Vollrad Kutscher, "Leuchtende Vorbilder".		Ralph Ueltzhoeffer, "MISSING"

Forum für Lichtkunst und Architektur - GLOW, Eindhoven 2009

Vollrad Kutscher
Projekt: Leuchtende Vorbilder
Ort: Former Post-office

With his works Vollrad Kutscher educes a visual repertoire of philosophical reflection of the contemporary. Referring to the present development of individuals and their society, guiding ideas and achievments, ethics and anchorpoints of identities, the works of Vollrad Kutscher emerge from a multitude of artistic media, amongst others are drawing, painting and photography, plastic arts, projection and performances. He alludes to material qualities to question their significance and sense-makings in their visual aspects, he reveals his installations and interventions to focus on positioning in and to challenge responsibility for cultural development.

With the installation “Leuchtende Vorbilder” (Shining Examples) the former post office becomes a public archive. In reference to the history of the engineering of artificial electricity and light Vollrad Kutscher turns the main hall into a portrait gallery. André Marie Ampère, Luigi Galvani, Alessandro Volta and James Watt are among those, who appear on the walls of the former post-office. Their effigies are painted on glass bulbs, lit by halogen lamps and projected. Being all made of artificial light they connect in space and time.

Ralph Ueltzhoeffer
Projekt: Text Portrait MISSING
Ort: De Bijenkorf

Ralph Ueltzhoeffer’s artistic research is dedicated to the relationship of visual and written information in the digital sphere and their relevance for the beliefs one produces from these data. His search for new forms synchronizing visual and written information reacts and reflects on the internet as an open and central source of information in times of globalization and digitalization of data. In the synopses of visible and readable information he engenders visuals which require new perceptional approaches.

In the “Text Portraits” images and words are equally used to generate a portrait, understood as the visual representation of an individual. On display during GLOW are portraits for which Ralph Ueltzhoeffer has taken photographic portraits of randomly chosen citizens of Eindhoven. Combining the miscellaneous digital information he composes portraits using the word ”missing” referring to the trait of human cognition to hide daily routine perceptions in “blind spots”.
