DORMICE – Dormicelab<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

We don\u2019t want to defend ourselves against any risk \u2013 in fact, we\u2019re looking for collective risk.
\nArt is a spiritual experience, an apparition.
\nIt has led us to work together, anything else is unthinkable for us.
\nDORMICE\u00ae<\/p>\n

DORMICE\u00ae is a group formed in Vienna in 1999 by three artists: Dougal Graham, Heinrich Nicolaus, Sawan Yawnghwe, from Europe, America and Asia.
\nThey live and work in Vienna, Paris and Panzano in Chianti, in workshop-studios that are active 24 hours a day. The DORMICE\u00ae have a particular aptitude for making everything jibe: music with sports, tags with fashion, art history with war, recipes with Caravaggio-like tones. There is no simulation, no posing of the subjects: the coexist peacefully on the canvas, because they were born in a chorus, polygamous, pantheists, born Gregorian, polyphonic, in stereo, in Dolby-surround. There is nothing that fails to interest the DORMICE\u00ae, and to tell the truth perhaps art is not even at the top of their charts.
\nThe group lives DORMICE\u00ae, thinks DORMICE\u00ae, listens to DORMICE\u00ae music, chooses DORMICE\u00ae. Every day.
\nTherefore the show presents not only the pictorial works, but the entire world of DORMICE\u00ae with their music, their logo, their favorite magazines and catalogues, their habitat, demonstrating how the group is capable of re-creating a temperature that is theirs in any place.
\nThe entire building of Galleria Antonio Colombo in Milan will be \u201ctranslated\u201d into the DORMICE\u00ae language, through an installation of works and objects that help the spectator to get in tune with the spirit of the group. The show, though it contains a large number of painted works of different sizes (about 30), will not be a traditional exhibition, but a place in which to meet to live a different experience of painting. The DORMICE\u00ae undeniably live in a particular state of mind, so full of stimuli, intuitions, provocations and deductions that the DORMICE\u00ae themselves, in spite of their incessant work, can never exhaust the supply.
\nOften they find themselves running well ahead of their work itself.
\nThe show is an exhibition of the painting of the DORMICE\u00ae, which has \u201coverflowed\u201d a bit, scattering fragments of the world in its vicinity.
\nFor this occasion the mixtures assumes the name of DORMICELAB
\nDon\u2019t miss this appointment with the thought, taste, colors and images of the contemporary planet.<\/p>\n
