max ernst

I came across my copy of max ernst's 'une semaine de bonte', which has got to be one of the most captivating books in my bookcase. I got blown away again. So I decided to make a point of highly recommending it. If you don't have it yet, go get it.

boxer

sparky, i've had enough of your malarkey

Ah hell, i'll just post two today.

success

great success has been achieved in getting the scanner to work!
from now on, i will post again.

Yes, this is the new adress for black ink lab

Due to some reasons i had to change the adress of the black ink lab to www.black-ink-lab.blogspot.com. My scanner is still not up and and running but I hope to fix this problem in the comming days.

scanner cord

The time has come to get a new cord for my scanner. One that works. so far i have been posting my older drawings. A fresh stack is waiting to be scanned, but in order to do so, i need to get that thing up and running. Since i am low on time, it might take a few days.

a larger format, not done with pen but with brush and colourpencil

salvation

new links

I added some new links in the 'tunes' section and the healthy drawing links section.
Sarah van der Pols currently has a show in Ron Mandos gallery in Rotterdam.
I haven't seen it myself yet, but my guess is that it is worth it to go down there.

friday drawing

i came across this add on transartists.nl
open up those drawers and let them out.

ANONYMOUS DRAWINGS N°9
/Call for Entries
December, 20th and 21, 2008

Anonymous Drawings N° 9 – Call for Entries

For the ninth edition of Anonymous Drawings, bl?weiss and Anonymous Drawings will be hosted the first time at Kunstraum Kreuzberg / Bethanien.

Concept

A selection of around 1000 Drawings by international artists will be presented anonymously for the duration of one evening and two days. Every Anonymous Drawings show is preceded by an international open call for entries on the Internet. There are no specifications regarding the content of the works. The artist’s anonymity can be lifted by means of purchasing a drawing for the symbolic unit sales price of 150 EUR. The buyer can take his drawing right off the wall and s/he is then told the name of its author. The empty space the drawing leaves behind will be marked with the artist’s full name. The predefined unit sales price of 150 EUR is not to be understood as a real market price but rather as a „placeholder“ for any possible amount of money. Since exhibited drawings will be work of both established and lay-artists bl?weiss asks the viewer him/herself to draw the line between Art and Non-Art. Typical mechanisms of the art-market, like pricing, the artist’s own ego, and predefined concepts of quality are turned upside down and questioned in an experimental way. The participating artists agree to withdraw themselves and their usual pricing in favor of the subject: the drawing itself.

Deadline for submission:October 31, 2008 (postmark)

The artists receive 100 EUR of the sale-price of one drawing. The other 50 EUR will be used by Kunstraum Kreuzberg / Bethanien and bl?weiss for the realization of further exhibitions and projects.

This Call and the application form is available for download at: http://www.bluetenweiss-berlin.de/en/call.html
