Golden Shower
In sociological research, “golden shower” is seen to be connected to the every more ubiquitious emanations of the porn industry. This is only one of many elements in the topic of how relationships between people take shape and how remuneration will play a role in them when business is intruding every aspect of human relationships. Nowadays this can also be seen in how nursing homes are converted into soulless business ventures and old age becomes a field for financial exploitation. The group exhibition “Golden Shower” will focus on instances of commercialization of human relationships; how the visual world and social media are flooded by images of the porn industry. Works in a variety of media – painting, installation, video, sculpture, photography, drawing, and performance – will pose questions and provide different approaches to answers or interpretations.
deutsch
Die Gruppenausstellung “Golden Shower” thematisiert künstlerisch die zunehmende Kommerzialisierung zwischenmenschlicher Beziehungen. Ob im Internet (soziale Netzwerke, Pornoindustrie), in Altersheimen oder in Krankenhäusern, Profitabilität ist ein Faktor, der das Zwischenmenschliche heutzutage mitgestaltet. In der kuratierten Ausstellung werden sieben künstlerische Positionen in unterschiedlichen Medien (Malerei, Installation, Video, Skulptur, Fotografie, Grafik und Performance) präsentiert.

Ember
Ember is a group of huge empty black sacks sewed by hand from tarpaper and paper string. To me these sacks are enormous coal embers that glow in the dark and cold evening. The idea for sacks came from a task of making a work that would illustrate the amount of carbon dioxide produced each year by a Finnish family of four. I thought barbecue parties and the sacks full off black dusty coal. I recall the fire place where the last glow fades away.

”History is a set of lies agreed upon”
Napoleon Bonaparte
No worries there mr. Bonaparte man, I’m with you, I’m mean after the 9/11, (building 7!!!), and all the false flags and crisis actors and duper’s delights the ”Official Narrative” don’t seem so official narrative anymore.
So Berlin, what a city, Germany what a history
Berlin was bombed to smithereens by allies and ruskies was closing in
and then, there is the holocaust. Well how very silly of me to think that I´d get
some answers to that one. I mean revisionism is illegal in Germany. So this
time the official narrative is enforced by the law. I guess usa is still the
romantic way of putting it. Well fuck it Wendy, let´s go bowling, I mean really
bowling.
When Hillary Clinton, we-came-we-saw-and-he-died on Muammar
Gaddafi´s ass back in 2011, not only she destroyed Libya, but also she
started the European migrant crisis. Last thing Muammar said from his drain
pipe was, ”pump the breaks, if you’ll kill me now, the Europe will go black”.
Killary didn’t listen, so here we are. In most of the European countries the
fertility rates are falling and we are facing a ”baby bust”, which means there
are insufficient amount of children to maintain the country`s population size.
How many years till the ethnic Germans and its culture dies out.
How fast can European countries disappear? Is it important anymore to have
your culture, identify yourself with a certain nationality? I don’t know. Let’s
just fast forward to the future where everybody’s living in a mega cities,
because sure its convenient and its illegal to go past city limits, because the
rest of the country is wildlife preserve area to save us from the climate
change.
Tho AOC thinks we´re dead in 12.

Artwork: Simo Ripatti
Drying Room is a rendition of the classification that we use to perceive the world and to create various groupings and structures. It does not aim to define the concept of classification or even its necessity. Rather, it serves as a basis for examing questions of this nature. Drying Room reveals the notability of space, artwork, perception and the moment of it as the parts of the knowledge.
Simo Ripatti (b. 1975) is a Finnish visual artist. Studied at the sculpture department of the Finnish Academy of fine arts, Helsinki and Institute of fine Arts, Lahti, Finland.

Pilvi Ojala, paintings
Pilvi Ojala (b. 1973) observes inner drama in a calm, almost restrained way. In her recent works she depicts her dreams and feelings, making use of a long tradition of religious and mythological imagery.The strong connection to art history paired with an almost ruthless introspection gives these self portraits a strange, ambigious quality. Life is tragic, angst a daily companion, sorrow so ordinary it needs a body of it´s own. But when Ojala puts her figures in the limeligth of her small stages, it triggers laughter. There is great relief in seeing that what bugs us most, also make us laugh.
Ojala studied printmaking in Kuvataideakatemia, in Helsinki. She says that se slipped into painting almost accidentally. This might be why it is so easy to look at her paintings. The material itself is not a problem, rather, it is the most precise way to tell us about life seen through her eyes.

