Marktbreit
The 2 person show/installation/collaboration between Bronson McKinley and Kathrin Feser – called Cloud Factory – is set up in the White Tower, a renaissance tower in Marktbreit, Germany, as part of a 3-day-event called “Kitzinger County Culture Stops”. Our installation claims 4 half-circular rooms that increase in size as you climb up the tower’s narrow and steep staircase.
Room 1 is filled with approximately 700 butterflies made from laser-cut paper, floating and flying through the air.
Room 2 shows the butterflies’ wing flapping effects. They manufacture clouds in a laboratory. While flying vigorously criss-cross, the space is filling up with small, still manageable in size, but floundering clouds.
Room 3 is the room of clouds in perfection. The butterflies are reducing their speed, the clouds, large and heavy, fill the room almost entirely as they slowly move.
Room 4 shows the clouds detached and flying freely. A phased sequence of sky-photos surrounds the tower’s top level walls, interrupted by slim windows opening up a view into the current sky above Marktbreit. All photos were shot within 13 days in April 2007. Many of our friends from all across the planet shot the sky above their heads (name, location, date, and time included in the presentation) – specifically for this occasion.If you’d like to see this installation you will have to come by between April 20 and April 21. During these 3 days the butterflies in the first room, will slowly be taking off together with our visitors.
During the 16th Century Georg Ludwig v. Seinsheim induced the construction of the tower, as part of the fortifying walls surrounding Marktbreit. The White Tower used to be home of the cowherd, the midwife and the bath man.
Update: You can download the complete documentation of the show in PDF format (1.4 MB).

Public Collection
In connection with last year’s solo exhibition at the Maximilianeum in Munich, a cut-out piece called Sprachverwirrung [perplexity of language] (19.7” x 19.7”, colored paper, 2006) has been donated by the SPD (Social Democratic Party) to the public collection of the Museum Kulturspeicher in Würzburg. For a brief period, it will be presented to the public next to a silkscreen done by Andy Warhol.

"Alumni at the Centennial" in Oakland
In 1999 I received my Masters in Fine Arts at California College of the Arts in San Francisco. Happily I was following their international and open call to all alumni to apply for the 100 year CCA celebration show titled Alumni at the Centennial. The more happy I was when I heard that I was to be one of fifty alumni that had been chosen by the jury to present recent art work. The exhibition and the centennial kick-off will begin with a grand opening reception on Wednesday January 31 from 5.30 pm to 7.30 pm. You can come and visit the exhibits until February 16 in the Tecoah Bruce Gallery in Oakland.
