It is the year 1947. Art patron Peggy Guggenheim meets with a rich collector in her New York gallery and complains because no-one has bought even one painting by Jackson Pollock, who she has given a solo show. To which the art connoisseur responds: "Dear Peggy, Jackson Pollock is avantgarde, success will take a while!" The New International Avantgarde is presented by Munich curator ADLER A.F. at neurotitan gallery in Haus Schwarzenberg - in the heart of Berlin nearby the Hackesche Höfe. Artists who have committed to Trash Art and XXL painting, to making art from recyclable materials from Berlin, Munich, Miami and New York and to paint unconventional-unpleasing paintings in gigantic formats. XXL formats, work that defies any mainstream tendencies, will be shown by Marc Aurel and gerSCH aka Gerd Scheurer from Munich, as well as Gregory de la Haba and Lee Wells from New York. Kathy Kissik from Miami and Jeremy Hansen from Toronto are represented with trashy assemblages. Gerhard Winter from Munich combines glass treatment with found objects which he attacks with gigantic nails. Berlin performer Cornelius Perino is well known for his fire shows. With Berlin artist Morelli he shares the love for detail in an aesthetic-constructivist context and a new interpretation of recycle design. New York artist Tine Kindermann fuses fairy tales in peep hole installations to a unique combination of tradition and peep show. Emil Memon is a New York multi-talent who focuses on experimental videos and documentaries of New York in the 80s till the present. Additionally, he curates with Japanese artst Kyoko Sato Ono art shows on the highest level. Jerry Vile from Detroit, known for his "dirty shows", exposes the puritanism of US society and ridicules it. Igor Kaschkurjewitsch is stone-sculptor, working in Minsk/Belarus and Berlin with "Findlingen". ADLER A.F./Curator,TrashArt und XXL-Rupfnpaintings/Berlin - München Internationally renowned TrashArtist ADLER A.F. transforms bulky and outsized refuse into art with a political message: she provokes between abundance and asceticism. ADLER A.F. was aparticipant of the 2011 Biennale in Venice and in 2012 she was invited to show her living sculpture “Trash Queen” at Schrei-Tanz at the Kassel dOCUMENTA(13). In the media sh has been described as Munich’s trashiest artist, calling her performances alarming mischief (oder nonsense wenn du ein mehr negatives Wort willst). ADLER A.F. moves between noe-dada and ironic social criticism (oder auch commentary); in 2008 she founded the world’s first and only TrashArt museum. Located in Berlin it is called MocTA – Museum of contemporary TrashArt. Her motto is: IN ART WE TRUST
ANRA Andreas and Ralph Hilbert/eco&eso Trash/BaWü The twins Andreas and Ralph Hilbert go by the name ANRA eso & eco Trash. From recovered items, cast-offs and the garbage of prosperity they create topical installations and material-pictures, sensitizing the viewer and inviting reflection. They collect and use what others discard, with a preference for items that have a history of their own, transform them and imbue them with new meaning. Thus knives, forks and spoons become tools of creativity, like for example the anti-war installations titled “Creativity Eats Up War". ANRA’s art is always concerned with beauty and aesthetics, a beauty that doesn’t conform to contemporary ideals and which stands against life in the fast lane and mass consumption. The brothers take position, judging the machinations of global players who destroy our planet with their greed for power and world domination. Together ANRA stand for a peaceful, creative world which has no space for violence and oppression.
Marc Aurel/painting, XXL-Format/München "Time is about art … and art is a smooth, mesquite smoke flavored, deep-rich sweet and spicy barbecue sauce I love to smother myself in."
gerSCh aka Gerd Scheurer/painting, XXL-Format/München Pictures are, first and foremost, elementary experiences of real moments. This art renders an elementary application of primary form moments acting and being acted upon. The artist’s unique and individual contribution articulates its pictorial expression non-symbolically into an event-context of universal character. The quality of Gerd Scheuerers paintings is measured exclusively by the intensity of the underlying artistic intent. Gerd Scheuerer studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich from 1972 to 1978. Years of discourse on Alfred North Whitehead’s philosophy as well as the sustained study of shamanistic descriptions of reality, form the basis for Scheuerer’s own work.

