"wordless patchy fog upon lands of fact and fancy" 03/04/2008
for our exhibition in spain lily wittenburg and i created a twist-around catalog with the works shown at the iguapop gallery/barcelona .
the spanish paper el pais wrote an article about it. if you translate it with the online translator from spanish to german you'll get this :)
"Lily Wittenburg und Moki glauben zarte verschneite Landschaften, Erinnerungen seiner eisigen Erden (beide sind junge aus Hamburg stammende Künstlerinnen) oder von japanischen Bergen (sie Hayao Miyazaki, Schöpfer von El Reise von Chihiro , als einer seiner größten Anreger erkennen); so, bedeckt der Schnee großen Bericht der Schöpfungen von Moki, zwischen phantasmagorischen dunklen Wesen, von seltsamem Ehrgeiz. Seinerseits spielt Lily mit dem Ziel und dem Neger in seinen Werken des kleinen Formates. Obwohl, das Interessanteste darin bestehen wird, die Errichtung zu sehen, die sie exklusiv vorstellten, in dieser Probe, den Saal des kalten Milieus imprägnierend, das seine Bilder einatmen. Werden sie die Schuldigen des Abstieges der Temperaturen dieser Tage sein? Wenn er braucht, komm das Halstuch im Hals durcheinander, ziehe die Handschuhe an und verbieten Sie Iguapop. / David Juli directit"
catalog: 32 pages, 10euro at iguapop.net
