 Antje Majewsky, artist, born 1968 in Marl, lives and works in Berlinwww.antjemajewski.de  ⁄⁄ No school today, 2005 video ⁄⁄ (No school today), 2005 oil on panel  In my short film No school today,
I wanted to explore what happens if the rules for
movement are changed within the confined space of one
of Beijing's new, anonymous flats so that it gets used in a
way it was not intended. A man and a child are living in
one of the new housing blocks. The apartment is furnished
in 'international style' with no specific taste, so
you can't guess the man's profession or hobbies.
The only exception is an oil painting of a rare desert stone
hanging on the wall ⁄⁄ ... ⁄⁄ Catalogue excerpt, by Antje Majewski Works in the exhibition: No school today, 2005, video, colour, sound, 12 min; Rare desert stone (No school today), 2005, oil on panel, 80 x 50 cm; both works loan of the artist © Antje Majewski / VG Bild-Kunst, Bonn 2006 |
