This is the first Award by the n.g.o Solidar Swiss who is fighting for just workingconditions worldwide. The first Solidar Award goes to the activist Marie-Claude Hessler who has been fighting for fair working conditions in children toy factories in China of a big international toy brand since over twenty years.

each award will show a portrait of the honoured person
each woodblock has it's own history
this one I found in the swiss alps above Zermatt on 2200m
and carried it down to the flat land in my backpack

this area was built in 1868 as a noodle factory
since 40 years it has been used as a exhibition off space, artist and musician studios, garden, a super good pizzaria, a carpet shop and last but not least the kindergarden «Papagei» (parrot) which gave the inspiration to paint this huge bird.

as so many other old factory areas it has been left untended all these years and now this one too will soon be torn down.
another part of history erased.
only preserved on photographs
not anymore to be lived in and experienced.
places that smell of old wood.
the parrot will hold tight till he'll get fed the demolition pear.

high above in the sky
windy air like wavy water
deep down in the ocean
on a rooftop full of garbage
thoughts of plastic in the sea
thoughts of murdered animals through eaten plastic
desire to change peoples habit of throwing garbage mindlessly away
letting it float into wherever
letting it suffocate our habitat
remembering childhood days when we liked fish as sticks
calling them fishfingers
twisted thoughts on what if fish would eat us like we eat them
(audio-read Schätzing's «The Swarm»)
exhausted from Mumbai madness
exhausted from New Friends
happy afterall

NEW FRIENDS

Mumbai 2014
St+art India festival

animals as humans
many different characters
many different realities and perspectives
sharing this life, now, on this planet, here, today
interacting, with friction, love and care
an encouragement for respect of each others diversity
make the best of what you have, wherever you are
see the beauty present in this moment
put your smartphone aside once in a while
be 100% animal
live now

WÄSCHBÄR MIT DEM GOLDENEN EI /

RACOON WITH THE GOLDEN EGG
digging through trash
shockolate, cacao with adrenalin
polluting uselessness
d.i.y., containering and occupation
is happiness with not needing much
is like holding the golden egg
it's like beeing a racoon sometimes

the original is situated at Grimmstrasse Halle / Germany 
A.Y.C.P. - Freiraumgalerie Halle/Saale

I cannot put the gratitude in words for the experience of this week!
Thank you all for the amazing commitment and time!!!

After beeing Abandoned for some years the curators Katharina Lang and Martina Jakober invited artists, one after the other, to work and live for a week in the space and transform it by reacting on the already present traces of the past as its former storage use and on the interventions of the previous artist.

My interaction was to separate the space in squares, all with materials found in the room. the only things i brought along was buckets of silver-tape, white, black, yellow, red, and blue paint, a jigsaw and a drillingmachine. while cutting out the linoleum square on the floor I found bits of newspapers from the 1950ies which I collaged in the counter window, bits of talks from the past which still can be red from both sides. also the cut away linoleum showed a monotype print from all the feet which have walked over it in the past 65 years, rupping the dirt into the cardboard. On the hanging square in the middle of the room visitores were asked to store their travelling stories on a pies of paper, knotted to a square made of batten.

SAWATIKA INSTALLATION — KAH PUPPET

Maja Hürst
SAWATIKA
05/04/2014 — 20/05/2014
Toot Yung Art Center
Bangkok

The title of the solo exposition SAWATIKA is a wordplay of the Thai greeting «sawadee — kah» and Maja Hürst visual universe «TIKA». The installation for her first one-person-show in Asia is a retrospect on her experiences during her Bangkok stay as Toot Yung artist in residence from January till April 2014. Each triangle stands for a theme which has occupied the artists mind and work and is held by a hand, one of the TIKA key images. The alutaped shapes are catalyzers resembling the roof of a house, a temple or tree. Most of the artworks have been produced during Hürst's stay in Bangkok.

