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/embed\\\/JNcxox9GA8M?feature=oembed&#038;iv_load_policy=3&#038;modestbranding=1&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autoplay=0\\\" title=\\\"\\\" width=\\\"0\\\"><\\\/iframe>\\n\\t\\t\\t\\n\\t\\t<\\\/div>\\n\\t\\t\\n\\t<\\\/div>\\n\\t\\n\\t\\n\\t<script type=\\\"application\\\/ld+json\\\">{\\\"@context\\\":\\\"http:\\\\\\\/\\\\\\\/schema.org\\\\\\\/\\\",\\\"@id\\\":\\\"https:\\\\\\\/\\\\\\\/stoa169.com\\\\\\\/en\\\\\\\/home\\\\\\\/#arve-youtube-jncxox9ga8m\\\",\\\"type\\\":\\\"VideoObject\\\",\\\"embedURL\\\":\\\"https:\\\\\\\/\\\\\\\/www.youtube.com\\\\\\\/embed\\\\\\\/JNcxox9GA8M?feature=oembed&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&autohide=1&playsinline=0&autoplay=0\\\"}<\\\/script>\\n\\t\\n<\\\/div>\\n<\\\/div><\\\/figure>\\n\",\"artist\":\"\",\"image\":\"https:\\\/\\\/stoa169.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2019\\\/08\\\/Vopava-e1565864107347.jpg\",\"link\":\"https:\\\/\\\/stoa169.com\\\/en\\\/stoa\\\/walter-vopava\\\/\"}'>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                              <div class=\"position-relative\">\n          <div class=\"carousel-el\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/stoa169.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Talavera.jpg');\" data-carousel='{\"title\":\"Fefe Talavera\",\"text\":\"\\n<p>* 1979 in S\\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil<br\\\/>lives in S\\u00e3o Paulo<\\\/p>\\n\\n<p>Fefe Talavera, went through regular artistic learning at FAAP (Armando Alvares Penteado Foundation) in S.o Paulo, although she developed her style rather while working in the streets.

If she were not the daughter of Mexicans, dragons and winged monsters would pervade her world of ideas, perhaps from some primitive ritual.

His artistic work combines conceptual approaches with deep connections to traditional, local customs and practices the he is able to translate and reformulate by way of critical, poetic, and conceptual frameworks, that reflect the challenges of a rapidly changing society. But the main theme of these works is the search for a new spirituality that addresses the vulnerability of nature in the face of environmental pollution and global warming. In 2007, Amankul also founded B\\u2019Art Contemporary, one of the very first contemporary art institutions in Kyrgyzstan, to enkindle and promote a critical dialogue between the communities of Central Asia and the global art world. To continue his itinerant art practice and cultural research, in 2011 he started a series of nomadic art projects in Kyrgyzstan, which continue to this day. The critical ingredient is using the traditional nomadic way of life as a source of inspiration for conceptual contemporary and globally relevant art practice.  <\\\/p>\\n\\n<p><a href=\\\"http:\\\/\\\/www.bishkekart.kg\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noreferrer noopener\\\" aria-label=\\\"www.bishkekart.kg (&#xF6;ffnet in neuem Tab)\\\">www.bishkekart.kg\\u00a0<\\\/a><\\\/p>\\n\\n<p>Foto \\u00a9 B&#8217; Art Contemporary<\\\/p>\\n\",\"artist\":\"\",\"image\":\"https:\\\/\\\/stoa169.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2019\\\/08\\\/Shaarbek-Amankul-e1565622253569.jpg\",\"link\":\"https:\\\/\\\/stoa169.com\\\/en\\\/stoa\\\/shaarbek-amankul\\\/\"}'>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                              <div class=\"position-relative\">\n          <div class=\"carousel-el\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/stoa169.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/nepal.jpg');\" data-carousel='{\"title\":\"NEPAL ACADEMY OF FINE ARTS\\\/ SIRJANA COLLEGE OF FINE ARTS, Kathmandu, Nepal\",\"text\":\"\\n<h2 class=\\\"wp-block-heading\\\">2024<br\\\/><br\\\/><br\\\/>Lalkaji Lama, Saurganga Darshandhari, Samjhana Rajbhandari, Sanish Kumar Shakya<\\\/h2>\\n\\n<p>\\u00a0<\\\/p>\\n\\n<p>Four artists from Kathmandu\\\/Nepal invited by the STOA169 Foundation have come together for a joint project that deals with the complex issue of climate change.<br\\\/><br\\\/>Their joint work for touches on themes such as traditional rituals, migration and the visibility of the latest technological developments, but also addresses positive and negative aspects of climate change.

