"The works of The Seventh Wave are pairs of photographs each with precisely the same cropping and angle of view… The camera is on a tripod. I first take one photograph, and after a while another. I have wanted to vary the interval, keeping it "unscientific" and even indefinite. Anything between two seconds and six hours can pass between the moments when the pictures were taken.

In some of the pairs, the difference can be seen easily, while in others it is less obvious. Even in the blink of an eye, many atoms will revolve, a grasshopper can leap, and a glimmer of light can change place."

The autumn season at Galerie Anhava begins with ”CONTEMPORARY NOW!" displaying works by five artists. It will present topical art of various kinds that is literally being made at the present moment by young, or not so old, artists of different countries and continents.  They are all interesting and good artists in their own ways, and I am certain that we will hear more about them in the future.

The pictures of this exhibition are from the collections of a Swedish archive focusing on racial research, which was particularly active from the 1920s ...

Kristian Kozul (born 1975 in Munich) is a Croat artist, who held his first showing at Galerie Anhava in 2005. The theme at the time was the processing of mundane objects related to nursing and disabilities into glimmering opulent sculpture with the aid of glass mosaics, beads and feathers.
 
Kozul later moved to New York and the title of his present exhibition "Americana" addresses the iconography of the American West, which Kozul – like us – views on the one hand as an outsider and on the other hand as almost everyday material presented in films and other popular culture.  The stirrup boots, w...
