Your truth is my fiction, Room 3

The last space in our exhibition shows my Fortune Mountain hanging from the central beam of the apartment, dividing the main living/ studio 2 spaces. For this sculptural installation, I created fack fortune strips of paper so people could write their own fortunes, after tasting the ones bought here in Berlin, which have German on one side and the English translation on the other, a nice surprise for the work and for our entertainment it seems those crazy translations from Chinese to German as just as odd as those in English.

A few words about the artists and their work:
Kyla's work reflects on the every day situations we encounter and the way miscommunications create different truths and realities for different people. She finds innovative ways to use ephemera and recycle materials; in this exhibition she is showing a new sculpture from the Miscommuniques series titled Mind Shaft and related works on paper.
Cara Machas created a series drawings and collages of fictional mountain landscapes. Visual elements are sampled, transposed and layered from sources including retro photographic resource books, landscape painting history and fictional narratives from art house films and popular literature- the pop that lifts our spirits- not sublime, but almost.
We look forward to seeing you and your friends at the opening!

Busying building MIND SHAFT

I will be making a few late back dated entries for the past 2 months but for now I continue in what might be reality.

Today I woke up and laughed to find that I had slept on a few loose nails, no harm done just more fun making art. Yesterday I embarked on making my MIND SHAFT, using hoarded wood from bed slats and a bookshelf, today I have new muscles and happy thoughts of what I am doing.