In her paintings, she combined the traditional imagery of the Great Sandy Desert with the vibrant colours of the saltwater landscape she inhabited.<\\\/p>\\n\\n<p><a href=\\\"https:\\\/\\\/www.shortstgallery.com.au\\\/artists\\\/60-margaret-baragurra\\\/works\\\/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noreferrer noopener\\\" aria-label=\\\"www.shortstgallery.com.au (&#xF6;ffnet in neuem Tab)\\\">www.shortstgallery.com.au\\u00a0<\\\/a><\\\/p>\\n\\n<p> Photo \\u00a9 Short St Gallery, Broome, WA<\\\/p>\\n\",\"artist\":\"Margaret Baragurra\",\"image\":\"https:\\\/\\\/stoa169.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2019\\\/11\\\/Courtesy-of-Short-St-Gallery-Broome-WA\\u2019-e1574241877394.jpg\",\"link\":\"https:\\\/\\\/stoa169.com\\\/en\\\/stoa\\\/margaret-baragurra\\\/\"}'>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                              <div class=\"position-relative\">\n          <div class=\"carousel-el\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/stoa169.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Bernstein.jpg');\" data-carousel='{\"title\":\"Judith Bernstein\",\"text\":\"\\n<p>* 1942 in Newark, New Jersey, USA ; lives in New York<\\\/p>\\n\\n\\n\\n<p>For over fifty years, Judith Bernstein has developed a \\u00a0reputation as one of her generation\\u2019s most seminal and provocative artists, connecting the political and sexual.

Zoderer&#8217;s work includes installations, sculptures, wall objects, paper projects and collages. His art takes its source from material far removed from art, which he obtains from DIY stores or stationery shops. Beat Zoderer&#8217;s work alternates between surface and object, sculpture and installation. Everyday materials such as PVC, structural panels, rubber bands, metal ties, office supplies, parquet flooring, or chipboard are used to create geometric two and three dimensional arrangements that extend into a space. He has received various prizes and awards, such as the Manor Art Prize of the Canton of Aargau in 1995; the Recognition Prize of the Max Bill and Georges Vantongerloo Foundation, Zurich in 1998; and, in 2018, the Willy-Reber Art Prize.

Whilst initially representational, his work developed progressively towards abstraction. Alongside painting, Frommelt has, since the 1950s, been intensively addressing the issue of integrating art into architecture and public space, all the while connecting historical epochs with contemporary architectural discourse. Amongst other things, he has dedicated himself to the colour design of entire building complexes and fa\\u00e7ades, has produced stained glass windows and mosaics, and has also created numerous sculptures and enamel works.  From the 1970s onwards, he has also increasingly pursued printmaking with its opportunities for serial imagery and visual narratives. In this context he created elaborate graphical series and scholarly portfolios. In 1970 he published his first print work \\u201cThe Apocalypse after Johannes\\u201d, a serial work (color woodcut) on the theme of transcendence. The second major graphic cycle, \\u201cV\\u00e4htreb-Viehtrieb\\u201d (1974-1986), is a rotogravure narrative about the meagre lives of pastoralists. 1989-1999 Frommelt created the etching cycle \\u201cCREATION \\u2013 Five Constellations on Creation\\u201d, a comprehensive panopticon of the artistic manifestations of the natural environment and visual structures in cosmology.

