GERMAN IN GLASGOW
VERY INTERESTING AND UP-TO-DATE APPROACH, LAUSCHMANN EMBRACES THE 'CATCH ALL' CREATIVE THAT SEEMS TO BE QUITE THE TREND IN NEW AND DEVELOPING ARTISTS NOW. DIPPING IN AND OUT OF GALLERY EXHIBITIONS, FILM MAKING, LIVE PERFORMANCE, THORSTEN INVESTIGATES THE UNDERPINNING MECHANICS OF OUR HIGH-TECH WORLD.
HIS WORK UTILISING MAX MSP AND IMAGE/MOVEMENT ACTIVATED CONTROLLING WAS VERY INTERESTING, AND A GREAT THING TO DEVELOP FURTHER IN EXHIBITING ART.
"COLD WATER QUARTET" USES FISH AND A VIDEO LINK TO STIMULATE SOFTWARE INSTRUMENTS AND PLAY MUSIC. 'SINGLE FISH' ON BASS, 'SPECIAL FISH' ON PIANO AND 'ANIMAL' ON DRUMS.
"MOTHER AND CHILD" PROJECTION ONTO GOLD SURFACE.
THE WORK IS A CONTRADICTORY MOVING, STILL-LIFE. A BEAUTIFUL WORK SHOWING LAUSCHMANN'S WIFE AND NEW BORN SON SLEEPING ON A BED. FRAMED AND DISPLAYED WITH A NOD TO RELIGIOUS IMAGES AND RENAISSANCE PAINTING, CONFLICTS WITH THE BABIES DELICATE AND ERRATIC BREATHING.
THANK YOU TO LAUSCHMANN AND HAWLEY (LAST WEEK) FOR REGAINING MY CONFIDENCE IN THE DREADED 'VIDEO ART'.