GESUNDHEIT – TERVEYDEKSI
Paavo Paunun (s. 1965) maalaukset välittävät tarinaa ihmisestä ja
ihmisenä olemisesta. Olennaista on rajojen tunnistaminen ja
yhteyden hakeminen. Se on tila, jolla ei ole selkeää muotoa. Se on
tunteiden, toiveiden ja uskomuksien kohtaamispaikka.
BLESS YOU
In his paintings Paavo Paunu (b. 1965) mediates the story of being human. It is essential to identify the limits and create platforms for confronting. There is space without clear form, based on emotions, hopes, beliefs and truth.
Paavo Paunu (b. 1965) graduated from The Painting Department at the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts in 1990. He is working in the fields of painting, sculpture and installations . He has appointed several exhibitions abroad and in Finland.
How can we give form to the formless: to mental impressions, to fleeting thoughts, to riddles that have no answer? Paavo Paunu’s production induces a sense of the entire inexplicability of reality. It raises questions about who I am, what I experience, and what is important in life.
Paunu is a painter of space: he situates his paintings in exhibition spaces, the result being integrated wholes that resemble installations. He is also known for his sculptural paintings and painted sculptures. Right from the start of his artistic career, he made large-scale works, which soon began to acquire greater depth. Stages thus begin to emerge out of the paintings, extending in front of and behind the ground canvas.
Paunu’s production is not limited by the conventional tools of sculpture or painting, nor by any obvious role models, genres or references to theoretical sources. The sound of his works resonates from further away, from out of his own world, which is, nevertheless, human reality. His art is marked by psychological surrealism and expressive symbolism. The aim is to seek out the timeless core stratum of human beings, what motivates their actions, their feelings; ranging from goodness, trust and triumph to shame and unbelief. Paunu’s pictures reflect the uniqueness of experiences and the relationship of the finite human being with the unknown: with nature, with the depths of the mind, and fantasies.

Karen Koltermann
The Shelter
In September 2018 Karen Koltermann had the opportunity to take part in a guided tour to the Gorham Cave Complex while she was an artist in residence in Gibraltar.
In a long gone time, which we call the Middle Palaeolithic, the Gorham Cave was inhabited by Neanderthals who, as has come to light in 2014, also made art. One 39,000 years old cross hatching is still visible and is deemed evidence of the inhabitants’ faculties of abstract thinking and their impressive ability to express themselves.
In the current exhibition in Toolbox, Koltermann shows new pictures on caves and crepuscular caves that are used as shelters. The works are based on the photos that Koltermann took while she visited the caves.
Between the walls of these habitations made by nature, time seems to stand still, when you consider for a moment the many fateful, beautiful, horrible, sad or just funny things the inhabitants may have experienced in the course of millenia – and which stories the already discovered and the yet to be discovered art works can tell us.
We should hope for another at least 39,000 years for this right to spontaneous artistic expression.

Der Unterschlupf
Im September 2018 hat Karen Koltermann im Rahmen eines Artist-in-Residence-Programms in Gibraltar an einer Führung zur Gorham-Höhle teilgenommen.
Die Höhle wurde in einer längst vergangenen Zeit namens Mittelpaläolithikum von Neandertalern bewohnt, die sich dort, wie seit 2014 bekannt ist, auch künstlerisch betätigten.
Eine 39 000 Jahre alte Kreuzschraffur ist erhalten und gilt als Beleg für abstraktes Denken und ein beeindruckendes Ausdrucksvermögen.
Im Toolbox-Studio zeigt Koltermann nun neue Bilder, die sich mit Höhlen und Halbhöhlen als Schutzraum auseinandersetzen. Grundlage dieser Arbeiten sind Fotos, die sie während ihres Aufenthaltes von den Höhlen gemacht hat.
Zwischen den Wänden dieser von der Natur geschaffenen Behausungen scheint der Zeitenlauf still zu stehen, wenn man überlegt, wie viel Schicksalhaftes, Schönes, Grausiges, Trauriges oder einfach Komisches ihren Bewohnerinnen und Bewohnern im Laufe der Jahrtausende widerfahren sein mag – und welche der bisher erkannten und noch zu entdeckenden Kunstwerke uns welche Geschichten erzählen werden.
Wir sollten uns jedenfalls wünschen, dass dieses Recht auf freie und spontane künstlerische Äußerung mindestens weitere 39 000 Jahre gegeben sein wird.
Wobei wir natürlich nicht wissen, ob die Kollegin damals nach Fertigstellung ihres Werkes nicht vom Hausmeister hinter der Höhle zusammengeschrien und nach allen Regeln der Kunst verprügelt wurde …

Photo: Ekkehard Vree, untitled, watercolor on paper
Two painters at the Toolbox
Ekkehard Vree creates, through boldly applied paint and through splodges that leak into amorphous forms, which in turn are drawn over, watercolour portraits with a lyrical appeal. Vree fascinates us with his spirited choice of unrealistic colour and his hesitant lines, achieving a truly intimate encounter with the portrayed people. Moving, poetic, elegant.
Vree lives and works in Viernheim, southern Hesse.
Andreas Wolf is an abstract painter, who, in contrast to Vree, works on his paintings slowly and for a long time. In his work, he strives to reach a tremendous compositional complexity. Every single element in a picture is supposed to enter into a dialogue with every other element; visual foci are set – and thwarted at the same. Tensions are hold in balance. The finished painting eludes easy intelligibility, but with close attention, paths through the picture become apparent. Wolf’s paintings are like wonderfully rich landscapes, inviting us to explore at leisure.
Wolf lives and works in Berlin.
Manchmal denke ich, ich könnte malen
Zwei Maler sind zu Gast in der Toolbox.
Ekkehard Vree schafft, durch schmissig gesetze Farben und verzeichnete, zu freier Form verlaufenden Klecksen, lyrisch anmutende Tuscheporträts. Dem im südhessischen Viernheim lebenden und arbeitenden Maler und Zeichner gelingt es mit mutig realitätsferner Farbgebung und zögerlicher Linienführung das erstaunliche Faszinosum einer wahrhaftig intimen Begegnung mit den porträtierten Menschen. Anrührend, poetisch, elegant.
Andreas Wolf ist abstrakter Maler, der, im Gegensatz zu Vree, extrem lange an seinen Bildern arbeitet. Wolf beschäftigt sich mit der Entwicklung komplexer Bild-Strukturen. Alle Elemente des Bildes sollen möglichst mit allen anderen Elementen des Bildes interagieren, visuelle Schwerpunkte dabei gesetzt – und gleichzeitig in der Schwebe gehalten werden. Dadurch entzieht sich das fertige Bild einer unmittelbaren Erfassung, es zeigen sich aber bei intensiverer Betrachtung dann doch Pfade durch das Bild. Wolfs Gemälde sind wie wunderbare vielfältige Landschaften, in denen man stundenlang spaziergehen kann.