They both studied in Munich and have been living and working in Mexico since 2014. Sculpture and painting each speak their own language, and so far the two artists have pursued their own projects. For the project STOA they were invited to work together for the first time.<br\\\/>With their art, Lorena Herrera Rashid and Endy Hupperich take a critical look at the phenomena that we experience every day and that surround us: at the mass and uniformity in all areas, the bringing into line and flattening of the media, the overload of signs, the increase in artificiality, the unrestrained consumption and waste, global marketing, the loss of concentration, religiosity and substitute religions &#8211; and at the nostalgia facing everything that is disappearing ever faster. The different places and cultural spaces of their biographies play a central role in the linguistic and visual exchange between the two artists. Neither Herrera Rashid nor Hupperich simply take this world for granted. They do not escape it in illusions and dream worlds, but consciously look at it and question it again and again. Disrespectfully, but never aggressively or destructively, they take it apart, but rather work on it playfully. They turn to spent motives and have sympathy for broken characters. In their artistic practice, there are no limits, no fixations, no boundaries between high and low, between high art and trash, between the very big picture and the fragmentary shreds. The world is an overflowing, constantly changing, never perfect unity. Its bulky, unpleasant and unwieldy sides cannot be fought. They can only be accepted in a peaceful, playful way &#8211; to preserve their great diversity.<\\\/p><\\\/p>\\n\",\"artist\":\"\",\"image\":\"https:\\\/\\\/stoa169.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2020\\\/05\\\/Lorena-Endy_20200310_122927-Kopie.jpg\",\"link\":\"https:\\\/\\\/stoa169.com\\\/en\\\/stoa\\\/lorena-herrera-rashid-endy-hupperich\\\/\"}'>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                                      <div class=\"position-relative\">\n          <div class=\"carousel-el\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/stoa169.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG-20191029-WA0005.jpg');\" data-carousel='{\"title\":\"Justine Gaga\",\"text\":\"\\n<p>* 1974 in Douala, Cameroon <br>lives in Douala, Cameroon<\\\/p>\\n\\n\\n\\n<p>Justine Gaga works interdisciplinary with different media, ranging from sculpture and installation to painting, performance and video.

His artistic work uses, as a starting point and a reference, the everyday of India and its socio-economic changes, and translates these specifics into a universal language. Correspondingly, for his extensive installations and large-format sculptures, Gupta frequently utilises everyday objects, e.g. stainless steel cutlery, which reach through societal layers to connect the everyday realities of the city with those of India&#8217;s rural population. Reflected in the artistic accumulation of these banal commodities are the economic transformation of his homeland and also the contradictions within Indian society between traditional values and a staunch desire to modernise. <\\\/p>\\n\\n\\n\\n<blockquote class=\\\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\\\"><p>&#8220;For me, art is about time.

Ocean Sole provides steady income to nearly 100 low-income Kenyans in the company. The concept came from the remote island of Kiwayu, which borders Somalia and the very tip of Northern Kenya. Shocking amounts of marine waste washed up on the shore, particularly on nesting turtle sites and their hatchlings. The rubbish problem then led to imaginative and innovative children turning the waste into toys to play with. When the mothers saw how colourful and fun the upcycled toys looked, they decided to start cleaning and sculpting discarded flip flops into art pieces to sell. Over the years Ocean Sole has evolved from focusing solely on Kenyan communities to impacting an entire ecosystem of traders, collectors, designers and most importantly, employees. In 2017 Ocean Sole shared their story globally and evolved from a for-profit business to a social enterprise.