The alutaped shapes are catalyzers resembling the roof of a house, a temple or tree. Most of the artworks have been produced during Hürst's stay in Bangkok.

MRS.WENDAL

110x20m
Centre Stage, Midtown, Atlanta G.A. Usa
Living Walls Conference

The building is host to the music-hall Center Stage since over 60 years. Acts such as the Rolling Stones, Jay Z and Elton John have made music in there. While researching I saw that in September 2012 the Atlanta based Hiphop-Band Arrested Development will give one of their 20 years anniversary concerts at this venue. The first CD I bought from my own pocket-money was their album «3 years 5 month and 2 days in the life of...» to which I've listened to for many years. The song Mr. Wendal was my favorite one. It talks of housless people and their struggle of acceptance in society. As I saw many homeless while driving through the city and as they maybe never be able to listen to a concert at Center Stage I wanted to bring a bit of the music to the outside.... 

When I first saw the building I straight away saw the kneeling/bowing person. So it became MRS. WENDAl embracing Center Stage as if it was a pocket radio, listening to the music going on inside. Naked and homeless but content. She ain't got much but music.

THANKYOU Thomas, Kief, Devin, Kim, Doodoobut, Trevor, Lucy, Susan, Fletcher, the media Team, all the Living Walls Team and all the helpers, Center Stage staff and a big shoutout to all the supertalented LW 08/12 artists!

Thank you viva con agua WASH festival for making this happen and bring all of us together!

each one of us had a wall constructed of pieces of woods in diffrent sizes, colours and textures
my wall had a greenish round shaped part on the left, so it was clear it's gonna be a mami-water tale
the rest of the painting built itself up based on the shapes, textures and colours of the woods, of the imputs we became at the workshop about water-consumption that the Welt-Hunger-Hilfe gave us and of thoughts about circuits in life. Circuits of souls. Circuits of water.

AETERNA VANITAS

Outside of Berlin, at the lake Grabowsee, stands an abandoned tuberculosis sanatorium, where a group of ambitioned people is working on realizing a project called kidsglobe.org. A project rooted in the believe that our future lies in the education of our kids. It aims to create a boarding school where kids not only get trained in common knowlege but  also in arts, handcrafts, agriculture and how to respect eachother and the nature. 

When I first went to paint at Grabowsee I didn't know so much about the project.... it was the day after Amy Winehouses death and my thoughts were circling around dying young. So in the train I had this ruff idea of an animal and a mermaid dancing handing over symbols of vanity to each other.... to paint the moment of full youth, joy and party beeing ripped into eternity.

RABIESTIKA FOX / RABIESTIKA DEER / RABIESTIKA BABOON

A serie of paintings on and behind glass for my soloshow «RABIESTIKA» in July 2011 in Berlin.

I'm sure you know this feeling when something happens in your life, that seems so wrong and that hurts so much as it must hurt to have a knife stuck straight in your heart. It makes you rage and scream and drives tears of anger in your eyes.... similar to how rabies infected beasts go mad. With white foam infront of the mouth, totally raging out of control.

I made some tests with glass over the last years, the results did not satisfie nor were they worth publishing and when I stumbled over a religous Austrian Hinterglassmalerei painting in a museum plus some dusty frames in our attic I chose to give it a try. The fox, the deer and the baboon made it into the show. Savely trapped behind glass. Like animals in a zoo.

