Action 1120/09
August 20 - September 4, 2010
An exhibition of pixel pictures by Urban Art / Anne Peschken and Marek Pisarsky in collaboration with participants in the cultural workplace of the LOWTEC gGmbH, funded by JobCenter Tempelhof-Schöneberg.
For the past year, the two artists Anne Peschken and Marek Pisarsky, who are working together under the name of Urban Art, are taking action 1120/09, organized by LOWTEC gGmbH and carried out on behalf of JobCenter Tempelhof-Schöneberg. Together with the participants of the action, a series of pixel images were created, which can be seen in the exhibition.
The pixel image idea and manufacturing process
For the production of the pixel pictures are painted, discarded canvases of other artists nationwide. These screens are torn to strips, leaving only minimal traces, single molecules of the original painterly controversy. Various stripes of this kind are interwoven with each other on wedge frames. This results in a braided basic structure which serves as a basis for a new image. Each plaited field corresponds to a pixel, which is later uniformly painted with a hue. This results in very coarse-resolved images, which are recognizable only from a great distance. Seen from close up, they look like an arbitrary, abstract color mesh. The manufaktural way of working in the production of the pixel images, for which no artistic pre-knowledge and only the most basic craftsmanship is necessary, allowed the participants to enter the production directly. The first picture, taken together with the participants of the measure, is the landing / landing of boat refugees from Africa ("Gestrandet", 300 cm x 180 cm)
As a contrast at the other end of the social value scale followed "The stock exchange" (300 cm x 180 cm). In the further course of the measure, the topic of the workplace emerged. Painted workplaces from outside, actual potential jobs. The presentation of such topics is particularly suitable for pixel-image technology: because, just as one has to keep a great distance when looking at the images, if one wants to recognize the concrete image content, it is often also with the wishes, which become clearer from a greater distance perceptible and more attractive than when the person concerned is in the middle of the event or eg just before the real entry into the world of work. Thus, the observer also has to choose a suitable double-perspective viewpoint between zoom and zoom.
Globalpix videos
Two videos document how the pixel images are created. In the first, the art company Globalpix is presented in the style of a docu-soap, which moved its production years ago to Nowa Huta in Poland and is now thinking about moving further east to Ukraine, where the labor force is even cheaper. The fictional company Globalpix serves as a vehicle for dealing with working and production conditions as they are in the respective social context. The first long-term production site of Globalpix under the auspices of Lowtec - financed by JobCenter - is the subject of the second video. It shows the participants of the measure at work. In an interview, the Managing Director of GFMB and Lowtec explains aspects of employment in the second labor market, its effects and opportunities. The Globalpix format thus contributes to the artistic investigation of the globalized world and focusses on the transformation of labor resulting from globalization and the associated shifting of power relations.

Marian Czapla is considered one of the most important contemporary Polish painters; he was a co-founder of the artist group Sympleks S4, who influenced the Polish art scene in the 1970s in addition to Krzysztof Wachowiak. Works by Zbigniew M. Dowgiałło, the leading representative of the Polish "Neue Wilden" of the 1980s are also shown. In addition to those already mentioned, the Warsaw artists Czesław Radzki, Andrzej Podkański, Andrzej Rysiński, Artur Winiarski and Beata Tomczyk-Sokołowska will also be involved.
The name of the exhibition is not a coincidence, as the selection of the twelve artists who have joined together for the project "Warschauer Kunstkraftwerke" represents the amazing power and expressiveness of Polish contemporary painting. In addition to a creative exploration of the past, the artists also refer to topics of the present, such as technology or climate warming.
