  Karola in Torino Karola Teschler has been a student of the Austrian master Robert Hammerstiel from which she got her strong vibrating colours. The oil colour on her canvas is the only medium that can give such strong and sensitive results. Her subjects are always ’sights’, sights of urban and exotic landscapes, indoor sights, sometimes of art galleries, but always with the presence of a curious observer you can feel in the picture. It’s like to follow Karola around the world to all her excursions, always curious and hungry of new roads to go and new landscapes. Karola Teschler is the founder and president of the ’European Artists Association’ that already organized 6 international Symposiums with known artists, coming from various parts of the world.
icona Dreams How can we fall into our dream? We get the last images passing through our mind, different pieces of problems and things seen during the day. At the beginning they have no sense, then, little by little, we put them together with strange links... A new story starts, a tremendous interesting story about us... So we are in the dream. That's the way I used to help the patiens of the new part of the Ruhrland-Klinik in Essen for the 'Sleep Apnea' to fall into their dreams. I've got 'nearly' all the pieces of the pictures from people and things nearby.
  Rubbered Twins Thanks to Raffaele Palma , who invited me to a very short exhibition on ' THE ERASING ', I could find my ' TWINS '. The canvas was hidden into my cellar well folded up between my old dresses! TWINS was born from the strong emotion of 2001 11 september. During those terrible hours I imagined the  towers like two quiet and smiling young yuppies... with a red point on their forehead all of a sudden... Rubbered. While smiling. But the red point may be in their third eye... Isn'it a way to see the world in a new way?  And the rubbered canvas has the charm of an empty house where we can eventually free all our dreams and creativity.
  NewYork in Torino A direct line links newyorker young artists and Franco Soffiantino's gallery... such as Londoneers artists in Noero's one. The performance was started already, so I started shooting from the large windows outside. Kate Gilmore (born in Washington DC in '72, lives and works in New York) is hurling chairs and old fornitures to the gallery wall... She mounts on this big stack and finally... she can get her little pretty shoe on the top of the wall. She's lovely, so full of energy for such a lovely silly reason. The two videos look masokist but you will actually find something tender.  The price? 8,000 Euros (4 fixed copies each). I asked Rjan Johnson (Karachi, Pakistan,1978, lives and works in New York) to stay near his pasteboard sculptures... He's so looking like his own works that you'll think he's part of them! In the below floor I've found the blond Rachel Owens, from New York as well, born in Atlanta in '72. Her installation, diped into red light, is impressive. A wolfs band all around a fire... It looks a Disney's sight but soon you'll discover the wolfs are without body parts and Raquel  has buit them with 'Fiat  Auto' boxes... Kuang-Yu Tsu (Taipei 1974, lives and works in Amsterdam) is the last artist.  He shows the video we saw in the Biennale di Venezia.  Strong iterations to feel the time passing by.   He avoiding fallig stuff from the top right and left... He rolling with a weel chair on a street... He climbing down mountains of trash... He behaving like the plants the camera is looking to.  The meaning of nonsence.

  Ruggero Aprile di Cimia's last Art Book 'Cultura e Mutazione' is the therd art collection/book from Ruggero Aprile di Cimia after ' Ovazione' e Liberazione '. (Cul is Back in italian... Ovo is Egg and Liber is Book while Liberazione means Freedom). The idea comes, as he kindely tells, from a words joke we made in his studio. This cathalogue has a very hight graphic quality like the others. Here I put all the pictures plus one mine more... The picture on the cathalogue was the last of my drawings, and the second was the first of my new production from the suggestion of this book. Since then I worked only with photo and digital. The arrow of my last drawing left to reach a new amazing period.. Thanks Ruggero.
