Seit dem Ausstellungs- und Kulturprojekt "Eight Days A Week"
1998 besteht eine intensive Beziehung zwischen der Kunstszene in Liverpool
und Kölner Künstlern. Diese Verbindung soll durch eine Ausstellung
im Kulturbunker fortgesetzt werden, indem jeweils zwei Künstler
aus Köln und aus Liverpool Arbeiten zeigen, die durch ein beziehungsreiches
Geflecht miteinander verbunden sind. Aus verschiedenen Positionen
der Malerei nähern sich die Künstler in Form eines Dialogs.
Als Gast zeigt die Liverpooler Künstlerin Margaretha Schöning
ein Video, das die Sprache der abstrakten Farbkomposition im filmischen
fortführt. Pete
Clarke ist Dozent für Malerei in Preston. Er benutzt in seinen
Arbeiten Zitate aus Gemälden der Kunstgeschichte: Landschaften
und Architekturen werden einer collageartigen Malerei gegenübergestellt.
Wortfragmente aus Texten des Alltags suggerieren weitere Bilder im
Kopf des Betrachters und verbinden so Alltag, Geschichte und individuelle
Sichtweisen. Georg Gartz hat freie Malerei an der Fachhochschule Köln studiert, lebt und arbeitet in Köln. In zahlreichen Ausstellungen innerhalb und außerhalb Kölns hat er die Vielfalt seines künstlerischen Schaffens gezeigt. Er ist 1998 Mitinitiator des Projektes: "Eight Days A Week" und arbeitet seit 1999 zusammen mit dem Liverpooler Maler Pete Clarke. Tine
