A childhood in the suburbs of Orange County with regular visits to Disneyland does sound like a dream of candy floss and pink netlace. Punk concerts and William S. Burroughs cut-up literature not so much. Camille Rose Garcia’s wicked artworks do have both sides in them, creating a „broken narrative painting of wasteland fairytales“ which stages the witch in the fairytale rather than the princess.

Painted escapism by Lois Wallace
Lois Wallace does create reclusive dreams by evolving her paintings from photographs and thereby building a beautiful narrative through the act of painting. This is maybe why her artworks seem for one thing within actual reach and at the same time completely artificial. Pure compressed wanderlust.

La Biennale di Venezia 2017
It is THE art festival in Europe and I’ve been urging to visit la Biennale di Venezia since I first heard of it. Since I have moved to southern Germany a couple of months ago, a visit was finally within reach. In the end I only spend a good 48hours in Venice, but the impressions felt like it had been 2 entire weeks. So much great art accumalated in one small city – it was definitely worth a visit and I already saved the date for the next Art Biennale in 2019.
