But what if reference becomes appropriation? What if artists make works wholly their own by overpainting or obliteration, or put their hand to works of others on a symbolic level by reenactment, extrapolation, or translation to other media? A comprehensive group exhibition is dedicated to this art of appropriation. The show focuses on works that are based on the symbolic or physical appropriation of other artworks. On the surface, this may appear anachronistic, as we are living today in the age of a raging storm of media images that iconoclastically brings any visual material to the same level of meaning. But precisely in light of those virtually unlimited possibilities, the appropriation of works of art and thus of a comparatively small and, what is more, highly charged segment of image production raises intriguing questions that would not pose themselves with respect to the integration of nonart material. Like a burning glass, it facilitates a concentrated contemplation of the various aspects of appropriation, providing an equally eloquent and insightful commentary on the field of art and its reference systems. In a juxtaposition of historic works of Appropriation Art, current positions, and works that have, in part, previously not been viewed from this angle, the art of appropriation is analyzed in its unique complexity. There is consciously no interpretive categorization of appropriation strategies in terms of homage or persiflage as this would confine the potential associative range of each individual work. What is in the foreground instead is the element of choice and with it, the idea of being affected by a given work of art that informs any specific act of appropriation.

Late last month we were informed that they had filed for bankruptcy (unrelated to COVID-19). Paddle8 has not paid out any of the funds we raised, which total $20,760.We’ve been robbed. Prairie relies on fundraiser proceeds to keep our doors open. We won't know the outcome of Paddle8’s bankruptcy case for 9-12 months and it is our understanding that we will receive pennies on the dollar of what we are owed, if anything at all. Without these funds we cannot continue.We are asking for your help. We also recognize that this is a terrible time to do so. Many are hurting due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its repercussions, ourselves included. We believe that art is essential for generating ideas, processing reality, and building community—all things that are of the utmost importance right now.With your help Prairie will continue to support artists through our exhibition program—including planned presentations this year with Bea Fremderman, Faysal Altunbozar, ektor garcia, Ralf Pflugfelder and Suzanna Zak. We humbly ask you donate whatever you can. Anything helps. — https://ralfpflugfelder.de/Bios Tue, 05 May 2020 19:56:01 +0000 Ralf Pflugfelder https://ralfpflugfelder.de/Bios Bios Adaptation and appropriation of 100 artists’ Bios. in Typeface Prophet 119 x 84 cm Individually Framed — <img width="1063" height="797" width_o="1063" height_o="797" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/103953475c31ea5e467f247f53bc0610a7788f4ee1f393376c2fb5acbefa6b0d/RP-Ralf-Pflugfelder-Bios.jpg" data-mid="69794575" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/103953475c31ea5e467f247f53bc0610a7788f4ee1f393376c2fb5acbefa6b0d/RP-Ralf-Pflugfelder-Bios.jpg" /> Born in 1987, RP is an artist who doesn’t stop to travel around the world in order to find inspiration and give to her art this depth provided by the observation of new things. She can start a new work, a new research from scratch. What is important before all, is the transfer between real to art, transformation produced between what she sees and what she feels. She always had a certain ease regarding artistic expression of things, that’s why she choose to spend a part of her studies in the field of Art and the other one in Literature. Although she started to paint with oil painting, she would prefer thereafter using acrylic which would answer much better to the translation of her inner universe. She likes working materials, colours and even more, the particular ambiance of these pictures, which prove to be particularly oneiric. Her sensitivity for music is one of the recurrence we can find in her piece of work, she likes to attempt to capture beauty which comes from notes which evaporate in time and fix it in eternity of colours lying on the canvas. Finally art is far more than a work or a passion for her, it is also a remedy able to heal no matter the wound of soul.
