Als Special Guest hat die Gautinger Malerin Susanne Kotrus einige der Venedig-Fotos des Fotografen Michael Nguyen als Lithografien verarbeitet. Und unter dem Motto "Gauting im Fenster" ist auf einem Bildschirm eine Auswahl der früheren Aufnahmen aus Gauting zu sehen, von außen, ohne dass man zu den Öffnungszeiten des Bosco-Büros hineingehen muss.
German artist, Susanne Kotrus, takes four Venice photographs from the series "By the Roadside" by Michael Nguyen as the basis for her transfer lithographs. She shows art projects of photography and their printing "transformation".
Transfer lithography is an adventure. With this technique, motifs can be transferred into artistic works with the help of laser copies. This can be complemented by drawings, painting and collage techniques. There are no limits to creativity.
The artworks will be shown for the first time in the exhibition "By the Roadside" by Michael Nguyen.

Bild und Ab Bild NEUWERK sind Susanne Kotrus & Michael Nguyen. Neuwerk wurde 2021 gegründet und präsentiert Kunstprojekte der Fotografie und ihre drucktechnische “Verwandlung”.
A face fascinates, reveals and unveils. It has many facets, poses riddles, tells a story, provides insights, shows facets of a subjective view. Faces are monotypes and therefore unique. In the current series Faces, Susanne Kotrus deals with monotypes. Instead of paper or canvas, monotypes are drawn or painted on glass, acrylic or metal plates. The wet colour is then printed directly onto the paper. Only one print is produced - a monoprint.
Nothing is entirely new. From the beginning of the universe, things have been copying each other, developing from each other, carrying information of each other through space and time. The light from a faraway star. A drop in the Atlantic Ocean. The bits of our emails through the Internet. Our DNA. Your heartbeats and mine.
This soul transmission is the core of Susanne’s works. They prove that despite being though multiple processes (from reality to photos, from photos to other media, and so on) the soul of places, things and people is still present in the final works but with another new dimension, other colors, new meanings and merged with the soul of the artist.
