Teleportal: Munich Calling

DONNER, wie Blitz, Fenstergalerie | Munich, Germany

July 1—28, 2023

In this exhibition, Teleportal presents a visual interpretation of the children’s game, telephone. A singular image is passed from one artist to the next, which allows for transformation and interpretation. The work criss-crosses the globe as it transforms. The goal is to capture the essence of the image and then create a visual response, allowing the original artwork's elements to be passed on. The result is a body of work that morphs and changes as it travels.

The first image taken by Lu Mazen, a Teleportal artist living and working in Germany, represents the rich history of the exhibition site in Munich. The Donnersberger street pictured was a simple farm road from the village to the Sunday church, with many seasonal flowers along the way. Today, the area is a suburb, and the rural path has become a wide road with flower pots in the windows and small front gardens.

Through a wide range of artistic mediums, the artists created works in dialogue with the history of the space and the city, as well as the broader concept of connecting and collaborating.
