(MENAFN- Muscat Daily) Muscat- Stal Gallery, in partnership with the Goethe-Institut, has announced the opening of 'The Journey of Finding Beauty' exhibition by German artist Janin Walter at Stal Gallery.
In the context of the Artist-in-Residence Programme of Stal Gallery and the Goethe-Institut/Gulf Region, the artist and architect Janin worked with local artists, designers and architects investigating the subject of beauty. In several workshops, participants discussed their personal relationship with the concept of beauty as well as which types of architecture they perceived as 'beautiful'. The results of the workshop were used to develop artistic works.
The main feature of the exhibition, 'The Journey of Finding Beauty', is a video that interprets and visualises the ideas of the workshop participants. Themes such as harmony, monstrosity, soul, female strength and geometry are examined in short videos from the artist's point of view.
In the series Wadi Sabi, pictures will be displayed showing architectures whose characteristics are exaggerated. The architectural photographs were made on many tours the artist made during her stay. The video 'In Between' shows urban spaces that have fallen out of focus because they are connoted with decay. But there, one finds a projection area for many activities.
Since the working process during the artist's residence is just as important as the artistic work, a further room in the gallery will feature a documentation of the workshops as well as tools that were used during the process.
The exhibition is open to the public and will run until November 31. Stal Gallery is located at Villa 221, Madinat Qaboos, Muscat. For information on exhibitions and other programmes, contact Stal Gallery at 2460 0396 or .
