Pavlosv's dog PIN UP press release!
PIN UP !
Gruppenausstellung
Pin-Ups – Bilder von jungen, hübschen Frauen in mal mehr oder weniger erotischen Posen
(selten auch von Männern) wurden heimlich oder zumindest auf der Innenseite von Spinden,
Büchern, Schranktüren angebracht.
Nicht an der Außenseite – nicht für jeden ersichtlich. Diese Bilder vergilben irgendwann,
kriegen Eselsohren, fallen ab. Sie werden Opfer der Zeit. Eines Prozesses.
Heute laden wir Bilder von uns in allen möglichen Posen selbst täglich in sozialen Medien
hoch. Wir prostituieren uns auf Facebook, Instagram und Pinterest . Wir pinnen „uns“ quasi
auf virtuelle Wände. Manchmal wollen wir auch wieder runter. Aber vergeblich. Das Netz
vergisst nicht. Im digitalen Langzeitgedächtnis bleibt alles und im digitalen
Kurzzeitgedächtnis werden im Sekundentakt neue Bilder ersichtlich. Zeit zum Altern bleibt
nicht. Die neue Art von Voyeurismus. Von jedem, für jeden, jederzeit.
Schlussendlich geht es aber allen diesen Bildern um Träume – geheime, sexuelle, verbotene.
Träume lassen sich schlecht nach politisch und gendermäßig korrekten Maßstäben beurteilen.
Pin-Ups verwirklichen diese Träume. Man kann sie nicht zensieren, denn Vorstellungen und
Phantasien sind frei – zumindest bis zur Umsetzung.

Vernissage am Donnerstag, den 19. Februar 2015, 19.00 - 21.00 Uhr
Ausstellung: 20. Februar bis 20. März 2015
Group exhibition
Pin-Ups – everyone knows these images of young, beautiful women (and sometimes, but
rarely men) in more or less erotic poses. These photographs have always been secretly
affixed to the inside of lockers, books or wardrobe doors – on the inside of course – not for
everyone to see.
However, after a while, the photographs start to fade, they get dog-ears and eventually they
fall off. They fall victim to time – a process that is inevitable.
In the times of social media we upload photographs of ourselves posing in all kind of ways
on a daily basis. We prostitute ourselves on facebook, instagram or pinterest etc. We “pin”
ourselves to virtual walls. Sometimes we would like to “un-pin” us – but unsuccessfully so:
Because the internet does not forget. Everything remains in the virtual long-term memory
whereas the virtual short-term memory is constantly filled with new images every second of
every day. There is no time to age, to fade. In this new form of voyeurism everyone looks at
everyone and is looked at by everyone all the time.
What all the images have in common though are the desires they represent: secret, sexual,
tabooed phantasies and it is hard to judge these dreams by political or gender sensitive
criteria.
Pin-ups are the realisation of these desires. One cannot censor them, as dreams and phantasies
and thoughts are free – that is until their realisation of course.

Press release "playing with beauty"
RedLine Presents: Playing with Beauty
Curated by Mark Sink
Press Preview: March 13, 2015 at 11 AM
Opening on March 14, 2015
Member’s Preview: 6-7 PM
Public Reception: 7- 10 PM
(DENVER- January 2015) Since 2011 RedLine has served as the nerve center for Denver’s
Month of Photography exhibition and is excited to return in this same role in 2015! Mark
Sink will also return to curate this year’s Month of Photography’s signature exhibition,
Playing with Beauty. Sink is a curator, artist, photographer, and is the champion of infusing
and connecting Denver for two months with the most exciting and innovative work going on
in the field of contemporary fine art photography. Playing with Beauty specifically explores
how the loaded subject of beauty is now being approached, or “played with”, in photography
today.
As Sink explains,
I have always been interested in the impact beauty has in our lives and culture. Examples of
this are in early historical surveys of the romanticized west and continue on to todays’
contemporary visions. Through MoP’s signature exhibition, I explore this timeless interest in
the human form as well as our culture of celebrity worship. Beauty drives my personal work
and life and I am interested how others deal with the subject through the lens. Visitors to
Playing with Beauty can anticipate works exploring this subjective and often controversial
topic in art; ranging from classical to conceptual, from humorous to dark.
A long-debated subject in the medium of photography, Sink has curated 25 artists to reveal
how beauty is being portrayed, explored and interpreted today. He has also offered the
subject matter of beauty to be explored as a MoP theme (though not mandatory) and many
galleries in Denver are participating (e.g. Center for Fine Art Photography, Gildar Gallery,
and The Museum of Contemporary Art Denver).
Playing with Beauty is a group exhibition and will be on view at RedLine through April 19,
2015.

" Persona, Dada, La La La…"
Une Proposition de Susanne Junker et Laurent Friquet
Le Samedi 10 Janvier 2015
Photo-shoot / Projet ID-Identity par Susanne Junker de 14h à 19h.
«Il y a quelques années j'ai réalisé que parfois nous pouvons être «laide» pour être «belle»
ou ce que la société pense être «belle».
Susanne Junker sera d’abord mannequin dans les années 90. Photographiée par les plus
importants photographes de mode elle fera les couvertures du ELLE et autres grands
magazines de mode. En 1999 elle décide de tout arrêter pour se réapproprier son image en se
photographiant par morceaux choisis. Son travail apparaît alors comme une quête identitaire
en contradiction affirmée avec le diktat des studios de mode.
ID-Identity est un de ses derniers projets photographiques créé en 2006, son studio mobile a
voyagé de la Chine à l’Europe, dans des Musées et Institutions où sont organisées les séances
photos.
Le concept est de photographier les femmes pendant qu'elles se maquillent et cela sans
miroir. L’appareil photo devient le miroir invisible. Chaque séance photo est individuelle, le
modèle est libre de choisir ce qu'elle veut faire, tout comme le temps qu’elle prendra pour se
maquiller. Certaines femmes utiliseront juste une couleur et 5 minutes suffiront, d’autres
prendront plus de temps. Les photographies ne seront pas retouchées.
C’est l’occasion pour certaines d’entre vous de participer a un processus de création et de
devenir le temps d’une séance un des éléments de cette œuvre.
La galerie ADDICT deviendra le Samedi 10 Janvier 2015 de 14.00 à 19.00 un Studio
d’artiste. Le nombre de place étant limitées veuillez confirmer votre présence et le créneau
horaire souhaité par email à lagalerie@addictgalerie.com
"J'étais fasciné par des performeurs scéniques comme Iggy Pop. Quands tu prends juste la
personne, ce sont des transes incroyables. Le corps est dans une tension, un déchainement,
une liberté totale."
