The keyboarder files!

I was astonished at the result from the first overhead transparency experiment and I decided to make some more overhead transparency stuff.
I like this blurring effect, the people get a surreal style and look like aliens or monsters!

Now I used as backgrounds two photos from an old photo album, which I bought some years ago at a flea market in Germany. Both pictures were shot in Dubrovnik in 1939.

I shot the two pictures of the girls with my Konica Pop at the vernissage in the Fole Studio.

Arte rigorosamente proibida!

"Arte rigorosamente proibida" means in English: strictly prohibited art.

It started some months ago as I found an old window frame in the shed of my aunt and I thought: Hey, perhaps I can use it!
But only in the last days I had the idea for what I can use it or how I can use it. The idea is inspired by the street art stuff which I saw in the last time.

Therefore I searched the letter stencils and painted with a permanent marker the text "Arte rigorosamente proibida" on the frame:

Then I stamped with my old letter stamps the text on old paper:

But now I needed a picture to print on it. I thought and thought and then the picture came in my mind. I shot it with my Konica Pop at the vernissage in the Fole Studio. The picture shows two girls who made funny things with the mannequin:

After I printed the picture on the paper, I cut the paper, taped it together and put it in the frame:

The assembly of the Fole Arte Exhibition.

Yesterday was the assembly and the vernissage of the Fole Arte exhibition.

It was a cool and smooth vernissage with live music, experimental movies, my pictures, many funky folk and good talks! Therefore a cool evening! I wanted to shoot some analoge photos of the vernissage, but I think I shot only ten pictures...

But of course before this was the assembly ;)

At home:

At the Fole Studio:

The preparations for the Fole Arte exhibition.

An exhibition signifies a lot of work before the vernissage happens. For the organizer means this to promote and, of course, to organize the exhibition. A part of this is to write to the media, like news papers, therewith they publish a report. Yesterday, 02.02.2012, was a report about the exhibition in the Jornal de Santa Catarina (see the multimedia part) in the rubric "Lazer".
But the journalist made two mistakes. First the exhibition won't be in Itajaí, but in Blumenau. The second mistake is, that the credit of my picture got another person. But of course, it is my picture. I have got the copyright for this picture, because I shot it!


But okay, as artist I've got many things to do for the exhibition, like to choose the pictures I'll show, then to go to a laboratory that they print the pictures, then to choose the frames.
Some days ago I was at MADESP in Benedito Novo. The company is a lumbermill and has got a large factory for wooden frames. I had the pleasure to choose between hundreds of frames, it was great. I chose wooden frame strips in the used look. I think this style harmonises very good with the pictures I'll show!

After this I was with the wooden frame strips and the pictures at a glasser, who also makes frames.
And here they are:










I love these frames! :)
