Artist Statement:
Eva Duerden aims to create a perpetual feeling of novice-hood. The works employ symbols and aesthetics from memories, reamalgmating them to create novel approaches from the user/viewer, to create contradictions, double takes, and (mis)understandings. Fascinated by how we categorise and standardise objects, how they belong to hierarchies of value by mode, material, and context, determining their ‘correctness’, Eva aims to highlight the performativity that permeates these objects and, in turn, ourselves when we engage with them.
In May 2021, the Kolonie Weddingexhibition took place in Centrul de Interes, Cluj-Napoca, Romania. The exhibition took place as a result of personal contact between I. Zaidel and Florin Stefan.

Liquid Lunch exhibition. This was second exhibition in the Versus series.
The exhibition was at the BAS CS Gallery as part of Kolony Wedding e. V. . The formal art theme of the exhibition was work done exclusively with either liquid or solid paints. The theme of the exhibition was our daily bread and drink. In addition to numerous works of our contemporaries, the works of people who have left our world was also shown. The topic of the work is devoted to either solid or liquid food of humanity or around it. From sugar to beer from fish to milk from teeth to … well, you already understand. In addition to traditional genres of art such as painting, graphics and sculpture, various drinks and solid food was also on display. Many thanks to the Vinogradov Gallery, the Kabinett Auktion House and the SBKG school for technical and moral support.
Eine Ausstellung zu dem Thema „patriarchalischen Auswirkungen auf die jetzige Weltordnung“. Medien, die uns umgeben, sind von männlichen Belangen geprägt. Macht ist Liebe, meinen einige immer noch. In der interaktiven Ausstellung wird die Diversität der Druckmedien dargestellt, die unseren Alltag füllt. Dabei hinterfragt das Konzept die symbolische Deutung der Charaktere und der Abbildungen.
Zäune, Zölle und Staubsauger, diese Dinge umgeben uns und geben das Lebenstempo vor. Dabei ändern sich mediale Texte, doch weniger die dazu gehörende Bilder. Diesen Fragen geht die Ausstellung nach.
Vernissage 13.01.2023 18:00-22:00 musikalische Begleitung: Doe Padre
Miriam Bork is a costume designer who works with fabric as an artist and sculptor at the same time. The Iraqi painter Younis Al Azzawy, a virtuoso painter and draftsman, who has been living in Berlin since the early 1980s, processes daring experiences of human existence in his acrylic paintings. Eva-Maria Rölke – graced the opening with keyboarding.
The paintings of Younis Al Azzawy are full of eroticism and voirism. They trace a reference to Egon Scheli and Luciano Freud with some salon touch and a share of self-irony.
Knitted underwear from Miriam Bork perfectly complemented the exposition, bringing to it either a museum or a forensic flavor. At the opening, the ironic pathos of the visual was supported by the performance of classical music by pianist Eva-Maria Rölke
