Olivia Steele & Ulf Saupe
Dining is more than a table with food. It’s a ritual of social gathering, a<br />
platform of communication where news is swapped, opinions are debated and<br />
culture literally comes alive. Ulf Saupe and Olivia Steele did put their heads<br />
together to heat up the Melting Pot with an extraordinary art program for the<br />
basement and restaurant.<br />
Together, they hand-picked works of contemporary international artists that<br />
are not only meant to stimulate and create atmosphere, but also invite you to<br />
discuss and exchange. We invite you through the hallways and bunkers of the<br />
Alte Münze to discover the <strong>Pret</strong>-a-artê experience. If you would like more<br />
information about a work and its artist or purchase we are pleased to give you<br />
a personal tour through the building. Just ask at the shop upstairs or any<br />
staff member.<br />

Thomas Bachler<br />
What is money worth when its looses its value???<br />
The picture that’s on it?! - Thomas Bachler uses a nineteenth century<br />
photographic technique to reproduce drawings that were once icons on<br />
money bills, which are no longer in circulation. Through this reproduction,<br />
the conceptual photographic artist brings up some<br />
interesting questions ...<br />
Who decides what is on the bills?<br />
How do countries represent themselves on the most printed picture?<br />
Who was the artist that made it?<br />
Don´t you have it in your hands every day?<br />
Don´t you want it?<br />
Did you have a close look?<br />
What is the value of an image???<br />
Working in conceptual art, Thomas Bachler reflects always in his artistic<br />
approach about photography and its influences upon us.<br />
Who can escape the influence that images have upon us?

Photobooks - Various books of socialist propaganda literature with observation photo - various sizes - 2009<br />
Who is free of manipulation??? - Looking back in time a lot of contradictions are revealed.<br />
Thomas Bachler uses the technique of collage to embody the gap between the real citizen and<br />
the ideal one that socialist GDR propaganda literature claimed.<br />
The photos shown in the original book covers are photos taken by the secret service (STASI)<br />
of “state enemies” or suspicious people within the system; in essence, that had a different<br />
opinion or point of view. 24 million of these photos are stored in the public archive in<br />
Dresden ...

J.M. Pozo<br />
Where is my home? - What is the perfect home?<br />
J.M. Pozo, born in Havana, now living and working in Berlin shows the results of a long<br />
nomadic, globalized life style in his paintings. Combining the past with the present he<br />
uses multiple views that merge into colorful painted collages including his own experience<br />
but also icons and symbols that crossed all our life paths.<br />

Melissa Steckbauer<br />
Young and pretty? Oversexed - underfucked?<br />
How does a society deals with sexuality?<br />
Melissa Steckbauer (Tucson, Arizona) creates portraits and self-portraits that address<br />
dynamic and underrepresented sexual scenes. In order to study the delicate and nuanced<br />
nature of physical intimacy and interpersonal contact, she paints and photographs<br />
people in emotionally transformative situations. Her sources range from handpicked<br />
images from the Kinsey Institute, to work with close friends, appropriated photographs,<br />
and Internet pornography.<br />

Ulrich Vogl<br />
Draw me light and cast me some shadow!<br />
What do you see in the dark?<br />
The German artist Ulrich Vogl is cutting it back to the bare minimum using light as a<br />
drawing material. A shadow cast on a wall, an imaginary skyline in front of our eyes or<br />
a observatory projecting stars all create an illusionary world using the very basic of<br />
our nature to receive the world. - Otherwise we are blind men walking.<br />

Tom Gefken<br />
Who was it, if it wasn´t me?<br />
Tom mixes all kinds of different media in his paper works and paintings. His humorous<br />
and subtile approaches find their roots in a very sharp reflection of todays society.<br />
Fragments of commercial phrases, old sayings are decontextualized and then accompanied<br />
with stencils, paint and drawings. Without any visual limits he achieves extraordinary<br />
images that invite all to think and enjoy.

Olivia Steele<br />
Can words form a picture?<br />
A native of Nashville, and a resident of London, Olivia’s works as a conceptual<br />
artist with neon lights drawing ironic attention to the past, the present, and<br />
the pictures in our head. - The slogans of propaganda often form contradictions.<br />
- As well as her response: “Paradise is where I am” written in neon over the old<br />
communist slogan translated: ”The Life to the people. The future to Communism,”<br />
found here in the old the minting factory from the former East German socialist<br />
times. She seems to know what it takes to make the world go round, while being<br />
inside, and outside the box at the same time. She may reveal our helplessness to<br />
change the big picture at once, but encourages us to make small personal steps<br />
that sum up in the end.<br />

Would you like to know what comes next?<br />
Ralf Majewska is a master of various painting and photographic techniques and his<br />
experiments with material cross overs and image worlds never ceases to capture the<br />
beholder. His vast variety of pictorial expression seems to be endless, as his style<br />
is always different from the last. Reflecting the long path of art history and craftsmanship,<br />
he weaves a plethora of past stimuli of the art world into his contemporary<br />
works.<br />

Ulf Saupe<br />
Will I be there when you are gone?<br />
How does my chair remember me sitting on it?<br />
It is not particullary necessary to use a camera to make a photo. Just as you<br />
leave your footprints in the snow its also possible to leave your shadow on photo<br />
paper. Ulf Saupe works with the technique known as Photogram as it primarily<br />
captures the shadows of people and objects. “Looking from the other side” seems<br />
to be his point of reference. Rail guards of Berlin bridges, the shadow of a<br />
woman´s silhouette or inverted trees are present in absence. What the eye can<br />
not see the photo paper reveals ...<br />

