Frau auf Balkon, Komiža IV - The hilly island of Vis, located about 60 km from the Dalmatian mainland, is the furthest island in the Dalmatia region from the mainland. The 90 km² island is known for beautiful beaches, bays and olive and wine cultivation.  From the 4th century BC until the collapse of the former socialist republic of Yugoslavia in 1992, various ruling houses in Europe controlled the island of Vis, which was often referred to as the "Gibraltar of the Adriatic". The Greeks, Romans, Venetians, French, English, Austrians, Italians and Germans appreciated the strategically favorable location of the island. During Yugoslavia, the island of Vis was considered the so-called "forbidden island" because foreigners were not allowed to enter. Numerous former fortresses and military bases still bear witness to the occupying forces of days gone by.
Frau auf Balkon, Komiža III - After the breakup of Yugoslavia and since the creation of the Republic of Croatia, the island has also been accessible to foreign visitors and magically attracts boaters, divers, seaside vacationers and active vacationers. Fantastic bathing beaches and bays, such as Stiniva Bay, interesting diving spots, crystal clear sea, surrounding small islands with natural spectacles, such as the "Blue Grotto" on Bisevo or the "Green Grotto" on Ravnik are just a few of the highlights that the island has to offer.  The two large holiday resorts, Komiza in the west and the town of Vis in the north-east of the island, are the most popular destinations on the island. Over the last few decades, the island of Vis has managed to offer a varied and excellent offering to guests from all over the world without losing its original charm.

Langsame Runde - Slow Round Now I've heard there was a secret chord That David played, and it pleased the Lord But you dont really care for music, do you? It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth The minor falls, the major lifts The baffled king composing Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew her She tied you to a kitchen chair She broke your throne, and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Well, maybe there's a God above As for me all I've ever learned from love Is how to shoot somebody who outdrew you But it's not a crime that you're hear tonight It's not some pilgrim who claims to have seen the Light No, it's a cold and it's a very broken Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Instrumental Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Well people I've been here before I know this room and I've walked this floor You see I used to live alone before I knew ya And I've seen your flag on the marble arch But listen love, love is not some kind of victory march, no It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah There was a time you let me know What's really going on below But now you never show it to me, do you? And I remember when I moved in you And the holy dove she was moving too And every single breath we drew was Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Now I've done my best, I know it wasn't much I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch I've told the truth, I didnt come here to London just to fool you And even though it all went wrong I'll stand right here before the Lord of song With nothing, nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah Leonard Cohen

club banal - CELEBRATIONS Being enchanted, seduced, abducted – together. As a destined pleasure gardener, TOM ROEDER puts the ingredients for a wonderful festivity to the point: Light, darkness, music, silence, the unprecedented occurrence and … The dramaturgy is precise. However, a perfect successful party is not 100% calculable – because of the guests. The director embarks on them, responds directly and makes the celebration come to life. The people feel this closeness and share the moment, the irretrievable moment.

All that is known is that it was used as a sleeping facility by peoples in Central and South America when Europeans came to the Americas 500 years ago. Both the Incas and the Mayans are each credited with the invention.

Simply put, the blurred lights illuminate the part of an image that is full of mystery and magic.



The Sea


Be the gleam of my eye

When the night comes on

And give me your wildly pounding hearth

And the aching fury of your waves

Against the storm and against the icy grip of time.

So that my longing shines in the riddles of your depths

And flies up with the chants of the floating shore.

Markus Honerla’s abstract painting is characterised by his intense engagement in sculpture and painting during his studies at the Düsseldorf Art Academy, as a master student of Tony Cragg, as well as later in photography and digital image processing. What really fascinates him about painting is the immediacy of real time. Nothing can be limited, blown up or repeated as if using a computer. Painting requires maximum skills. His artistic experiences in several genres give his work its distinctive style. Relievos consisting of fine parallel lines reveal layers and structures moving apart from one context and being slid over others. These structures and fragments allow for different perspectives on various worlds at just one look.

It’s all about colour

Markus Honerla has worked in several genres, 

but what really got him is painting.


Tony Cragg, Richard Serra, Magdalena Jetelová, Bruce Nauman, Donald Judd – when Markus Honerla enumerates the names of people who influenced him during his studies at Düsseldorf Art Academy, it sounds like a personnel list of Documenta during the 1980s and 90s. In Düsseldorf, the first division team of artists had gathered, they were teaching at the academy, making exhibitions. Before, Honerla had attended the evening painting course in Dresden, and not just compared to that, Düsseldorf must have seemed to him like enormous freedom: openness between the different genres of art – from photography to stage design – instead of physical separation between the subjects painting and sculpture, open-mindedness for all currents of this world instead of regional echo chambers. 

While Honerla was increasingly focusing on the field of sculpturing when he lived in Düsseldorf, today painting is central to him. That there had been a long chapter of digital image processing in Berlin during the 00s should also be mentioned. What we see now is flawless flatware for the wall, created in the classical way using brush and paint. The beginning is marked by one specific painting: “ASA NISI MASA” from 2007. It is one of the first paintings Markus Honerla brought onto the canvas after about 20 years of abstinence from painting. A start going along with the insight that the contact between artist and canvas is immediate and direct. Whatever appears on it comes up in real time and is neither limited by a computer’s processing power, nor by the usual technical effort typical for the sculpturing scene of the 1990s. Compared to that, painting is a downright organic way of working with minimum use of resources, but still requiring maximum skills in order to give a sentiment shape and colour. In case of Honerla, structure also plays a role. In his strictly black and white series “Land”, it is decisive: Relievos of fine parallel lines create forms, widen into landscapes. In his études, however, the paint appears as if cut out of paper strips. In general, Honerla quite often uses collage looks, but he creates them using paint only. Filmogen lacquers, by the way, put on top of one another, building several layers. And it is exactly this technique that seems to close the circle – to sculpturing, when Honerla understands the individual applied paints as delimited layers and juxtaposes matt and shiny surfaces in an extremely exact way. As well as to digital image processing, when forms detach from their context, suddenly, and are being laid over others by Honerla.

Ultimately, it is all about paint and colour. Not as a texture, but as red, yellow, and blue. The three elementary colours creating all those brilliant paintings.
