<p>• A summation of Gert and Uwe Tobias's wide-ranging and multi-faceted artistic repertoire, taken from the Morsbroich Museum• Borrows from several disciplines including ceramics, collage, potato print and, most importantly, woodcutTwin brothers Gert and Uwe Tobias have been working successfully as an artist duo since the end of the 1990s. Because working as a team brings ideas together and sharing is the basis of their art, the twins discovered that collage, a cross-media technique that involves multiple forms of artistry, is their best representation of their style.They convert a multitude of figures into drawings, ceramic sculptures and woodcuts, constantly varied and recombined. Raised in Transylvania, they are still influenced by their German-Romanian roots and the wealth of folk motifs from their native country of origin. In addition to myth-shrouded symbolism, many details of their work - the intense colors of the costumes and fabrics, and the exquisite embroidery on the cushions - are reminiscent of their homeland. Gert and Uwe Tobias are especially well known for their large woodcuts, the genre that is still the focus of their art production.The pictures in this book have been created in a potato print-like process, in which the contours are sawn out of poplar, coated with paint and pressed onto paper or, more recently, on canvas.</p>

<p>In a world in which information is disseminated in no time across the globe via digital highways, the built and tarred roads appear as historical relics of a bygone era. What do roads tell us of the civilization of those who constructed them? A road is a symbol of movement and progress, but also of flight and escape. It evokes dreams and projects an alternative, better life. Movement on a road signifies prosperity, development, and liberty in a democratized world. This book explores the basic principles of human thinking and acting that underlie the concept of the road, both from the vantage point of the history of ideas and in terms of its gradual transformation on a virtual level. The artists represented in the exhibition use photography and video to investigate the motif of the road and its relevance to the pressing challenges of our society, such as the issue of migrants and refugees, the global ecological impact of a mobile society, or the fact that all of us are becoming the object of omnipresent video surveillance, especially on roads and highways. Artists: Sue Barr, Thomas Bayrle, Julius Brauckmann, James Bridle, Ingrid Burrington, Emma Charles, Frauke Dannert, Hans Gremmen, Uschi Huber, Taiyo Onorato & Nico Krebs, Catherine Opie, Kathy Prendergast, Hans-Christian Schink, Henrik Spohler, Katja Stuke & Oliver Sieber, Clement Valla, Mels Van Zutphen.