After studying graphics, he began to work with photography; since 1970 he has been drawing and noting events and objects in his surroundings and re-staging these everyday situations photographically. The central themes of his work, which he treats not only medially but also performatively, are socially standardised gender identities, gender codes and social behaviour. The focus lies on the body, which he often orchestrates in performative and queer role plays involving fetish-like props. He himself describes his work as the &#8220;aestheticisation of the existential&#8221;. His extensive oeuvre includes drawing, photography, video, performance and its documentation. From 1994 to 2008, Klauke was professor at the Academy of Media Arts in Cologne.<\\\/p>\\n\\n<blockquote class=\\\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\\\"><p>&#8220;Art and life, day and night, sex, drugs and rock &#8216;n&#8217; roll, to the point of excess and then working again excessively.

In the juxtaposition of different objects, he refers to the traces of the colonial past, as well as media phenomena and contemporary\\r\\nracism.

The word Artefacts in the title refers to the roots of the artists involved in the graffiti scene. Today, however, they are active without any direct connection to the scene. Like the wooden column, &#8220;Artefacts &amp; Stylite&#8221; is to be seen as a collective body of work. However, this time&#8217;s approach is reminiscent of the attitude to life of the lively scene in the early days of the 1980s, when people used to meet in front of a piece of wall (usually the so-called &#8220;Hall of Fames&#8221;, where many pictures could be seen), paint it together and listen to music while doing so. In the meantime, the subculture graffiti has arrived in high culture as a natural part of contemporary art. We make this bridge-building clear for Stoa169. For the realisation, we all found ourselves in the Pillar Hall for a day.

The workgroup &#8216;Colourmarks&#8217; shows colours and colour combinations that corporations have registered with the German Patent and Trade Mark Office since 1995 in order to distinguish themselves from their competitors. The consumer world has found its way into collective memory through the advertising use of colours. In the open space of art, Asmani appropriates these colours. Detached from names, logos and products, colours remain mysterious and indefinite. The public representation of the occupied colours is a demonstration of their unavailability.\\nThe advertising column project &#8220;Colourmarks (V)&#8221; was shown from July to October 2019 on more than 200 advertising columns in D\\u00fcsseldorf&#8217;s urban space.

His complex work can be characterized by an idiosyncratic philosophical and poetical discourse embracing a great variety of means: painting, sculpture, photography, drawing, and installations composed of industrial and found materials and manufactured objects. By using simple materials that are submitted to constructive processes, Cabrita recycles almost anonymous reminiscences of primordial gestures and actions repeated in everyday life. Centered in questions relative to space and memory, his works gain a suggestive power of association which reach a metaphorical dimension by going beyond the visual.<span class=\\\"Apple-converted-space\\\">\\u00a0<\\\/span><br\\\/><br\\\/>The complex theoretical and formal diversity of the work of Cabrita proceeds from an anthropological reflection, which is contrary to the reductionism of sociological discourse.

From 1971 to 1972 he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. With his performative experiments and installative experimental arrangements, Roman Signer addresses actions and time sequences in space. Materials and objects such as sand, water, wind, tables, chairs or kayaks are deliberately exposed to complex explosive or material-changing events. In addition to the traces left behind by an action, drawings, films and photographs are produced. Signer understands the events and installations as &#8220;time sculptures&#8221;, which are complemented by a 4th dimension. With his innovative approach, he has significantly contributed to the renewal of the concept of sculpture. Among others, Signer has won the Ernst Franz Vogelmann Prize for Sculpture (2008), the Aachener Kunstpreis (2006) and the Kulturpreis Bregenz (1995). <\\\/p>\\n\\n\\n\\n<p><a href=\\\"http:\\\/\\\/www.romansigner.ch\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noreferrer noopener\\\" aria-label=\\\"www.romansigner.ch (\\u00f6ffnet in neuem Tab)\\\">www.romansigner.ch<\\\/a><\\\/p>\\n\\n\\n\\n<p>Photo \\u00a9 Roman Signer<\\\/p>\\n\",\"artist\":\"\",\"image\":\"https:\\\/\\\/stoa169.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2019\\\/10\\\/36-e1571735949871.jpg\",\"link\":\"https:\\\/\\\/stoa169.com\\\/en\\\/stoa\\\/roman-signer\\\/\"}'>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                              <div class=\"position-relative\">\n          <div class=\"carousel-el\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/stoa169.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/lang-Kopie.jpg');\" data-carousel='{\"title\":\"Nikolaus Lang\",\"text\":\"\\n<p>* 1941 in Oberammergau, Germany<br\\\/>\\u2020 2022 in Murnau am Staffelsee, Germany<\\\/p>\\n\\n<p>Nikolaus Lang belonged to the group of so-called \\u201eSpurensicherer\\u201c (trackers).

