Now about my second additional website which has also been redesigned johannesgerard-printedmatters.jimdosite. The site focuses solely on printmaking. In general I publish printmaking here that differs by style, subject matter and purpose from my other visual artwork and projects that I usually create. Besides some linocuts and drypoint etchings, this site contains mostly minimalist, conceptual and several very colorful figurative and semi-figurative prints. The ideas for the prints originally came from designs for wall paintings. The prints tend more towards a decorative style but still have their own character and tension. Another feature is that almost all of these prints are square format and abstract in style, except for the linocuts and drypoint works. Just like my photography website, this site is also an informative addition to my Etsy online shop.

 At the moment I run two simple additional websites beside my general personal webite and my site on vimeo. One site focuses on photography and other  on printmaking. Last week I redesigned the photography website johannesgerard-images. The work presented on the website shows a range of styles including nudes, landscapes and seascapes, urban subjects and floral motifs. At the same time, the website is an informational supplement to my online Etsy shop, so this website focuses more on my photography work from a direct photographic perspective and a decorative angle.

Erotismi tra Utopia e Distopia II - Eroticism between Utopia and Dystopia II

A selection of photographic works from the erotic art segment of my ongoing portfolio, "A State Of Bared" will be shown in the exhibition

Erotismi tra Utopia e Distopia II - Eroticism between Utopia and Dystopia II

03/12/ - 14/12/2024 - opening 03/12/2024

OGA - Ospizio Giovani Artisti,

via Cernaia 15, Rome, Italy

This exhibition aims to offer a small journey through the intricate realms of human desire where the boundaries between utopia and dystopia blur and sensuality is intertwined with uncertainty. Works that explore the dichotomy of eroticism: a force that is both beautiful and disturbing. From idealized landscapes of utopian pleasure to the shadows of dystopian control this exhibition seeks to delve into the complexity of our most primal instincts. A delicate balance between liberation and constraint pleasure and danger. Provocative themes to challenge social norms and reflect on the profound impact of eroticism on the human psyche. Whether you are drawn to the euphoric visions of utopia or the haunting echoes of dystopia this exhibition invites you to engage in a dialogue that transcends borders and delves into the essence of human desire.

Curator Werther Germondari

Artists: Leo Carreño, Hakan Erdogan, Ruben Fabbri, Andy Flipegg, Johannes C. Gerard, Werther Germondari, Michael Knoten, Silvia Marcantoni Taddei.

New works and motifs in my online shop

New works and motifs in my online shop. All new works are physical and original in contrast to my digital dowload works which are already available in my shop which can be downloaded directly

The works presented in this shop are a little different from my other general works that I create as a visual artist. The motifs are more colorful and include a wide range of styles and motifs. From abstract to figurative, from monochrome to very colorful. Including nude, urban and nature motifs. In addition, the preferred representation of the subjects of most of my works are in square and round formats, just to make them a little distinctive and individual. Finally, the scale and size of the physical/original works fall into the miniature category, none of the square formats are larger than 20 x 20 cm or 30 x 21 cm for the rectangular formats.

LUSTED MEN Book

 One of my photographic works entitled “By The Lakeside I” from my ongoing portfolio A State of Bared is published in the book LUSTED MEN

Where are the erotic photographs of men? Once we become aware of this question, it is difficult not to realize the absence of these images in our visual culture. Because if women, their image and their bodies are too often sexualized and eroticized, those of men are rather absent. Another story of domination of the heterosexual male gaze that would like to dictate our desires and our representations since always! So in 2019, a small group of women came together around this question. Photographers, researchers, art workers, feminist activists, and they said to themselves that we would launch a collection to invite everyone to photograph men and explore the political power of eroticism. This year 2024, part of this participatory photographic collection is for the first time brought together in a magnificent photo book signed LUSTED MEN. With more than 700 photos, accompanied by a selection of testimonies, a manifesto of the collective, an anthropological study, a text retracing the history of the LUSTED MEN community and an afterword written by our sponsor @maiamazaurette. In short, the book Lusted Men is a feminist photographic investigation, at the crossroads of art, research and visual activism.

LUSTED MEN / 2024 / Text mostly in French / Editor: Maia Mazaurette / Publisher : Gallimard - Les Éditions Hoëbeke , 75007 Paris, France (700 photos 768 pages)

Fonlad Festival Internacional de Video Art & Performance

Fonlad

Festival Internacional de Video Art & Performance

Coimbra, Portugal

The programme of screenings will take place at various indoor and outdoor locations in Coimbra, as well as online. Among others : Républica da Praça / Pátio da Inquisição / CAV /

The Festival aims to promote and encourage artistic creation at the level of the new media, with special emphasis on video art and performance, through presentations, exhibitions, on-line shows, installations, workshops, residences and performances.

About “all the sadness to be”

Memory, grief and resilience. We also understand memory as a complete function, formed by two contradictory elements that include remembering and forgetting. One of the questions that we strive to articulate with you is to think about the limits between both elements of memory and forgetfulness. Does memory really exist? Or is it a subconscious action as a way to avoid remember a traumatic event? How do we remember? Do we remember through our senses or through our body? Is remembering a perception of the mind or the heart? What is remembering one more time?

“Dark Paths”

A visual metaphor for an indefinable latent threat. Present in an environment with no open exit.The search for a path that allows us to leave the threatening and hostile environment. Even the open sky is no relief as it too became part of a repellent environment.
