Art Exchange 2013 Participants Released Today


CAA


ARTEXCHANGE



Organized by Sharon Butler and Timothy Nolan
CAA’s Services to Artists Committee presents ARTexchange, an open forum for artists to share their work at the 2013 Annual Conference. Free and open to the public, ARTexchange will be held on Friday, February 15, 5:30–7:30 PM, in the East Ballroom Foyer, 3rd Floor. A cash bar will be available.
ARTexchange is an annual event showcasing the art of CAA members, who can exhibit their paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, sculptures, and digital works using the space on, above, and beneath a six-foot folding table. Artists may also construct temporary mini-installations and conduct performance, sound, and spoken-word pieces in their space. In the past, many ARTexchange participants found the event to be their favorite part of the conference, with the table parameter sparking innovative ideas and creative displays.

Museum Der Bildenden Kunste - Leipzig


Best aping of the Warhol banana, eh? On the front door of the MDBK, Leipzig


Trak Wendisch,  Gebrannte Kinder, 1989-90



Left to Right paintings by Michael Morgner and Wolfgang Petrovsky


Balthasar Permoser, 'Jupiter' 1705,  Klaus Rinke 'Queen of the Seas' 1986, Balthasar Permoser 'Juno' 1705

Wack juxtaposition of artist's artwork and eras - that's how they do it in Leipzig.


This museum is also home to a large collection of the 'Leipzig School of Painting' in which they show on the 4th floor of the museum.

Neo Rauch

Leader of the so-called 'Leipzig School of Painters'

Tobias Lehner, untitled, 2005


Matthias Weischer




Henriett Gahnert, The Good Die Young or How To Become a Legend, 2010


Ben Willikens, Raum 652, 2010

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hubert Scheibl installed a show at the Museum when I visited called 'Plants & Murders', here is one of the paintings:

Hubert Scheibl,  Big Swinger, 2006/2007

Also, the museum is home to some ecclectic artists of art history, like Max Klinger, who painted a pissing skeleton! Anyone, anyone?


Max Klinger, 'Der Pinelden Tod', 1880


Close Up of Max Klinger, 'Der Pinelden Tod', 1880


Der Pinelden Tod means 'Peeing Death', by the way.
