THE INVITATION
As part of the commitment of Sparwasser HQ to exchange, even widely,
the forms of communication about contemporary art, we would like to 
invite you to
a series of "Artists' Talk", preceding Wednesday the 7th of May, in order to
present artists' recent works and latest development, with particular 
emphasis on new, still
in progress, projects.

THE AIM
The aim is to give the chance for both artists
and audience to create a direct exchange of information, impressions, 
feedback, in a
friendly and constructive environment, where some features of the 
artists research will be
pointed out and linked to other experiences.

THE DIALOG
The invited artists will present and discuss with the audience their own latest
developments in 1 hour time, and we will present 2 artists each time.
Through the evening some hands-out from the artists will be available, and
we will have a bar service, at discounted prices, to chill out and
relax enjoying a beer or a glass of wine!

THE ARTISTS
April 28.: Jeroen Offerman, Jean Lee, May 7.:Jan Rothuizen and Sean Reynard,
May 14.: Deborah Ligorio, Karen Yasinski, ? May : Zeigam Azizov.

Jan Rothuizen

The work of the Dutch artist and writer Jan Rothuizen is not easily 
categorized under one heading. Rothuizen employs photographic works, 
personal texts and on-site infiltrations to detach images from their 
original context, in order to present them anew in full vulnerability 
and implicit pliability.
The artist's self-portrait in progress composed of existing portraits 
that he considered to be resembling himself  'Somewhere over the 
Rainbow'  , a crossword puzzle based on personal questions and a 
collection of  'missing'-signs, gathered from different places and 
united on one tree: what binds these works is the reflection of a 
longing.
The capturing of an image and its inherent ambivalence: Rothuizen 
operates from the knowledge of its impossibility. It turns his work 
into a paragon: a reflection on human signifying and its 
inadequacies, and with that, or maybe rather, a monument of longing 
as such.

At Sparwasser Jan Rothuizen will review  some  earlier projects and 
show a project he is currently working on in Berlin.



Sean Reynard

Sean Reynard, born in St.Helens, UK 1971, studied St.Helens Technical 
College (Expressive Arts) then Sheffield Hallam University UK BA Fine 
Art.

He will present and talk about his short videos, often improvised 
tales of frustration
and death. For Sparwasser he will present a selection of recent work, including
Unkle God, where God visits his niece in her bedroom and Mam, which 
shows what he had to deal with every single day of his adolescent 
life.
