Invitation 'Enter into Art' International Installations - Miniprint and Mixed Media, Germany "5th 'Enter into Art' International Installations + Touring the World through Art."



Invitation 'Enter into Art' International Installations - Miniprint and Mixed Media, Germany 
Dear Patricia Gaspar,
We kindly invite you to take part in our exhibitions in Germany.





We are pleased to announce the vernissage of our second Prelude exhibition in Bernkastel-Kues on the river Moselle. It will take place on Sunday morning, February 10, 2019 at 11 o'clock. We look forward to your visit whenever you can make it!

    The vernissage will feature a cultural program including a poetry reading, films, and music. More information and photos will be published during the first week of the exhibition. As you can gather from the new poster, the exhibition period in Bernkastel-Kues has been extended until April 7, 2019, meaning, the exhibition on this picturesque river can be enjoyed four weeks longer! We hope you are as pleased about this precious additional time as we are.

    New: Due to water damage, the exhibition in Nassau will be relocated to Bad Ems. Instead of Nassau, the exhibition will now take place in the district administration’s townhall foyer of Bad Ems, a luxurious spa town on the river Lahn, in July 2019 (4 weeks). We will send you a separate flyer containing more detailed information later - currently, all our efforts are going toward the exhibition at the Cusanus Museum. Thank you for your understanding!

Best regards, Kurt and Gabriele

Metal Salmon, and Dragonfly in the forest.




Metal Salmon, and Dragonfly in the forest.

"
I really enjoyed this work, not only the process of art in itself, specially because I could follow closely the Salmon cycle, which revealed that me, how we are part of this World that we all share, and everyone, every creature, plant, and rock, is a key piece, in this vital link: " Our existence."
Since a beautiful, and  delicate rosy little egg,  a new fish starts to grow in the stream, showing golden brownish almost gold colors. At that time, we celebrate Salmon Leave Home when the small fish, proceeds to the river, in which lives for a certain time. From the river, sets out to the sea, and here, this fish, becomes as an adult with an incredible silvery reflections in their skin between olive green and deep blue.
There, at the sea, salmons, spend a few years, and when it's time to hatch their eggs, they return to the same stream where they were born. Together they start a long journey that we call Salmon come Home.

After days swimming upstream water, they are back to the creek. Then, the female fish seek a quiet place among the rock, to lay their eggs, and the males follow them, in order to fecund the them.
Once, they fulfilled their mission, they die in the creek, thus closing the cycle and giving life to a new one that begins.
This is my humble tribute to one of the many wonders of Nature, which does not cease to be amazed and excited about wise work.


The metal fish, was a silent witness the magic forest that surrounds the creek, Full Mom nights, snow, rain, and Salmon living  ,and coming Home. In both events, all Coquitlam community, and Kwikwetlem first Nation people, principally, get together, in order to celebrate every year Salmon Leave Home, and Salmon Come Home. Kwikwetlem means "red fish up the river".