Painting: Antero Kahila, Seven Operation for Finding Meaning, oil on cotton, 190 x 335, 2019
Seven Operations for Finding Meaning 2 is a joint project by visual artist and painter Antero Kahila and poet-musician Kirsi Poutanen. An impulse for the project was given by the poem Das Kind ist erstaunlich by Poutanen (from the book of poems Villonin puutarha, Helsinki: Tammi 2014).This multidisciplinary joint installation consists of three independent components and is a result of a chain reaction: first there was a poem that inspired a painting, which in turn inspired the audio piece heard in the gallery.
A large painting by Antero Kahila in the gallery is accompanied by Poutanen’s sound installation, which exposes the surface to the senses, to exploration and auditory probing, to an attempt at uncovering the existence of something that evades conscious perception in the events and situations shown on the surface of the painting.
Maybe that ‘something’, let us call it variable x, has been waiting for exactly this moment, the very moment of the birth of this work of art, in order to be encountered as ‘otherness’.
Antero Kahila is a Finnish visual artist and a painter. In his latest series of work Kahila has dealed with alienation and withdrawal. His art explores the boundaries of human understanding and seeks answers to impossible questions. It explores the being of the world in us; Where does the self end and the world begin? Where and what are the beginning and end of a subject that one seeks to understand? This is Kahila’s second exhibition in Toolbox. During the last few years he has made several co-operation projects with poet-musician and actress Kirsi Poutanen. Poutanen is a well-known singer and musician in Finland, especially for her skills in Portuguese fado music. She has released a number books of poems and also been seen on theatre stages as an actress, performer and as a scriptwriter.
Sieben Maßnahmen zur Bedeutungsfindung

Kirsi Poutanen, Dichterin, Musikerin
Installation aus Gemälde, Gedicht und Soundinstallation
Sieben Maßnahmen zur Bedeutungsfindung 2 ist ein Gemeinschaftsprojekt des Malers Antero Kahila und der Dichterin und Musikerin Kirsi Poutanen. Den Anstoß für das Projekt gab Poutanens Gedicht Das Kind ist erstaunlich (aus dem Gedichtband Villonin puutarha, Helsinki: Tammi 2014). Die multidisziplinäre Installation besteht aus drei verschiedenen Elementen und ist das Ergebnis einer Kettenreaktion: erst war das Gedicht, das das Gemälde inspirierte, das wiederum den Impuls für das Soundpiece gab.
Im Galerieraum ist zu einem großen Gemälde von Antero Kahila das Klangstück von Putanen zu hören, das die Oberfläche des Gemäldes der Sinnenwahrnehmung öffnet, der Erkundung und dem hörenden Tasten – dem Versuch, die Anwesenheit von etwas zu erspüren, das sich bewusster Wahrnehmung entzieht. Vielleicht hat dieses „Etwas“, man könnte es Variable x nennen, genau auf diesen Augenblick gewartet, auf genau diesen Initialmoment des Kunstwerks, um als „Anderes“ erfahren zu werden.
Der finnische Maler Antero Kahila beschäftigt sich in seiner jüngsten Werkserie mit den Themen Entfremdung und Rückzug. Er lotet die Grenzen menschlicher Verstehensfähigkeit aus und sucht Antworten auf unmögliche Fragen. Seine Arbeiten erkunden die Welt in uns: Wo hört das Selbst auf und wo beginnt die Welt? Wo und was sind Anfang und Ende des Subjekts, das man zu verstehen versucht?
Sieben Maßnahmen zur Bedeutungsfindung 2 ist Kahilas zweite Ausstellung im Projektraum Toolbox.
In den letzten Jahren haben Kahila und Poutanen einige gemeinsame Projekte entwickelt. Kirsi Poutanen ist in Finnland besonders als hervorragende Fado-Sängerin bekannt, darüber hinaus hat sie einige Gedichtbände veröffentlicht, ist als Schauspielerin und Performance-Künstlerin auf Theaterbühnen aufgetreten und hat Drehbücher geschrieben.
