Today artist talk with Armin Scheid
Tonight at 6.30 Armin Scheid will answer questions about his pictures.
The Cologne artist studied at the University of Dortmund and the Düsseldorf Art Academy, and was assistant to Prof. Norbert Tadeusz for several years. Since 2003 he has co-developed the exhibition series “junge kunst” in Cologne. In his painting, Scheid is concerned with inventing a “new pictorial reality of his own, based on a motif that fascinates him, which concentrates entirely on working with pictorial means.”

Start der Art Moscow
Mit einem verkleinerten Feld von ca. 50 Galerien präsentiert sich derzeit die internationale Kunstszene in Moskau. Bei der Art Moscow zeigen Galerien aus 15 Ländern ihr Programm, wobei sicher die russischen Galerien bei weitem den größten Anteil stellen: Mit Aidan, Guelman, XL und Krokin sind denn auch die wichtigsten Moskauer Galerien dabei. Bei der Vernissage am gestrigen Abend war der Andrang wie in den Jahren zuvor unvermindert groß.
Die Stadt scheint nach der Krise gereinigt: Allerorten bewegen sich die Kräne wieder, die Sehenswürdigkeiten aufgeputzt, auf den Straßen prächtige Autos. Man munkelt, dass nun der allmächtige Bürgermeister Lushkov, der über viele Jahre Moskau nach eigenen Regeln beherrschte, abtreten muss: Zeit für Veränderung in einer Stadt, die sich sowieso jeden Tag neu erfindet.
Anbei ein paar Impressionen der Messe und der Stadt:
Vernissage Art Moscow

Soon again ART MOSCOW

Thomas Zika and Henri Cartier-Bresson
On Friday, September 3rd, from 7 p. m. we will give a preview of the autumn of 2010 in the gallery under the title *preview*.
We’re opening our new “Collector’s Lounge” with a real sensation: we’re showing 13 original photographs by Henri Cartier-Bresson, including vintages and real rarities. There are portraits of Marilyn Monroe, de Gaulle and Jean Paul Sartre, two photos of the Berlin Wall, travel photos from India, Mexico, Russia, Spain, USA, as well as the famous photos of the Palais Royal and the Gare St. Lazare. Use the opportunity of the preview, because we take a part of the work in 10 days on the Art Moscow with us.
From Friday to October 2 Thomas Zika shows his new photo works from the series “Butterflies-Dem Admiral das Leben gerettet”. This will also be a preview of his solo exhibition in spring 2011.
The exhibition “Gezeichnet, gepixelt, gedruckt” mit sieben international tätigen Künstlern aus der Illustrations- und Zeichenkunst is extended until 25 September 2010. .
Thomas Zika shows Butterflies
From 4 September the internationally active photographer Thomas Zika will be showing works entitled “Butterflies – Dem Admiral das Leben gerettet”. in our gallery. In contrast to the sober, objective depiction of butterflies in “Papillons” last exhibition, Zika now finds an opulent and very poetic pictorial language for the depiction of butterflies. In large-format and color-intensive prints, the viewer is confronted with an exuberant nature that literally swells out of the picture, thus counteracting the technical gesture of the medium of photography.

Exhibition: 4 September – 2 October 2010.
