‚Shine!‘ - installation in @fomuantwerp by @veronika.breuer
‚In this new installation, entitled Shine!, a photograph is projected on a self woven white fabric. The photograph shows two people: a man lying on a bed and an older woman stooping over him. The self woven fabric is 70 cm wide and five metres long. It is woven with cotton and Hungarian hemp on a warp consisting of 700 threads. It is weighed down with hand-made clay shapes made of rusty red clay, collected, dried, sieved, rewatered and formed in Budapest. Again, the photograph seems to become immaterial, transparent even, because you can look at it from both sides of the projection screen.
The installation also contains hanging fabrics bathed in red clay from Budapest and soaked in linseed oil (2,5 x 1,5 metres) and five stools made of ash wood from the Montafon region in Austria. They were designed by Breuer’s uncle Bernhard Breuer and turned by Juergen Tschofen on behalf of Breuer.

Veronika Breuer was born to an Austrian father and a Hungarian mother. She grew up in a bilingual world, surrounded by a flock of siblings. This seems to have conferred a certain permeability onto her, an individuality that manifests itself softly, in a seemingly fragile manner which I would like to describe as a cautious resistance: open but firm. Her photographs are atmospheric, dominated by dark blues, greens or reds. Their poetic value seems to spring from a brittle texture reminding us of mist or the tender flesh of certain leaves. They have the body of curtains, loaves of bread, cheese, wood or soil.

Ceramic artist @thomasbohleofficial in his studio in Dornbirn
'My work is inspired by old forms and glazes. Simply fashioned everyday earthen objects from rural areas fascinate me as much as the high art of glazing in ancient China. The first ox blood glazed objects date back to the Sung Dynasty, when glazing was - as it continues to be today - one of the greatest challenges for ceramicists. In this way my pieces show the connection between traditional ceramic craft and contemporary ceramic art‘
