Studio pet

P.P. doesn´t have a clue about the frequent appearance of butterflies in her life. Very mysterious! This is Schmetti, the studio pet of the Queen, trying to get through the window. Schmetti has spent the winter in P.P.s royal chambers. Now Schmetti is getting a little weak despite all effords to feed him or her. The peacock butterfly is sleeping almost all day long, only sometimes taking a sip of mineral water with sugar...

P.P. now single mother!

Falti

Three days ago P.P.Queen became a mother of sweet little Falti. One day she found a little green caterpillar in her broccoli, P.P. was curious what kind of creature this green thing might become.

This is how Falti looked like as a caterpillar (Photo by Walter Mueller)

So she put it in a jar together with some of the broccoli and two days later and after the caterpillar began to cocoon, green caterpillar was a black something. The Queen was wating and waiting and after about two weeks Falti came to see the light of day.

Here you can see Falti after his birth with his cocoon. P.P. thinks that she now might be the proud mother of an Autograph gamma moth. Right now Falti is sitting in the Queens bedroom waiting for springtime to get some good sweet nectar. In the meantime she is trying to find the right food for little Mothyboy.

Stefan Häfner

Details of Stefan Häfners Works

The art of Stefan Häfner makes P.P.Queen happy ever after. "Stefan Häfner specializes in visionary architecture which he designs and builds in model form. He designs cities for the future, whole organisms which are built compactly and dense using minimum space. He wanders through his own city - Frankfurt am Main, closely studying the buildings, the high rise modern glass facades of the ever developing Main Metropol, photographing the forms and taking note of the aesthetics, function and social aspects, he takes an interest in the truly modern design. Through precise research he develops his own ideas in his head, rarely making sketches , the concept is not just for the exterior but makes detailed interiors which includes alarm systems, fire extinguishers, heaters, tables, chairs, first aid kits, shops, discos, cinemas, workshops and parking places. Häfner has developed his own building techniques, using strong carton ,which is both light and structurally sound, building level for level, a multifunctional and futuristic utopia."
Häfner is working at
Atelier Goldstein
in Frankfurt, Germany

flat1

Flat1 is an exhibition space run by three artists Karin Maria Pfeifer, Sula Zimmerberger and Maria Hanl, it is located in Viennas 4th district . "flat1 ist ein Kunstraum in der Schikanedergasse 2 im vierten Bezirk, der seit Januar 2009 - zeitgleich mit den Schleifmühlgasse-Eröffnungen - wechselnde, thematische Gruppenausstellungen mit in der Regel 3-5 KünstlerInnen zeigt. Der Schwerpunkt von flat1 liegt in der Präsentation zeitgenössischer bildender Kunst. Interdisziplinäres in Richtung Musik, Film, Performances bildet das Rahmenprogramm, dessen Ausweitung sich in Arbeit befindet. Hauptanliegen von flat1 ist die Förderung des Austauschs zwischen inter/nationalen KünstlerInnen mit thematisch und/oder formal ähnlichen Ansätzen, deren Wege sich in ihrem separierten Schaffensalltag vermutlich nie gekreuzt hätten. Im unabhängig organisierten Umfeld von flat1 haben sie nun Gelegenheit zu kontinuierlicher Kommunikation und zur Erweiterung ihrer Netzwerke."
The current exhibition
"... und sie verliefen sich im wald" with works of Markus Bacher, Robert Gfader, Ulrike Königshofer, Stefan Malicky, Gerald Naderer, Lila Rock is on show until march 5, opening hours every thursday 6 to 9pm

Rubin Hirschbeck, NACH DER VERLORENEN ZEIT / after the lost time, 180X150cm, oil- cotton, 2008

Another case of Art Censorship and Prohibition has occured in Germany. The Artist Rubin Hirschbeck was not allowed to show some of his works in his current exhibition in Fürth, near Nürnberg. The two works above are among the banned artworks. What a shame in the 21st Century!

Philip Kwame Apagya

Philip Kwame Apagya"White house" (1998)
Chromogenic photograph 94 1/2 X 106 1/4 inches
240 X 270 cm

In 2009 Apagya´s "White House" Photography from 1998 gets a new meaning.

(Unfortunately I haven´t found a larger image.)

The Artist was born in 1958, in Sekondi, Ghana.

After working in his father's photography studio, Apagya received a degree in Photojournalism and opened his own studio, P.K.'s Normal Photo Studio. His portraits of Africans are made in front of painted backgrounds displaying highly commercial and Western scenes.
