“Gelitin is a group of four artists working together in Vienna - Tobias Urban, Wolfgang Gantner, Florian Reither and Ali Janka. They met in 1978 and formed a partnership in 1993. Gelitin have shown in many international exhibitions including "Dionysiac," at the Centre Pompidou, Paris and the first Moscow Biennial, both earlier this year. In 2003 they were commissioned to make a performance for the first Frieze Art Fair, London, and in 2002 they made events for the Gwangju and Liverpool Biennials. Gelitin represented Austria at the 2001 Venice Biennale. They have participated in the first Performance Biennial in New York and the Art Sheffield 05 citywide forum”. Gagosian gallery
"HUGRIS" in wonderland
Imagination is the essence of being. It can shape reality. Only those who see the invisible can accomplish the impossible. To use imagination is to see the invisible, feel the intangible and achieve the impossible. Those who say it cannot be done should not interrupt the ones doing it. Namely, people of imagination have a logical idea of what life is all about. It takes that kind of realists to believe in miracles. Refresh your imagination with everyday miracles. Is that so hard to do? We know what to do, but do we do what we know? Life leaps like a geyser for those willing to drill through the rock of inertia. Standing still is for statues. The world moves, and ideas that were good once are not always good. Today the grass is as green as it gets. Grow where you are planted. What will be has always been. If we change the way we look at things, the things we look at change. Is that so hard to do? Never mistake motion for an action. When we change what we believe, we change what we do. Imagination is like an adjustable wrench, it fits almost any nut! A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle. Minds are like parachutes - they won´t work unless they are open. Imagination dares the soul to go beyond what the eyes can see. We are only responsible for the effort, not the outcome. Imagination is hope in things unseen. Never limit your future by doing only what you have done in the past. Is that so hard to do? Heighten your perceptions and lower your expectations. Discover yourself! Everything else has been done. Imagining love is much better than reality love even when you are doing it. Never doing it is very exciting. Is that so hard to do? What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
