SANTA FE 2010
This is a small selection of the work we made in Santa Fe November 2011. E-mail us if interested in seeing more images.
INDIA/NEPAL 2009
About the Works:
Over the course of five weeks, Alexander Kori Girard and Oliver Halsman Rosenberg made the journey from Southwest India to Kathmandu, Nepal. Caves, hotel rooms, bus stands, train compartments, restaurant tables, and quiet places in nature all served as makeshift studios where the two artists collaborated on over 60 works on paper. Each piece was consistently passed back and forth, resulting in surprisingly singular works.
Meeting in the small beach town of Gokarna, they headed north to the awe-inspiring Ajanta and Ellora Caves. Their next stop was a remote village in the state of Bihar where they met with a local community of folk artists, working in the Madhubani tradition. While cataloguing their collection in the shrine filled Kathmandu valley, they noticed how thoroughly the flavors of each region had found its way into the pieces and decided to name each piece based on the city in which it was created.
This CD contains a selection of some of the collaborative drawings/paintings and collages they made using materials collected along the way, such as antique photo mounts, photographs, found paper, henna, incense – along with supplies light enough to hit the road with including gouache and pens and pencils. The sizes of the artwork range from 6”x9” to 11”x15”.
