Patricia Dauder

The will to see and to represent beyond the immediate surrounding visible and object world is the urge that conducts Patricia Dauder’s work. She captures and visualizes what is extremely difficult to retain: time, a fleeting moment, an ephemeral trajectory, an idea, something with no form, a remote place. Her work is essentially visual, a common feature to all the media she uses, whether they are three-dimensional objects, drawings, photos, films, or collected images. Their interpretation does not come through a narrative or textual source but solely through observation, which gives way to multiple associations and subtle meanings. Biomorphic traces, elliptically shaped images, gridded linear constructions, references to natural elements mix with allusions to cinematography, experienced as a tool for the observation and for the sequencing of space and time.

Patricia Dauder (born 1973, Barcelona, Spain) studied at the School of Fine Arts in Barcelona, Spain. Recent exhibitions include Lugares Comprometidos: Topografía y Actualidad, Fundación ICO, Madrid, Spain; Los Tiempos de un Lugar, CDAN, Centro de Arte y Naturaleza, Huesca, Spain; Horitzontal/Orbital, Fundació Suñol, Barcelona; Teahupoo, ProjecteSD Gallery, Barcelona; There is No(w) Romanticism, Galerie Les Filles du Calvaire, Brussels, Belgium; Eté 2009, Galerie Jocelyn Wolff, Paris, France; Patricia Dauder and Dani Gal, Galerie Kadel Willborn, Kalsruhe, Germany and 1979: a monument to radical moments; La Virreina, Centre de la Imatge, Barcelona.

Daniel Permanetter

There are no dependable records about the relationship between Robert Allen Zimmerman (born 1941 alias Bob Dylan) and Daniel Permanetter. In the videos (amongst others My 115th Dream, 2008 and The Beauty Parlor, 2010) the two meet again and again in short, everyday settings. On a bus, in a movie theater and without converging in any plausible way. What interlinks the two is something deeply human, the impossibility to express your own observations and to deal with the great and finally unanswered questions of life, love, beauty and death by telling stories.

Daniel Permanetter (born 1977, Starnberg, Germany) graduated from the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Munich, Germany, where he lives and works.
