Across the Bridge Exhibition
Across the Bridge - Werktage Building Berlin-Mitte, September 3rd/2002
Built in the early 1900s, the Werktage is currently undergoing a renovation of itīs interior components and now houses not only the gallery and studio spaces, but also the craft- and print-shops and musical studios. The Werktage is an incredible environment for exhibitions, opening up the collected arts and producing an invigorating atmosphere to experience.
Across the Bridge, which began in 1996, has branched out far beyond itīs home in Long Island City with showings across the continents. This is hardly suprising since the artists themselves originate from all corners of the world including Venezuela, Italy, Germany, Peru and the U.S. With expansion has come transformation and the current form (what is another word for this, I am thinking as in evolution) of Across the Bridge is both inspiring and informative.

Your perception of what Across the Bridge is attempting to achieve as a unified group is aided by the curation, which was done with a sense of delicate calmness thus relaxing your vision. The diversity and close connection of the exhibition relates to a fine network of individuals. Every aspect of their art is a reflection of how it is brought together and the groupīs goal as a team. They have taken up as a united cultural group and created something brand new to express partnerships between people.
Most of the works were of a decorative construct and almost inspire functionality.
Alternative to this theme were the works by Espartaco Albornoz, Kay Gordon and Serena Depero.
Albornozīs oil on linen paintings were fascinating and enchanting, drawing you into a mystical childhood world of secret telling.
Gordonīs forty or so intricate wax plates were a balance of flow and structure, showing signs of something familiar. One plate appeared as a rose suspended in glass, holding a romance within a cold perspective.
Deperoīs acrylic on canvas works utilise soothing colours and calm designs to explore the clinical, realising naturalistic beauty in something quite the opposite.
The approach for Across the Bridge is for all to enjoy and an example of individuals crossing various boundaries to meet and become involved with one another.
