Where to meet art, culture and creativity
Born in Linz in 1971, Tobias Pils is among the most exciting painters working today. Employing a heavily reduced color palette, he creates paintings and drawings that weave abstract and representational elements into associative pictorial worlds. What in terms of subject matter can be interpreted as an investigation of both elementary and personal themes like birth and death or becoming and passing, also negotiates central questions in painting at large. For in Pils’ visual cosmos, one painterly mark leads to the next, one image to another, as if painting were constantly staging its own death and rebirth.
METABOLICA leads us into the factory of life and tells a molecular story of metabolic cycles across five chapters – from the Industrial Revolution to the present and future, from whaling and the petromodern age to current and emerging scenarios of the bioeconomy. Algae and bacteria become artistic collaborators, forming a new visual and aesthetic practice through microbiological processes.
Pia Ferm, Frankfurt
Be it carving, weaving or tufting, Pia Ferm defines herself as a sculptor. In her neat tapestries, hand-trimmed to keep the surface alive, the Swedish artist mixes a pretty medium with humor, creating figures that are frozen in time like cartoons. Time is essential for Ferm but not in the way you might think. She has plenty of it.
