Motions paintings on News Paper from the happenings of the moment on public places on the road since 1999 / Concept art by Barbara Streiff

Text; NY Artsmagazine International 2000 by Dr. phil. Astrid Brunner)

1999 was the beginning of the project motions paintings and portraits in the station of Glarus CH, where the artist Barbara Streiff lives and works. Scetches from the people, they was waiting and moving on place. This art is nt freshened, emotions and movement are allowed, and every body is welcome to be a part of this action. In the dark and quiet waiting room, where before was only the clock " tick-tac", comes live in.

2000/01 Perfromance NYC. She sits at the Grand Station, at Broadway, China-Down, Central Park, at Place Pigalle, a current newspaper on her knees. The daily rags around the world are her canvas. The intent of these action " Comics" is expressionistic "free flow of everyday life." They speak of pasion, pathos, and skill. This "boulevard performance" mirrow from the inside of what passes outside. The process of tis action " Comics" is intuitive.

(Text Dr. phil. Astrid Brunner / Performance Artikel NYArts International 2001)

Sie malte und stellte aus, wo die Menschen Zeit hatten, gemalt zu werden und in einer Ausstellung die entstandnen Werke zu betrachten. Diese künstlerische Arbeit des beobachtenden Skizzierens und festhalten von zufälligen Begegnungen, Geschehnissen gibt den Orten selbst eine neue Bedeutung. In der expressiven Malerei werden Leben, Emotionen und Bewegung zugelassen und die Menschen werden dabei beachtet.

1998 Performance & Installation Bahnhof Glarus

performance of expressive motions painting on news paper by barbara streiff in train station glarus

1999 – 2007 "All is hanging online" is on the road around the world. Barbara Streiff`s installation/performance of expressive motion paintings on newspaper capture the happenings of the moment in public places. 1999 was the beginning of the project motion paintings and portraits in the railway station in Glarus, Switzerland, where the artist Barbara Streiff lives and works. The artist sketched people as they waited and moved through the station. This art is not freshened, emotions and movement are allowed, and everyone is welcome to be a part of the action. She painted and exhibited directly on the wall in the waiting room. The quiet, dim room, where before only the ticking of the clock could be heard, came alive. The work “expressive motion paintings of happenings” lent a new importance to the public space. 2000 – 2001 Performance in New York. (Text: NY ARTS December 2000) She sits at the Grand Station, at Broadway, Chinatown, Central Park, at Place Pigalle, a current newspaper on her knees. The daily rags around the world are her canvas.