In 1959, Spoerri founded the edition &#8220;MAT&#8221; in Paris with the intention of inexpensively producing works in series by different artists, including, amongst others, Marcel Duchamp, Heinz Mack and Jean Tinguely. From 1970 to 1972, Spoerri ran the Eat Art Gallery in D\\u00fcsseldorf, where Joseph Beuys, Robert Filliou, Dieter Roth and others exhibited. In 1978, he was appointed to the College of Art and Design in Cologne and taught at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich from 1983 to 1989. Numerous awards have been bestowed upon Spoerri, including the Grand Prix National de la Sculpture (1993), the Silver Commander&#8217;s Cross of Honour for Services to the Federal Province of Lower Austria (2015) and the Lovis Corinth Prize (2016).<\\\/p>\\n\\n\\n\\n<blockquote class=\\\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\\\">\\n<p>&#8220;I wanted to show an excerpt from reality, a piece of the world through objects that tell a story.

After growing up in the South Bronx of NYC near Hemlock Forest, which later became a major inspiration for his art, Sonfist attended Hunter College, where he received a master&#8217;s degree in art. His early work in the 1960s and 1970s helped pioneer the burgeoning movement of site-specific sculpture. Today, he continues to promote sustainable energy and strives to raise awareness for global climate change with his international projects. Recently, Sonfist collaborated with city planners in Pori, Finland and Tampa, Florida to create public spaces that visualize natural landscapes from the past. In addition, he has created a team of specialists to address all of the issues involved in creating a functional ecological landscape that will naturally adapt to their contemporary urban and suburban environments.  <\\\/p>\\n\\n\\n\\n<blockquote class=\\\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\\\"><p>&#8220;The basic idea of my work is always the interaction between human and nature.

With his landscape installations he explores the relationship, cycles, dependencies, structures and connections between man and nature. For his large-format installations, he collects material on site in order to merge it in harmonious relationship with the natural environment, thus allowing them to enter into a dialogue with each other. In addition to his large-scale landscape architecture for indoor and outdoor spaces, Lee&#8217;s work includes paintings, prints, documentary videos, photographs, and curatorial practice. Lee is convinced of the true relationship of objects in the natural world to each other, and that a dialogue with nature, and the physical work found within, leads to a mindfulness of inner consciousness.<\\\/p>\\n\\n\\n\\n<blockquote class=\\\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\\\"><p>&#8220;We sculpted ourselves while sculpting time.\\u201d (Kuei-Chih Lee)&nbsp;<\\\/p><\\\/blockquote>\\n\\n\\n\\n<p><a href=\\\"http:\\\/\\\/www.leekueichih.com\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noreferrer noopener\\\" aria-label=\\\"www.leekueichih.com (\\u00f6ffnet in neuem Tab)\\\">www.leekueichih.com<\\\/a><\\\/p>\\n\\n\\n\\n<p>photo \\u00a9 Kuei-Chih Lee<\\\/p>\\n\\n\\n\\n<figure class=\\\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\\\"><div class=\\\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\\\">\\nhttps:\\\/\\\/youtu.be\\\/8_g1stOUNMw\\n<\\\/div><\\\/figure>\\n\",\"artist\":\"\",\"image\":\"https:\\\/\\\/stoa169.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2019\\\/08\\\/lee-kuei-chih-e1565623994743.jpg\",\"link\":\"https:\\\/\\\/stoa169.com\\\/en\\\/stoa\\\/kuei-chih-lee\\\/\"}'>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                              <div class=\"position-relative\">\n          <div class=\"carousel-el\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/stoa169.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/F05_Huihna_DSC00089-frei.jpg');\" data-carousel='{\"title\":\"Maheatete Huhina\",\"text\":\"\\n<p>* 1978 in Puama\\u2018u on the island of Hiva\\u2018oa, Te Fenua \\u2018Enata (Marquesas Islands), French Polynesia<br>lives and works in Nahoe, Hiva\\u2018oa, French Polynesia<\\\/p>\\n\\n\\n\\n<p>Since his childhood, inspired by his grandfather, sculptor from Puama\\u2018u, Maheatete Teu\\u2018utapu wanted to become a sculptor.

