June 15 — August 31, 2008
The OMC Gallery for Contemporary Art

Sabine stellt ihre Photos im Rahmen der Ausstellungsreihe „AIXCELLENTE KUNST“ in Aachen vor - noch bis zum 5. Juli. DesignFaces zeigt “eine Serie von fotografierten Selbstportraits der Künstlerin, die sie mit Grafiken, Typografien, Designelementen und Zeichnungen am Computer auf eigensinnige Art verfremdet hat”.

Einige Photos sind auch online bei Artbreak zu sehen.

The OMC Gallery for Contemporary Art will be presenting photography works by Sabine Groten, as part of Portfolio, “an eclectic exhibition focusing on that part of the artists oeuvres, which has been dedicated to one special theme”.

Sabine, who made the BAD FACE SHUFFLE design for the iPod shuffle, about her work:

Different picture drafts, designs and developing arrangements as well as collages, based on photography, vector diagrams and sketches. Many works are on the basis of photographed selfportraits, which show me in a certain period of my life or document my everyday life. By my treatment of the Portraits at the computer the topic of the own person as well as my selections are resumed and manipulated. Thus this series of pictures based on the fusion of graphic-designs and photographic portraits contain a common component, which represents both elements partly with equal standing, as well as with new stress ratios and picture effects. Thus completely normal everyday life photos get a completely own and certain personal aesthetics, which are different with each picture.
