Anja Eichler
Allerlaatste werken van Anja Eichler, een Duitse kunstenares die leeft en werkt in Shanghai, vertellen haar visuele en geluidsimpressies die van de megapolis afkomstig zijn.
Voor deze tentoonstelling met de titel "Urbanautes", haar fetisj materiaal is de werkhandschoen maar dan in meer kleurige composities, die hoge golven en diepe voren oproepen als stedelijke kanalen om te bevaren en te ontdekken in zulk ander elders.
De draagbare juwelen van Anja, dicht bij het leven, verwijzen naar een mysterieuze organische realiteit met zeebodems, maanlandschappen of embryonale elementen die zich vastklikken aan het lichaam en ermee bewegen en ademen.
We laten ons graag onderdompelen in dit universum met de hulp van Lise Vachon (choreografe en danseres van Canadese origine gevestigd in België), Laura Colmenares Guerra (Columbiaans/Spaanse videokunstenares) en Todor Todoroff (Belgische ingenieur/componist van elektroakoestische muziek). Hun creaties, gericht op lichamelijke perceptie, zullen de ogenschijnlijk levendige materialiteit van de voorgestelde synthetische juwelen komen versterken.
Sinds 2000 volgt Anja Eichler kunstcursus. Ze heeft ook aan verschillende groep tentoonstelingen
en werkshoppen onder de leiding van Manuel Vilhena, Giovanni Corvaja, Christoph Zellweger en Iris Eichenberg deelgenomen
Van 2008 tot 2011, start ze hedendaagse kunst juwellen in de school Alchimia uit Florence met leraren Ruudt Peters, Peter Bauhuis, Lucia Masei en Doris Maninger. Aan de einde van haar studie ze is door Paul Derrez uit Galerie Ra, Amsterdam gemerkt als "New Talent", juist voor haar vertrek naar Shanghai.

Either way, she creates an atmosphere that leads the visitor to be involved in and with the artwork.
Over the past decade Laura has made a career out of developing personal and collaborative projects in the field of media art. Laura was been commissioned to produce video works for The Flanders Fields Museum in Iper-Belgium, by the Natural Science Museum in Brussels and by the Brussels Parliament for its 20th anniversary, between others.
