In may 2009 Diddo was inspired by the Jim Morrison quote: “I just want to get my kicks before the whole shit house goes up in flames.”(Dom Pierre Pérignon (c. 1638–14 September 1715) was a Benedictine monk who made important contributions to the production and quality of Champagne wine in an era when the region’s wines were predominantly still and red. Popular myths frequently, but erroneously, credit him with the invention of sparkling Champagne, which didn’t become the dominant style of Champagne until mid-19th century).

Dynamic color, striking painterly expressions and monumental installations that move beyond canvases and take over exhibition and public spaces make up the work of Berlin-based artist Katharina Grosse. Splashes of fluoro saturated greens, yellows, reds and blues overwhelm three-dimensional objects as mounds of earth, modelled styrofoam, building facades and massive sculptural objects are bathed in iridescent color. Her weapon of choice: an industrial spray gun.

Katharina is concerned with tangible, immersive spaces combined with the accumulation of painted gestures – taking the medium far beyond its traditional domain. Her spatio-temporal musings allude to imaginative panoramas, complex narratives and empirical space. This confident control of color and orchestration of spaces finds parallels with the artist’s own personal assurance and composure when discussing her work. Having held exhibitions at the Palais de Tokyo, Paris; Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, North Adams; UCLA Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; and the Queensland Art Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane, Katharina has built a broad reaching international reputation. Equally accomplished in the academic realm, she held the post of professor at the Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weißensee for a decade and her deep knowledge of the arts continues to inform her work.

Bathed in the peaceful light of her studio we listen to Katharina discuss her working process and approach to creating. While discussing her latest projects and experimentation with new materials she shares what she loves about her custom built Bauhaus-style working space – a structure without rooms – designed by Berlin architectural firm Augustin und Frank. Following our studio visit, we accompany Katharina to the private Sammlung Hoffmann collection in Mitte, Berlin and admire her work on display.

Informally known as “Ronchamp”, the chapel of Notre Dame du Haut in Ronchamp (French: Chapelle Notre-Dame-du-Haut de Ronchamp), completed in 1954, is one of the finest examples of the architecture  of Franco-Swiss architect Le Corbusier and one of the most important examples of twentieth-century religious architecture. Notre Dame du Haut was thought of as a more extreme design of Le Corbusier’s late style. The chapel is a simple design with two entrances, a main altar, and three chapels beneath towers. Although the building is small, it is powerful and complex. The chapel is the latest of chapels at the site. The previous chapel was completely destroyed there during World War II. The previous building was a 4th century Christian chapel. But, at the time the new building was being constructed, Corbusier wasn’t exactly interested in “Machine Age” architecture. He felt his style was more primitive and sculptural, so he decided to build something more interesting

framed through the windows of the moving train, the large-scale public artwork generates a real-time landscape painting that explores shifting scale, perspective and the passage of time.

One of the advantages to the window seat of an airplane is the view below. Flying 35,000 feet above the sky, you see a miniaturized landscape that’s a combination of mixtures of shapes and textures. It’s devoid of the finer details and has the appearance of an abstract painting. Photographer William Rugen captures these type of fractured scenes in his series of images titled Here > There. The monochromatic photographs show roads, fields, and cities in an up-close way that they don’t immediately appear as what they actually are.

We’ve recently seen the dystopian, dizzying effect that aerial photographs have on highways. Rugen’s photographs are disorienting at times, but there is a semblance of structure in the haphazard-looking scenes. Lines of the road fracture and corral the different (yet similar) shapes of the ground and break them up like a cubist painting. They reveal a patchwork of stories, development, and planning, which is inevitably the same wherever you travel, no matter what the physical differences might be.
