137,5 Grad Painting

Daisy Gold, born 1966, worked as a graphic artist and illustrator ever since her graduation and is freelance since 1991. Manfredo Weihs, born 1962, worked as freelance press photographer in Vienna from 1985 until 2012. the impulse for our co-working came from gallery owner and curator MMag. Manfred hoschek. We started with Manfredos black-and-white polaroids, which we had printed on canvas that i in succession coloured with oil paint. Shortly after our rst joint exhibitions „WithoutSpace“ and „coolpool“, we found the ideal location for our studio. After an intensive reconstruction, we already opened at the end of 2013 with our rst studio- vernissage „80 Bricks – 4 elements – 2 Artists – 1 Studio“. the outstanding issue of our collaboration is that we are able to harmonize our thoughts when working on a new creation. the outcome is not a sum of ideas, but much more a fusion of thoughts from which emerges something completely different, like a third part of us. important for us is to experiment, learn and develop further. We are permanently in search of new things. And, above all, joy and fun aren ́t allowed to get a raw deal.