Having lost his studio in Damascus, he found himself looking for new ways to create art and express his feelings about the loss of his home country. Tammam used his understanding of graphic design to create the digital art pieces that would gain him a worldwide recognition. He used images of the destruction in his homeland to create viral images juxtaposing the violence of the Syrian war with masterpieces from the classical European canon, posing questions about the nature of beauty, global inequality and the changing role of the image in the digital age. Works such as Freedom Graffitti was widely shared on Social media and became iconic images of the Syrian revolution.<br\\\/><br\\\/>In 2016 Tammam relocated once again, this time to Germany beginning with a residency at the Institute of Advanced Studies in Delmenhorst.

In 1973 he moved to Berlin, where he studied philosophy and religious studies at the Freie Universit\\u00e4t Berlin. Zimmer began painting in 1976, and he soon met Salom\\u00e9 and Helmut Middendorf, who were studying under the painter Karl Horst H\\u00f6dicke. He worked as a cook in the restaurant Exil from 1976 to 1979, and in 1977, together with Rainer Fetting, Helmut Middendorf, and Salom\\u00e9, he cofounded the Galerie am Moritzplatz, which operated until 1981. In 1984, Zimmer moved into a former monastery property in Polling, where he set up his studio.\\nZimmer took part in numerous exhibitions in Germany and abroad, including the legendary group exhibition \\u201cHeftige Malerei\\u201d in the Berlin\\u2019s Haus am Waldsee (1980) as well as \\u201cRundschau Deutschland I\\u201d in the K\\u00fcnstlerwerkstatt Lothringer Stra\\u00dfe 13, Munich (1981).

These were followed by Zimmer\\u2019s first museum exhibition in 1982\\\/83, held in the Museum Groningen in the Netherlands. The first overview of his woodcuts was held in the Museum Morsbroich in Leverkusen in 2001\\\/02, and his Cosmos paintings were first presented in a large exhibition shown in the Kunsthalle Mannheim in 2006. In 2018\\\/19 the St\\u00e4dtische Galerie Regensburg and the neue galerie museum in Kassel organised a retrospective of his paintings from the last twenty years. In recent years, Zimmer has worked intensively on the realisation of the non-profit STOA169 columned hall.\\nAs a student, Zimmer went on trips lasting several months to distant countries, where he became acquainted with foreign cultures. He travelled to Thailand, Laos, Burma, and Hong Kong in 1972; Mexico and the southern United States in 1975\\\/76; Indonesia (Java, Bali, Lombok, Flores) in 1981; India (for the first time) in 1990; Libya in 1993\\\/94; Polynesia (the Marquesas Islands) in 1995; Beijing and Shanghai on the occasion of his first exhibition in China in 1997; Namibia in 1998; Egypt in 1999; northern Russia and Syria in 2000; China (Urumqi, Yunnan, Guangxi) in 2010; Vietnam and Cambodia in 2011; and Chile in 2013.

