“Introducing…”, is an art salon style evening where 2 artists, designers and clever individuals introduce themselves via their creative activities. Each presenter determines the format for their presentation utilizing the beamer, computer slide projector and sound system here at Skizum Studios Berlin. MAP
The evening will start at 19.30 and run until 22.30 with a half hour break inbetween presentations. Entrance is free and there will be drinks available with smoking outside the studio only please. Part 1 of this series will be curated by Anna Maria O´Keeffe (Austrailia) and Desmond Shortt (Irerland):
Anna-Maria Okeeffe’s most current work is focused primarily on sculpture as meduim, through which a number of recurrent themes are explored, particularly the landscape panorama. These physical renditions of environments have ranged in size from miniature through to room sized installations at 1:1 scale. Images of some of these works and accompanying texts can be found at the following links:

Desmond Shortt is an Irish painter, “An enthusiastic exponent of contemporary Rococo and Baroque”. He joins Skizum after a six month tour of India where he began his music studies.
“His paintings are fantasy extravaganzas – preposterously camp pictorial inventions. They feature an eclectic cast of characters, including anthropomorphic, Disney-like cartoonish animals, fairy tale princes and princelings and wildly pneumatic, shapely nudes. “