Hansen Jeremy/Installation/Vancouver - Detroit/ Kanada - USA Spontaneously creating works inspired by daily interactions. With the attempt to stave off his own guilt from our civilizations waste, Hansen chooses to use discarded interesting trash. He will works on paper and plans on creating a Robot Rothko which is a large wall sculpture out of Berlin found trash.
Hochrein Mia/Concept - Action/Münnerstadt Mia Hochrein saves the ugly, the hated, the discarded and the broken from disappearing by giving them new meaning or at least affection in her works. Her public appearances as cleaner, huntress, scientist or village shop clerk thoughtfully reflect everyday life in a way that leaves a niggling sense of irritation and unanswered questions. She studied Fine Art and Visual Communication at the Kassel University of Fine Art but has since returned to her rural roots to base her work in local structures.
Igor Kaschkurjewitsch Igor Karschkurjewitsch, born 1957 in Minsk, comes from an important Belarusian family of artists. In Minsk he studied Graphic Arts and Design, while simultaneously developing his own style as a painter and stone sculptor. He worked as a lecturer and curator and was a founding member of the Independent Centre for Contemporary Art in Belarus. Since 1998, Igor Kaschkurjewitsch has been living and working as an independent sculptor and painter in Berlin.
Kathy Kissik/Assemblage/Miami/USA Kathy Kissik is a graduate of The Museum School Boston and Tufts University where she was a 5th year Traveling Scholar Recipient. She has received two Pollock-Krasner Grants and is exhibited in the US, Canada, and Europe. Her artwork is widely collected in both private and public collections. Kissik’s mixed media paintings and sculpture are often architectural. Trained primarily in photography and welding, her materials are carefully chosen. “I seek out components that lend themselves visually and conceptually to the subject I am dealing with.” The ‘URBAN WEAPON SERIES’ is a visual commentary on the violence and gang life in Miami where she currently lives and creates.
Tine Kindermann/showcases/New York/USA
Krumbholz Stephanie/Installation, Concept Art/Berlin The visualization of energy flows, the comparison of microscopic and macroscopic structures, the reduction to black and white as well as questioning the relationship of line, form, expanse and structure are the subject of Stephanie Krumbholz works. She does so in creating collages with old and recycled materials which supply their own story, adding to the picture.
Emil Memon/experimental Videos/New York/USA Emil Memon is a Slovenian New York City based Visual Artist. He did his undergraduate studies in painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, Italy (Academia di Belle Arti, Firenze); graduate studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Ljubljana (ALU), Slovenia and as a Fulbright scholar at Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, NYC, where he received his MFA (New Forms). His Art education continued by working for Leo Castelli Gallery where he had a chance to work on installations of artists like Keith Haring, Andy Warhol, Mario Merz, Robert Rauschenberg, Donald Judd,Dennis Oppenheim, etc..later on Sol LeWitt drawing . As a musician Emil had an interest in merging Pop culture into Art and by working at the famed NYC Night Club Area he started participating ,at that time intense NYC night life, that later informed his work by choosing night clubs for venues for his Art and Music projects and Art Curatorial (Tunnel, Club USA, LimeLight…). The late 80's Wall St. crash had a crisis effect on NYC art world and in a way freed the artists away from career and money calculations to focus on their work in a more free and honest way. From this his interest in Artists independence formed by showing and curating in site specific and traditionally spaces not associated with Art. In 2014, among other activities, Memon co-curated the exhibition “Japonism in contemporary Art” at The Nippon Gallery, where he also showed his recent work and performed part of Ambient Chaos at Spectrum, NYC, a Live music show, in which he incorporated his film “Blue Movie/1983".

MORELLI/REDESIGN, Objects/Berlin The Berlin-based artist Morelli has succeeded in creating his own art from. For nearly 30 years he has been creating composites from everyday things, distorting the materials to such a degree that known objects appear in a completely new guise, thus allowing a freer, ironic-humorous perspective on everyday life. With each work you realize that Morelli is a free-thinker, a keen observer of his contemporaries. He is an essentially prophetic artist who still remains true to himself and his style. His paintings and objects are cheeky, witty, biting, provocative, but always contain a creative aesthetic that invites the gaze to linger. With his art, Morelli sets a solid counterpoint to our throwaway society, which is still far removed from understanding that even industrially manufatured products are capable of more than one life. As a recycler Morelli teaches through his artworks that things are more than meets the eye. And he will continue to do so, as long as his fellow humans continue to throw beautiful, elaborately produced things simply into the garbage.
Cornelius Perino/Performance&Concept/Berlin - Jamaica Perino constructs his objects and images with a visionary rage entering his work in an unrestrained fashion. The most disparate materials and techniques colliding with immediate, enormous aesthetic power. (Alfred Jons)
Nele Stroebel/Sculpture lost&found/Berlin - München Lost&found uses public spaces as a stage. Objects altered and dismantled beyond recognition are placed in streets or put up at swap meets, sometimes alongside lovingly worded instructions. Much is to be saved this way, through new use, ready for upcycling, while other objects are just cryptically discarded. So one and the same phenomenon elicits emphatic reactions of urban depths and heights, the kind of polarities so typical of Berlin: great care or complete chaos may result. As a visual artist, Nele Strobel passes through these signs with pen, chisel and camera, converting this or that. And voila: lost&found – an attempt to uncover the soul of things, to encircle and transform them into a walk-in diary. Mixed media, wood and a sense of wonder.
Jerry Vile/dirty objects/Detroit/USA Jerry Vile has been part of underground Detroit since he was old enough to say "Fuck You". His past and present careers (publisher, singer, executive, artist) may be elaborate performance pieces. He is best known for creating The Dirty Show® erotic art exhibition and public agitprop statements such as Crisco Fist.

Winter Gerhard/GlasNägelHolz-Objekte/München An artist whose creative power draws from the depths of his own sensibilities. He works primarily in wood, colour, metal wires and glass. Found items connect the core, painful and protective at the same time. Two faces, two moulds, two halves determine many of his sculptures and material works. Twoness also always means duality, estrangement and division, while on the other hand the constant desire for togetherness, unity and atonement (Atonement hat eine eher religiöse Bedeutung. Kann auch durch bridging the gap/chasm ersetzt werden) remains. These works admonish the ambivalence of life between fulfilment and loss, are reminders that the greatest happiness does not exist without the deepest pain. ( Christiane Sellner)