In 2006 he established \\u03c0 Animation Studio. As a representative artist for Chinese new media art, he soon received recognition through domestic and international exhibitions and awards. His animation works have been nominated at the Berlinale and Venice International Film Festival (among many others). <\\\/p>\\n\\n<p>Sun Xun\\u2019s visual language consists of dark and intense hand drawings in a metaphoric imagery and dreamlike narrative. In recent years, Sun Xun has used new media technology as a point of origin to explore more possibilities within the expansive realm of visual art: with respect to his animated films he explores narrative methods using diverse mediums such as newspapers, book pages, woodcut print, Chinese ink, pigment powder. Thus he succeeds in receiving non-linear expressions of time and space and inquiring into both realistic and fantastical representations that are based on his own understanding of society and sociological theories. Different levels, such as reality and fantasy or presence and history, are continuously seen in Sun Xun&#8217;s work.<\\\/p>\\n\\n<p>is oeuvre mainly consists of drawing and short animation. Individual cell drawings and other mixed media works are often shown alongside his films. &#8220;21 KE&#8221;, &#8220;Magician&#8217;s Lie&#8221; and &#8220;Requiem&#8221; feature a key protagonist: a magician dressed in a black suit with a high top hat. The magician is in search of another world, probably a utopia. Over the course of this character&#8217;s expedition, the sequences are dreamlike and apocalyptic.

From 1975 to 1980, she studied at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. In her artistic practice, she experimented with the dissolution of the notion of image and worked through the use of phosphorescent colours and coloured light with mirrors. Starting with works on paper and canvas, she had been developing three-dimensional light objects and light-shadow projections since the 1980s.  From this time she has investigated light as a code or carrier of meaning, and with one particular body of work from 1989, she focussed on the speed of light.

Since 2011 he is a university professor at the University of Applied Arts Vienna in the field of graphic and printmaking. In his work, which takes its departure in surrealism, Svenungsson uses a variety of media while focusing his thematic concerns on a few recurring protagonist images such as industrial chimneys, maps, and bloodstains. Since 1992 he has built a series of full scale chimney sculptures in brick, beginning with \\u201cThe First Chimney\\u201d (10 m) at Moderna Museet in Stockholm, which was replicated as a permament commission for the St\\u00e4del Museum in Frankfurt 2013. \\u201cThe Tenth Chimney\\u201d (19 m) was built 2015 in Uppsala, Sweden. The Chimney Sculptures change their surroundings by their presence \\u2013 and become the subject for further photo works, drawings and prints.  Since the late 80s Svenungsson has published a large number of texts and essays on topics relating to art, architecture and music. In 2007 appeared his \\u201cAn Artist\\u2019s Text Book\\u201d, which addresses the the how and why of visual artists who also choose to write. In 2019 was published \\u201cMaking Prints and Thinking About It\\u201d, by DeGruyter\\\/edition angewandte.

The starting point for his artistic interventions are often long walks in which he appropriates the urban environment as a fl\\u00e2neur; existing structures are undermined and selectively altered by objects and sculptures or paintings. In 1991, he held a guest professorship at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich; from 1992-2018, he was professor at the College of Fine Arts in Kassel.

Also, informing her aesthetics are familiar sounds of sweeping, chopping, talking and washing, processes that reflect the transience of human labor and its inevitable mark on the material world.<br\\\/><br\\\/>Nnenna Okore is a Professor of Art at Chicago&#8217;s North Park University, where she oversees the Sculpture area.

According to Cornelieke Lagerwaard, her work can be divided into three work cycles: &#8220;the &#8216;stacks&#8217; of half balls form the series of baskets; the sculptures, which the artist calls &#8216;touches&#8217;, also belong to the group of linear sculptures; and finally the coils: floating bands that rise into space or reach sideways and seem to escape gravity. Her reduced sculptures include various materials such as steel, aluminium, latex, rubber or wood.  <\\\/p>\\n\\n\\n\\n<p><a rel=\\\"noreferrer noopener\\\" aria-label=\\\"www.sigrun-olafsdottir.de
