BOHDAN STEHLIK / UNA SZEEMANN: WHITE NIGHTS DARK DREAMS
CACT - centro d'arte contemporanea ticino -
Bellinzona, CH Switzerland
 The series of 68 black and white photographs of various dimensions entitled DARK MOVIES (2007) in room 1 opens the personal show of BOHDAN STEHLIK and UNA SZEEMANN (1973, 1975) at the CACT - Centre of Contemporary Art in Canton Ticino. Hung randomly in the first room, like an accumulation of crazily dancing still shots, this work comprises a veritable introduction to the exhibition‚s theme, but also the exemplary, successful genesis of the work done by this artistic duo since they got together in about 2006. DARK MOVIES actually provides the interpretative key that automatically opens the doors to all the rooms in the exhibition, a key around which Stehlik and Szeemann decided to develop a joint effort that questions artistic languages from a point of view both of theme and of semiology.

DERIVATIVISM - sandwiching oils between digital buns
Pygoya, USA
There is a difference in my creative art process between "copy" and "replication." Let me explain. As artist I start off with digital tools, use oil paints as an intermediate step, then end up with a digital derived final product. So how does this compare and differ from the commonplace procedure of reproducing paintings by copyists? I'll try to clarify so here goes-
I started off in painting and sculpture, earning a master's degree in Studio Art (Northern Illinois University, 1975). This developed an affinity as well as artistic sensitivity for the expressive powers of the paint medium. But with the introduction of the personal computer (PC graphics) in the 80s, I decided to emerge along with it as digital artist. I abandoned my paint tubes and brushes. In the beginning I was a purist, never scanning or importing photographs (of course back then there was no digital camera). I took pride in starting with clusters of pixels on an otherwise blank monitor screen. But times have changed and my attitude and approach has evolved along with the medium. My work now is truly "multi-media" or as they said before, "mixed media." I am now free to use whatever resources are available to make innovative imagery.
