Drawing reverse
Ephemeral environmental interferences
Drawing reverse
is a drawing project with sheets of paper, not on to sheets of paper,
using standardized industrially produced white, letter-size paper to
spread it out in nature, on to nature, or within man made outdoor structures.

The
sleep of reason
Trautwein
takes what he finds in the cheap consumer world, and transforms it,
with sometimes only minimal formative interferences, into aesthetic
statements about the conditions of our present. "I shop therefore
I am" determined by Barbara Kruger 1987 in a photo work as a
provocative allusion on Rene Descartes basic idea "cogito ergo
sum": I think, therefore I am. Trautwein doesn't come along that
categorically. In his work the different ways of life pass into each
other - certainly not without breaks and by any means not in such
a way, that it would be without something to think about.

NIESATT
parallel worlds
In
NIESATT, the notion of ‘parallel worlds’ translates into
dividing every inch of the screen into slithers of multi-layered,
scrolling, exploding, animated, visual, wordy, flash, gifs; the website
seems unlimited and unbound by time and space constraints. One can
get lost in it – but never feel at a dead end for all the links,
tunnel and merge into the world of JTwine.

Homo
digitalis will never be full
The
biographer and writer on art Karel van Mander wrote, that Pieter Breugel,
the great Dutch landscape painter, when crossing the Alps sucked up
the impressions of the mountains on his journey to Italy and literally
spit them out, when he returned from his trip.
It is similar with Jurgen Trautwein’s computer art, only that
he doesn't suck up alpine landscapes, but various contemporary issues.
He absorbs themes like depersonalization, ecological collapse, obsessions
with beauty and violence, to spit them out again, after being digitally
manipulated, in a socially critical and ironic manner.
