"Vogel futtern dringend erwunscht"
"Bird feeding strongly encouraged"
In Stammelbachspeicher Sean Connaughty protects the Environment and Elfie Dollichon the value of colors
by Andre Mumot
picture subtitle:
He pleaded for reconciliation: If it goes to Sean Connaughty, then you look at the "Bird Feeders" and wait for bird to feed directly from the ceramic face, pecking.

Hildesheim,
"Only I know what it means," says Sean Connaughty and refers to a series of small photos, particularly in motion. "But I hope that for the viewer, subconsciously, the importance becomes clear."
Finally, it is by no less than The World History. " The History of the Earth "is one of the projects, which is now in the gallery in Stammelbach speicher shown. The Great Global reflected in miniature, in what an individual passes the eternal loss of life saves.
A goldmine of personal things and observations on small photo gehaltenund in archive boxes stored. Images of One pill glasses, insect, trousers and trees, cars and raised here, faces a bit of heaven, there a little bit country. "A personal archaeology" as he says
And this artwork in the middle of the exhibition is only part of the work that the highly evolved, very friendly artist came from Minneapolis, where he is at the College of Art and Design. He has his works in New York, in Miami and in Tel Aviv. He has also participated in a group exhibition in Amsterdam, but its core Europe debut as a soloist is now also in Hildesheim.
State has come through student exchanges between the HAWK and the College in Minneapolis, and the result is for the gallery in Stammelbbachspeicher really something quite unusual. One might find it typical American or not: In any case, that the art of Sean Connaughty almost universchamt specific. She is concerned with communication, it says clearly what he thinks.
.Above all, "The Garden Project": In the 50s, has a pesticide manufacturer pollute the soil, which is still the home of the artist. The Environmental Protection Agency now has replacedt the contaminated soil and ordered a 100-year-old garden removed.
From panic and sentimentality is taken to Connaughty forfeited by each plant to save a copy. He has the bloodlines between Blatter and paper pressed and dried, some of them with Ol reprinted, Etchings produced and the seeds salvaged, which he then later in the renewed soil planted. Video projections show the idyll and their destruction, and the traumatic moment, the demolition.
All this is what it is: Alernativer environment in the environment. But you're looking for the irony and find it not. Not einmalin the gespenstischen ceramic masks, in the gallery as hangen grimaces and the cult but a very simple purpose. . In their mouths vorgestulpten it is bird feed.
You can see some of these "Bird Feeders" actually up, and if we keep silent, birds actually come to pick the food directly from the face. "However," admits Connaughty, both must become accustomed to the arrangement. The human and avian. "
What seems at first something scary, is actually intended as reconciliation: "I want to build a bridge between nature and man" says the man from Minneapolis. And we must also remove him. He wants a wound healer, a therapist, a communication between instances, which is alien and hostile to. And he chooses the most direct route, which is verbluffened while irritating naive.
And so completely different than anything in the lower floor of the gallery to see / Here hang the abstractions of artist Elfie Dollichon, and some bear Titelwie Terra Antiqua "
"Wustensaum "or distance-haze" That was as brown and red and blue and green in the opposite radiates, That was as brown and red and blue and green in the opposite radiates, seems to be something with nature to do that surrounds us.
Also keep this art something that saves and gives something back, but it is not an environmental protection program. It is to have schematically to remain old, intellectual Europe. "The colours are the life," Elfie Dollichon says, and their images are subtle sin games, their Lebenskrafte in massive, gespachtelten relate to each other, and in descending arc - and carefully formalized control.
Her schlicten three dimensionallen objects she painted - in Black "because I have a color," she stressed. Voer all but their abstract paintings are strong, they are powerful and about spiritualizes and material bezogen at the same time.
It will also double in this last exhibition in the gallery in Stimmelbachspeicher before sommerpause held back and forth between the hergeworfen prompt. To feed birds, and the selbstgenugsamen invitation, the traces of the call. To feed birds, and the selbstgenugsamen invitation, the traces of life in a red ink bottle, the result of a severe blue line fault. Two artists, two continents.

Die Ausstellungen in der Galerie in Stammelbachspeicher sind bis zum 13 Juli juweilssonnabends und sonntags von 11 bis 18 Uhr in der Wachsmuthstrasse 20/21 zu besichtigen.
