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.

Exrapolation
I like to climb trees a lot.
Up in the trees everything looks a little "Pollockesque".
My mother has told me that I as a two to three year old (almost) fell down from a huge ash. I was hooked up in one of the branches, and ended up hanging upside down in one of my rubber booths. I never made a sound - just hanged there quietly. I do not remember this myself, but I like to believe that I enjoyed the view.
I remove the "jazz" of Pollock's paintings, and create sugestive mirrors wich is largely based on light-dark contrasts rather than chromatic structure. The result is a setting up of a rigorous play of Pollock/anti-Pollock polarities in each work.
The round shape is a comment on my use of a lens based equipment. Kodak's very first camera availiable to the public - the No. 1 Kodak, provided round images. / Tondos.
