has been for sale for some time, as you have seen. The maintenance and ongoing development to keep our non-profit and idealistic platform for contemporary art running and safe from hackers etc. costs money that is no longer there. Because of small investments that are necessary now and the running costs, we will have to shut down with a heavy heart at the beginning of summer on June 21.

About me
Rüdiger Schwamborn (Schwamborn)
Looking at the pictures from Rüdiger Schwamborn (born 1964) apparently makes the familiar to the unknown and disturbing. The sweet peace of clichés is nowhere to be found. Instead, it scans the view along the curves color and brush strokes, he discovered scratches and bubbles, begins as a seemingly familiar figurative and speculates on some points of the surface provided a hidden underground. The often evocative title of the images open up a new dimension to this art space. Certainly there is nothing left.
Schwamborns images escort into the depths of space, which seemed to be unknown even to the artist before. Rather, they are the result of a search, the source may be an own restlessness, a doubt about the beautiful appearance, a skepticism about overly smoothed world.
These pictures were taken not in the head, but only on the screen. The connected with them search for the right phrase was certainly both pleasurable as well as painful, as it did, with a dead end and destruction as well as energetic flares and finding the "right" expression. Was completed for this search Schwamborn only when the "driving brush" by the artist did not want to be driven. He calls this state found "freedom", which has manifested itself both in the process of painting as well as in the final image.
The results of this process are often surprising even for the artist.
In case you share this surprise happy with him and sees the familiar distorted context. In many cases this view ironic or even mischievous undertone goes hand in hand with a (quite intentionally), then the art even plays with the viewer.
For several years Schwamborn dedicated to photography. Again, there are perspectives that put the Overlooked Careless or the center of attention. Then we discover a very different world in the ruffled waves a muddy puddle. Anyone brave enough to see lingers - at least for a moment - in a good cosmos, because free art.