TIKA's Artist Statement:

TIKA’s work is a reflection on today’s global society, as well as the forgotten traditions and sagas of the past. TIKA has visited many places around the world, not just to travel but to get to know the local people and learn about their current situation along with what histories and traditions they grew up with. Born in Switzerland, TIKA grew up in Cairo, Brussels, Cologne, and Zurich, where she currently lives when not diving her time between Berlin and Rio de Janeiro. The name TIKA originally came from antibiotika, the German word for antibiotics. It’s also hindi-slang for ‘tilaka’, the different blessing-signs that Hindus wear as a symbol of power to protect the third eye. When you’re asked, “How are you?” in Hindi, you reply “TIKA!” to say that you’re fine. She studied at ZHDK but, as the artist explains, “it was learning about the D.I.Y. and cultural squat scene, reading a lot, living in a different places in the world, and painting on the streets that got me where I am today.” “What occupies my mind most is the diversity of points of views on life,” says TIKA. “Like the development of cities, how this affects spaces for self-determined living and projects. How buildings full of history get ripped down to be replaced by glass cubes. The effects globalization has on regional and traditional habits and architecture. Love, vanity and loss of people. How long and short at the same time a life can be and the before and after of it. I like to read about sagas and myth, about the written down and told to be true history and the actual circumstances in politics, economy and environment.  What inspires me is everyday life. Random people on the streets, how they dress and talk and, if I get to talk to them, what and how they think. Of course, in the days of Internet I pick up a lot of information and inspiration through there, as well. Still, I try to read and see and think as often as possible without a computer between. When I create, it's like all experiences and thoughts run through me and out again. The feeling of creating while I paint, draw, write or cook is similar: I forget time while I'm at it.”? TIKA has left traces on the streets of Zürich, Bern, Basel, St. Gallen, Glarus, Berlin, Potsdam, Dresden, Munich, Cologne, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Salvador da Bahia, Belo Horizonte, New York, L.A., San Francisco, Paris, Praha, Biarritz, Marseille, Barcelona, Madrid, Milano, London, Vienna, Sofia, Amsterdam, Istanbul, Cape Town, Buenos Aires, Mexico D.F., Gvernavaca, and Puerto Escondido. She has put on solo exhibitions in Amsterdam, Vienna, Berlin, and Rio de Janiero, and participated in various group shows around the world, including New York, L.A., Sofia, Mexico D.F., Milano, and Madrid. TIKA is currently participating in a three month residency in Cape Town through Pro Helvetia, /A WORD OF ART, One k, and the Woodstock Industrial Centre.??“I'm learning a lot about South African history and current effects of  Apartheid,” she says. “I will take these imputs and let them go as the view of someone who is not grown up here into my solo show ‘KAPTIKA’ (a mix of the German word KAPSTADT and TIKA). All of the work included will be made during my stay in Cape Town.”

MEIN HERZ SO WEISS III

MY HEART SO WHITE III
acrylic & pyrography on carved wood, 52x34cm inclusive frame, Cape Town 01/2011
part of private collection K. Lang

«Mein Herz so weiss» ist eine Serie von Brandbildern in Holz. Inspiriert durch das gleichnamige Buch von Javier Mariaz das mir meine Freundin Liza vor Jahren empfohlen hat. Weiss steht für die Naivität und das Herz für Emotionen. In der Serie wird die Naivität der Einzelnen durch die Realität des Lebens bedrängt. 

