"Roots&Roofs" Vernissage. Exhibition in Berlin
Die G.ART Gallery präsentiert die Roots&Roofs-Vernissage mit einem Einführungsvortrag "Berlin als Leinwand" von Dr. Julia Wischke.Die Kunstplattform G.ART GALLERY organisierte eine internationale Residenz für etablierte und junge Künstler aus den Ländern des östlichen Europas und stellte ihnen eine ehrgeizige Aufgabe: Berlin kreativ wahrzunehmen, ihre eigene Vision dieser Stadt durch das Prisma ihrer Kultur und ihrer individuellen Weltsicht anzubieten. Die Teilnehmer der Residenz nutzten ihr kreatives Potenzial in verschiedenen Techniken und Stilen der Kunst, um über die Besonderheiten Berlins zu reflektieren. Der Ort des Pleinairs war ein besonderer Ort - eine Dachterrasse im Zentrum der Stadt, an der Grenze zwischen dem ehemaligen West- und Ost-Berlin.
Berlin, von oben betrachtet, fasziniert durch seinen Facettenreichtum: Die Stadt ist wie ein Kaleidoskop, ein Bild, das sich zufällig aus verschiedenen Stilen und Epochen zu einem gemeinsamen Muster zusammensetzt. Sowohl die Siege als auch die Misserfolge, der Respekt vor der Geschichte und die mutige Offenheit für Veränderungen sind hier sichtbar. Die Ausstellung Roots&Roofs bildet den Abschluss der Kunst-Residenz.Die Vernissage wird von Dr. Julia Wischke eröffnet. Berlin als Leinwand - so nennt Julia ihre Tour durch Berlins Gemälde. Der Eröffnungsvortrag ist der Stadt Berlin gewidmet, die seit Jahrhunderten den jeweiligen Machthabern, kühnen Denkern und visionären Architekten sowie allen, die hier gestrandet sind, als Leinwand ihrer Ideen und Visionen gedient hat.
Zu Ihrer und unserer Sicherheit bitten wir Sie unsere allgemeinen Hygieneregeln einzuhalten. https://gart.gallery/.../rootsandroofs-exhibition-in-berlin/Ort: Eisenacherstrasse 49, 10823VERNISSAGE am Freitag, am 01.10. um 19.00
Good mood is usually considered a state without an identified cause; people cannot pinpoint exactly why they are in a good mood. People seem to experience a positive mood when they have a clean slate, have had a good night sleep, and feel no sense of stress in their life.

TREASURES FOR THE FUTURE 1l4f6t
UNESCO HOUSE 7 place de Fontenoy, 75352 Paris 07 SP
Following a successful launch in 2014, the art and charity event Treasures for the Future created by STUDIO EKATERINA holds its second edition in the UNESCO House in Paris, May 2016. The event serves a dual goal: on the one hand to Ivorian association ASAPSU with its medical projects focused on communities, and on the other hand to contemporary artists from around the world.
The artistic program will include a variety of events such as a contemporary art exhibition, a round table with the participation of committed experts in art and culture, a musical performance, and finally a charity art auction conducted by Jeanne Calmont, auctioneer and specialist from SOTHEBY’s contemporary art department. The official opening will be by our guest of honor M Philippe Couperie Eiffel. There will be a book presentation and sale organised by the Association Amis de Gustave Eiffel. Books purchased during the sale will be signed by M Philippe Couperie Eiffel in person.
The funds raised through the art auction will largely be donated to ASAPSU in of their medical projects for the prevention and treatment of intestinal infections among schoolchildren in remote regions of Ivory Coast. The remaining part will be used to the participating artists.
