smash the ghetto by DEMOCRACIA
Democracia have participated in numerous museum shows including the recent show curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist with artists such as Cy Twombly, Gilbert & George and Doug Gordon et al (Casa Museo Federico Garcia Lorca, Granada), as well as the Taipei Biennale 2008.
In 2007, the Madrid City Council decided that El Salobral, one of Europe's largest shanty towns located on the southern outskirts of Madrid, should be demolished and its inhabitants rehoused. "Smash The Ghetto" is a video and photography installation documenting the demolition of these slum districts.
Parallel to this solo show the gallery is presenting individual projects by the artists Maslen & Mehra, Daniel Canogar and Li Wei.
Maslen & Mehra are exhibiting their latest installation which emulates the free-standing military recruitment office at Times Square, New York. It includes the giant neon flag on the side of the building and the similar placement of the screen on the front of the structure. The artists work can also be seen at PICA "Silver - Artrage 25", Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts (until Nov. 23, 2008). Their work can also be seen at the Lianzhou International Photography Festival, China Dec 2008.

Du dépouillement des clichés de Catherine Lambermont se dégage une poésie narrative. Ses images composent une suite d’instants d’observation libre. Son travail réhabilite le continuum qui caractérise chaque frontière. La frontière est le lieu du lien. Entre le corps et l’es...
Eric Rondepierre a choisi de montrer au sein d'un travail multiforme, certaines des oeuvres qui ont partie liée au cinéma, depuis ses débuts en 1992. Sur un parcours de vingt ans, 56 pièces ont été prélevées dans dix séries : Excédents, Annonces, Précis...
Simone Nieweg is a photographer of gardens and landscapes. Her work, as it has manifested itself over the past thirty years, knows no other interest. At the same time, a certain serenity hovers over her pictures. In them, nature seems entirely focused on itself. One immediately notices that human beings are absent. The allure of colors and shapes...
« Je ne peux m’empêcher, atteste Gérard Uféras, d’associer la pratique de l’Art à la notion d’amour et de partage ». (extrait de son livre Etats de grâce, éditions du Fantom)
«Egyptian pack» evokes many associations - here are both Petersburgers favorite topic of werewolves (see the movie of E. Yufit «Corpsmen werewolves») and references to the Perm animal style.
Also we can recall British film «The Wicker Man» (1973) with its ritual procession of the man-beasts, ho...
