“A human being, during the creative act, does not merely rework information; human creativity is immersed in a complex interplay of experiences, emotions, intuitions, and sensory stimuli that continuously interact (a phenomenon that goes beyond simple data synthesis). Every creative choice is the product of a dynamic process, influenced by a constant and varied accumulation of experiences.”

FW INTERVIEWS

In conversation with Fakewhale, Mathias Pöschl explores how the accidental imperfections in his art become its defining feature, turning traditional methods into a fresh exploration of two-dimensional forms.

“Since I’ve always been interested in the phenomenon of copying – I started out doing photorealistic pencil drawings –, it was a consequent step to at one point start working with the photocopier as the primary source for my works. Whereas I once tried to produce something with my hands that looked machine-made, I now try to explore the painterly properties of a machine. It took me a while to realize and accept that the imperfections of the process are the real essence of the work. I do not have to do any transformational work for them to have significance – they are just there.”

INSIGHTS

The recent ‘Live Stream' exhibition at Fluentum transformed a historic Berlin site into a layered dialogue between modern art and its storied past.

"Live Stream" by Patricia L. Boyd, Jason Hirata, Nina Könnemann, Michael E.

Curated by Dennis Brzek and Junia Thiede, this collective showcase featured the works of Patricia L. Boyd, Jason Hirata, Nina Könnemann, Michael E. Smith, and Matt Welch, who created an intense dialogue with the architectural environment of the former Nazi Air Force headquarters, later used by U.S. forces.