In diesem Bild sind es die Eindrücke die in Cape Town auf mich einprasselten. 
Einerseits der noch stark zu spürende Unterschied zwischen den Rassen, sprich post Apartheit. Andererseits wie sich Armut und Reichtum nebeneinander zu Extremen entfalten. Kapstadts Zentrum erscheint mir wie eine schillernd glänzende, parfümierte Seifenblase mit schicken Läden und Cafes. Grossen Autos, Swimmingpools, äusserst modebewussten Menschen und weiss, strahlenden Häusern. 
Die Townships hingegen, ich war in Gugulethu, versinken im Müll und in giftgrün stehendem Wasser indem sich grosse Ratten tummeln. Die Erwachsenen sind oft HIV positiv, wenige werden alt, und die Kinder gehen oft garnicht erst in die Schule. 
Ich lebe in Woodstock wo sich diese Gegensätze vermischen. Dadurch wird mir geraten das ich Nachts nicht auf die Strasse soll und ständig hört man von Übergriffen. Letztes Wochenende war ich Nachmittags hier in der Nachbarschaft malen. Ich hab Azeeza kennengelernt, sie unterrichtet die Kinder in der Moschee nebenan und hat mich spontan bei sich zuhause zum Bairani essen eingeladen. Wir hatten ein langes Gespräch über «verwurzelt sein oder ein Nomaden Leben führen» und das beides gut ist weil die einen den Andern dann ihre Erfahrungen mitteilen können. Darüber wie wichtig die Familie ist und wie froh sie ist all ihre Kinder und Enkel bei sich in der Strasse wohnen zu haben und ich wie dankbar ich bin so tolle Eltern und den besten Bruder zu haben. Sie hat mich verabschiedet mit der Ansage, das wenn irgendwer mich bedrohen sollte ich nur sie als Referenz angeben soll. Alle kennen sie. Dieses Erlebnis, und auch die Kinder Woodstocks die bei mir sassen als ich gemalt habe und auch gezeichnet haben, lassen mich meine Soloausstellung KAPTIKA dem Stadtteil Woodstock widmen.

Zurück zu diesem Bild: Die gebrannte und geschnittene Meerjungfrau steht symbolisch für die Unterdrückung der Rasse als auch Tradition. Denn ausser an den Touristenmärkten hab ich bisher wenig traditionelles, eigenes gesehen. Die helle Kuh steht für gewinnmaximierenden Kapitalismus. Das Gedankengut das alles immer mehr und besser und schöner werden muss. Was in Kapstadt frei zu sein scheint ist die Natur, der Papagei-was-auch-immer Vogel und der Mond.

GUERREIRAS SOLTANDO OS BIXOS — O SOM DO BERIMBAU

WARRIORS LET GO THE BEASTS — THE SOUND OF A BERIMBAU

Swiss cooks have founded the project cuisine sans frontiere with the idear, that food brings together people, is a good opportunity to have conversations and through that creat a better environment. I spent five weeks with a chef and an administrator to translate and paint a mural in the favela Cidade de Plastico in Periperi in Salvador da Bahia.

We danced «rebolation», we ate rice and beans every day, we ran because of shootings and then saw the shot guy get carried away in a hand barrol, we were right next to the beach and every evening there was a sunset like an impresionist painting, the radio refreshed my musicmemories of the 80ies «heal the world», Elton Jhon and Erasure whise, kids drawing on their papers and tables and chairs causing another fight which belonged to the daily routine, dragquenns giving an audience on friday nights. Making new friends and having hours and hours of conversations and beers. Thanks to Cusisine sans Frontier, Sonja und Sonja, MSTB, Natal, Grazielli, Kelly, Emol, Julio, Thais, Bigode, Questão, ICEBE and all the other people!

WALDMANNLI / FORESTMAN

I spent newyear 2009/2010 in this chalet in the swiss mountains in Sedrun, Bündnerland. While searching for tales out of this region i found this one of a «Waldmannli» (small man out of the forest) 

In a small mountaintown in Graubünden there lived once a juryman. One day this man found a very bizzare animal in his garden as he has never seen one before. It was a small furry, black animal, with a red nosed snout and big claws but eyes so small it seemed it could not open them and with small sharp vampirelike teeth. He put this creature in a box and wandered in the village to find out what he has found. But no one knew what it was. Not even the books. So the towneldest decided to announce a gathering of all the villagers and mountainpeople. But still nobody had ever seen such a thing. So after long discussions they then decided that it would be best to kill this thing. On the way how to do it they couldn't agree. That's when the Waldmannli stepped forward and asked to have a look at he beast...
which he at once recognised as a harmless mole. Smirkingly he suggested to the villagers to burry it alife. Pleased of this easy, simple and even chep way they burried it alife in the jurymans garden where it has been found.
Broadly grinning the Wldmannli walked off and the mole strated digging the garden till it looked like an acnefaced teenager.
