Rania Ezzat's "Yellow Ball" 8th - 21st of March, 2010

Text by Albert Allgaier

Carbon 12 proudly presents the installation "Yellow Ball" by Rania Ezzat. Like Khepri, the scarab beetle god, renewed the sun every day to carry it through the other world after sunset, Ezzat's installation deals with the signs of eternal renewal and re-emergence of life, a reminder of our past and the life to come.

Crossing through deserts and streets, from chaos to order and back, "Yellow Ball" is literally a rolling kilometer of work. But as Albert Camus reminds us: "The struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man's heart." The combination of the notion of time and space, effort and achievement is paying homage to workers and work itself.

Because one must imagine Sisyphus as a happy man!

Tobias Lehner "Pluton" from Feb 22nd - March 21st, 2010

The position of “Pluton” resembles the imaginary perspective of the planet itself: the ending point of the system we inhabit, the starting point for dimensions completely unknown. Similar to the planet being on the inside and the outside of our system, Lehner’s paintings drift between figuration and abstraction: a tour de force through the history of painting, with influences ranging from abstract electronica to milestones of modernity. The unmatched skills of complex composition and visual density make this show not only a unique aesthetic experience but also provide intellectual input to reconsider the principals of painting today.
