Strychnin Gallery recently held a stand at Art Fair 21 in Cologne Germany. One would have thought that now Yasha Young, the owner of the gallery is now a member of Art Fair 21 selection committee, all would have run smoothly. The customs officers at Frankfurt had different ideas.
One of Madeline Von Foerster’s artworks, “Amazon Cabinet” was held by customs in Germany, because they thought that it was an Old Master’s artwork and not painted by a living 35 year old American artist.
The situation proved farcical as they demanded a huge import duty to release the painting. Customs had unwrapped the top half of the artwork, but not the complete thing, which if they had done so, they would have perhaps noticed the chainsaw in the painting. After many phone calls it was finally proven that artwork was indeed a modern work by Madeline. Her painting finally made it to the art fair, hung on the opening night and duly sold.
Congratulations to Madeline on all counts.
Madeline has an up coming show at Strychnin’s Berlin Gallery on Friday 7th of November. More details can be found the the Strychnin Gallery website: http://www.strychnin.com/.
Madeline Von Foerster was interviewed previously on beinArt.org .
Madeline is one of 50 artists featured in our second publication Metamorphosis 2.
Leo Plaw, Luke Brown and Jarah Tree will be exhibiting at Luminopolis in London. After showing their artwork in the Liminal Village at the Boom Festival, they were invited to participate in the many faceted event that is Luminopolis. Formerly know as the Synergy Project, it is an indoor festival, combining musicians, Djs, Vjs, performers, and artists from all corners of creativity, joined by various proactive NGO’s and charities with the expressed aim to make a difference.
The events gather some of the UK’s leading creative multimedia organizations joined by international NGO’s such as Oxfam, Survival, Speak, Ecoshelter, WDM, Down2Earth, Greenpeace, Campaign Against Climate Change to provide just the right mix of open hearted enjoyment and meaningful reflection for a new direction.
Luminopolis re-invented the clubbing experience by transforming it into an ‘educational’ tool, associating healthy values of sustainability and social justice to strong role models such as respected artists and performers of the entertainment industry.
The event is on Friday the 3rd at the SeOne Club, located on Weston Street under London Bridge Tube Station.
