Behind closed doors only grey exists
15.11.08 - 30.11.08
Opening 15.11.08 at 19:00-00.00
Bastard Gallery presents "Behind closed doors only grey exists", which
consists of new works by Simon Mullan. The exhibition is built around the
two video pieces "One man world" and "Fiction Phone call".
Both videos have one focus, Andreas Heger; who is a young man with Downs’s
syndrome. Andreas Heger and Simon Mullan grew up together in Austria and
have known each other for several years. These two videos can be seen as
homage to the ones among us who are real artists. This is what Andreas
Heger is to Simon; he plays different instruments and is not only a
talented actor but also a true one at that. Mullan is partly fascinated by
Andreas Heger’s ability to smoke cigarettes without cigarettes and make
phone calls without switching on the phone; but also looks up to him that
he does all these things in a true and honest way. The setting is very
intimate, almost like a black and white family photograph.
Exclusively at the opening night Simon Mullan will perform together with
Björn Segschneider. They are partners in the project “Off the beaten
trackz”, and will present their common work. Literally a deconstruction of
music. The project consists of two parts. The first one is series of cut
up vinyl records, which work as collages/sculptures. The second part is
the sound of these dismantled, conjoined again, records.
Simon Mullan is born 1981 in Kiel, Germany. He got his master’s degree at
the University of Applied Arts in Vienna and is currently a project
student at the Royal University College of Fine arts in Stockholm.
