GALLERY – twenty four Berlin:Paris:New York: Europe’s premier gallery for autodidactic and undiscovered artists from around the world presents….. Featuring Australian Artists: / “MELB 5” ANDREW MAY JENNY DAVIS TORI SWEDOSH CARLA ROSE KATE MURDOCH June 6th – 19th, 2007 Opening Reception: June 7th, 18:00 – 22:00 An exhibition of five artists living and working in Melbourne, the cultural capital of Australia. Berlin Germany, GALLERY twenty-four, is pleased to announce the upcoming exhibition “Melb 5” as part of its 2007 SALON: Berlin Project. The artists have created works on canvas inspired by the diverse and physically vast nature of the Australian continent. Shifting their influences between the natural and man-made world this collective of Australian artists will offer a rare opportunity to view contemporary Australian painting outside its geographical isolation. These works will demonstrate the unique and fresh aesthetic apparent in a society still emerging after a relatively short history. By contrast the European aesthetic is informed by centuries of social and cultural development. This exhibition aims to raise awareness of painting from the southern hemisphere to a European audience. The predominantly abstract works utilize the language of colour and form to cross boundaries. Painting is reinforced as a medium with an ability to communicate on a universal level regardless of nationality.

    Hi everyone , Below is a small piece of writing I did a few days ago in Paris. / Yes Im still stuck in Paris …........poor me with the nice summer days but soon it will / be back to reality and to the cold Melbourne weather early nights on the electric blanket with the cats The Berlin exhibition finally went ahead after a big stuff up. / The curator lost the plot with the gallery owner and we lost our exhibition space. / Luckily the artists found another exhibition space within a week and we had our opening. / Unfortunetly, I didnt make it to the opening. / With all that was going on I left my bookings for Berlin too late so I was unable to get a flight in time from Paris to Berlin or accomdation because of the G8 summit. / But it all turned out alright in the end . MANY THANKS!!!!!!! to the artists who worked so hard sorting out the mess . Over the years I have written some small pieces in my journals but I have never really shown anyone….............its a little piece connected to some paintings I did a few years ago after receiving letters and photos from a soldier in Iraq ; The correspondence stopped oneday then nothing was heard from him again. / Sometimes I find it a release to get it down in writing instead of in a painting, sculpture or photography etc ; I guess its just another tool I use to express myself / / Letters from the Border The flower rose from the desert floor pushing its way through the dry hard crust, like a white rag flapping its surrender into the dust. Time slowed to a halt for one soldier. He clicked the camera, / an interruption to the vile, nauseating slaughter, he had witnessed earlier that morning . The image arrived penetrating the depths of her soul. / She knew the little desert flower from the border would change the fragility of humanity forever. cheers / Jenny

    In just under 4 hours I’ll be flying out to meet up with Justin at RailsConf EU in Berlin. That’s pretty exciting. After that I’m stopping off in Munich for a few days on my way home. Would you believe there is a festival in Munich while I’m there celebrating two of the most important things in my life – swing dancing and beer. I reckon’ it’s going to be a pretty good week. See you all next Monday. I should probably get to the airport now.

    Zurückbleiben bitte The woman who makes the announcements over the public transport system in Berlin has one of the sexiest voices I’ve heard. German and Dutch have the power to knock me off my feet in most cases anyway: truly the languages of seduction. Although just when I’d announced this to a bemused Dave Spencer (‘you sure about that?’), walking along Mühlenstraße, a shrill shriek rang out behind us enquiring about the latest hockey results, in a voice best described as that of a fishwife. ‘Hmmm, so sexy’ was Dave’s dry reply as we walked into Friedrichshain. I couldn’t really argue. I’ve been riding the U-bahn all over Berlin, listening to Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds and scribbling in my little red notebook. The city always seems in a constant state of regeneration; construction sites and derelict buildings next to shiny department stores and vibrant graffiti. And that’s what I adore most about Berlin, I think: it’s constant ability to renew and recover. You’ve got the shadow of the Nazi regime and the effects of the secret Stasi police still felt by many, but it only seems to encourage an ebullient ‘fuck you, I can do this’ spirit. I’ve always been quite obsessed with the Berlin Wall – I was living in Europe when it fell, and it was a focus of my degree in Germanic languages. I always end up there when I’m in town. Dave took me to the East Side Gallery, a stretch of the Wall covered in murals and running alongside the Spree River. It’s the scene of my favourite Red Bubble photo, but as his camera was stolen (a curse on them and their photos!) pics were taken with my basic camera. This morn I sat on the steps of the Reichstag with a cup of mulled wine, rain falling on my red riding coat as I tried to imagine what had passed there….chronic daydreamer that I am. But I always, always find myself in Bebelplatz. This is the scene of the Nazi book burnings, and I tend to spend hours here. I just heard that on the anniversary of the book burnings, every 10th May, people gather with pillows, candles and books, and read out their favourite passages from those that were burnt. This place haunts me every time I’m in Berlin…..I think I’ll plan my next trip for May. I could live here. I feel that each time I’m here but really, my European passport is burning a hole in my pocket and I long to resuscitate my German. How can you not love a language where the word for curious is made of the words new and greedy put together (neugerig)? How can you not love a city where the coffee cups are as big as soup mugs, where the U-bahn goes all night and the women take your breath away and Nina Hagen calls home? Berlin is magical, and I’m not finished with her yet. Many thanks to Dave for showing me around Friedrichshain bars, leading me to my first ever scharwarma, and only making fun of me twice. Well, three times if you count that man in the violently pink shirt (so, so wrong). Tonight: Iceland! I’ll give the last word to Dave, who shivered and said ‘It’s never good when the fridge is warmer than outside.’ We’ll see.

  • Another Brick From The Wall
    by Peter Davidson

    / Twenty years ago, I listened with dumfounded awe…

    / Twenty years ago, I listened with dumfounded awe to the news that the Berlin Wall may be broken sometime in the next twenty-four hours. This was history in the making and, being only 600 miles away, it was occurring almost on my doorstep. A friend agreed and having nothing better to do, we climbed into my car, caught the dawn channel ferry to Europe and headed East. By dusk we were in the queue to enter East Germany, flanked by a flock of rusty trabants being pushed (in order to save petrol or broken down, I never found out) by their owners towards the waiting and determinedly surly Stasi boarder-guards. A sense of the end of an era, almost defeat, was palpable in their lackluster approach to the bureaucracy. Our passports were examined, stamped and we were waved away to drive the narrow ‘approved’ corridor to West Berlin and warned of the dire consequences if we ever deviated from this road. Sometime after dawn my John awoke me to tell me he wasn’t sure where we were … How we became lost in the East Berlin rush hour, illegal and dangerously low on fuel I have no idea to this day. Half-awake East Berliners gazed at us in curiosity from the street and from the surrounding traffic, within their smoky, mud-coloured trabants at our glaringly Western Japanese car. We nervously smiled as they stared back with studied disinterest. As we traveled along the wrong side of The Wall, we counted the Stasi guards, their guns slung over their shoulders, ever watchful, at hundred yard intervals. There seemed no sign of the impending destruction of the wall, from this side at least. Queues of people shuffled obediently, dully, along the wall. No one smiled. When we found ourselves by chance at the Brandenburg Gate, it was eerily empty of people. Beyond the old battle-scarred monument, I could see a tall TV platform on the other side, it’s crew and camera looking over the wall towards us. There were glimpses of flags being waved. Somehow we had to get to West Berlin before we were arrested or ran out of fuel. Or both. West Berlin seemingly didn’t ‘exist’ – there were no road signs acknowledging it’s existence. (more to follow)