Ulf Saupe<br />
Born in Halle, 1979, studied experimental alternative photography in Kassel with Prof.<br />
Floris Neusüss, master of the photogram. Ulf Saupe lived for three years in Madrid and<br />
worked there as an artist and press correspondent for a cultural magazine in Spain. He<br />
moved to Berlin in 2006 and continued working as an artist (until today) but very soon<br />
he established an experimental art space called Galerie SCALA. The space was open to<br />
the public for over one and a half years showing works by both young and established<br />
artists.<br />
Consequently, his background is both close to the contemporary artistic scene and to the<br />
history of photography. Furthermore, his skills led him to work for private collections<br />
focused on the 19th and 20th century photography. From 2009 - 2010 was running the Ulf<br />
Saupe Gallery in Torstrasse. Since autumn 2010 his attention is drawn again to his own<br />
artistic work as well preparing several independent art shows in Berlin for the next<br />
year.<br />

Remember the picture in my head?<br />
Mimi Laurenti paints imaginary landscapes. Places to remember? Journey still<br />
to do? Inspired by the landscape of Ibiza her aim is not to reproduce but<br />
rather a homage to creation. As she follows a long path in the history of<br />
painting which deals with observation of light, color and their combination<br />
her works arise out of an inner necessity.<br />

Maximillian Wiedemann<br />
How can I make a billion?<br />
Being one of London’s new shooting stars, Max Wiedemann does not follow the slogan: “Get<br />
rich or die trying”. Once working in the advertisement world, he was trained to know what<br />
people want. Taking the turn to become an artist, he seems to have switched sides. Despite<br />
this, the power of the written word and the language of seduction are still an important<br />
part of his work. Glamour Models, symbols of prosperity and catchy rhetoric fill his screen<br />
prints and canvases. - But wait …<br />
the models seem to melt, the slogans are turned around. - What does the artist want to<br />
say? “Don´t think - Just look”<br />
Maximillian Wiedemann - bringing High Fashion to Fine Art (Article in Fashion Mag)<br />
Maximillian Wiedemann takes high end fashion magazines and distorts and ingeniously manipulates<br />
their titles, making Vanity Fair; Vanity Unfair and Hello!; Hell! simultaneously playing<br />
with cover lines on magazine front covers, ‘Closer to God in heels’ which is an obvious<br />
attempt to look at the way in which we value and almost worship fashion, beauty and<br />
sex. Wiedemann states he sees himself as a ‘camera lens for celebrities’ and documents the<br />
habitat that surrounds us in the twenty first century, so people can also see what goes on<br />
in today’s society of celebrity culture.<br />
Wiedemann’s work is highly influenced by fashion and sex, in fact names Prada and Vogue as<br />
his main influences alongside Haring and Basquiat of the art world. And it was Karl Lagerfeld<br />
who introduced Max to the Editor of French Vogue at a restaurant in Paris, when Karl<br />
Lagerfeld bought a painting, hence thrusting Maximillian into the art spotlight.<br />
After being commissioned by VH1 for a series of paintings of Leona Lewis, Miley Cyrus and<br />
others Max Wiedemann has launched an Art-Vertising Company specializing in his provocative<br />
imagery of women that has come under fire from hated gossip blogger Perez Hilton.<br />
The type of ArtVertising project Edwards Wiedemann will work on is like the recent commission<br />
by music channel, VH1 to paint portraits of Leona Lewis, Miley Cyrus which Max was<br />
paid $30,000 to do so. He also painted portraits of Jordan Sparks, Adele, and Kelly Clarkson<br />
for the VH1 Diva’s campaign which was shown on major billboards on Sunset Boulevard and<br />
Rodeo Drive in Los Angeles. He also had his Diva advert collection plastered all over bus<br />
shelters in Manhattan, with his trademark signature on each one. This then sparked up<br />
controversy with hated gossip blogger Perez Hilton, who accused Wiedermann of photo shopping<br />
the paintings, which Wiedermann strongly denied.<br />
Cleverly Maximillian Wiedemann has reversed what made Andy Warhol super famous in the 60’s,<br />
by taking art and placing it in advertisements, rather than taking every day objects and<br />
turning them in iconic paintings. ‘I love to combine street context with fashion and<br />
luxury, I always felt that was a powerful combination as the rawness of Street art and<br />
hip hop creates an edge n the high end fashion world and luxury market’, he states. Wiedemann<br />
is, by this, shaping the future of how we view popular culture today.<br />
As Maximillian Wiedemann has such an innate interest in communicating fine art as a form<br />
of advertising and projecting this into the mass media, he has set up an ‘Artvertising’<br />
company with famous art & fashion photographer Kirk Edwards, to bring art into the world of<br />
advertising and marketing and to provide brands the association that comes with it.

Also similarly to Warhol, he has become of celebrity status himself whilst being quoted to<br />
saying, ‘I feel we focus too much on celebrities’. He has become iconic in his own right and<br />
this has only proved to emphasize the sexual elements of his work, by spray painting female<br />
derierre’s at parties and shows. ‘Girls really love the work. They always want one for themselves,<br />
and when you paint someone its a documentation and form of eternity for that person’.
