White to Black, Or Black to White

Tanja Boukal has done it again. One might think, now she has run out of ideas how use her knitting and embroidery techniques to make art with them, when she turns around and shows us once again, this time with plates covered in Organza and then embroidered with emergency measures in case of a nuclear fallout. These plates decorate the second room at Galerie Eboran where her current exhibition opened this Thursday, much like fancy plates would in a bourgeois household.

The entrance room, where the exhibition was also opened by Ulrike Guggenberger and Gabriele Winter, is given completely to one piece entitled Pandora's box. Bubbles traverse the room, tying together two ends of a spectrum - good and bad, innocent and corrupt - all the extremes that make the world revolve around their constant push and pull. Where is the beginning, and where is the end? I don't want to give away too much now, though, so you best see this truly interesting exhibition for yourself. It can be visited at Galerie Eboran until the 2nd of September. [mp]
