projecto de arte com sacolas – Brasil
Museu de Arte recebe exposição alemã “Arte com Sacolas”
Museum exhibition at the Museu de Arte de Londrina in Brazil (750 000 Inhabitants, 500 km from Sao Paulo).
For the “Brazil Bag Art Project” I am working with the kids of the Favela Franciscata .
The children are painting on tote bags, which then will be part of the Installation at the Museum.
The Installation and Exhibition will be published in a catalogue and then go to other Museum Exhibitions in Europe. With the project we are supporting the Giovane Elber foundation which organizes schools and education for the children of the Favela.

He has invited dozens of peaple to decorate these bags, a remarkable series of individualized promises. They show us states of well-being and experiences which the creators of these images wish us. I see in them signals of human solidarity which have become ever the more important in our times of crisis. But it is for us to accept these wishes and to fill these forms with content.

Thitz exhibition in the new showrooms of the Galerie Alex Schlesinger, Zürich
New works March 13 - April 18 2009
After the Art Karlsruhe ended so successfully, the expectations were of course great, which new works would be presented by Galerie Schlesinger in Zurich for the opening on Dec. 12, 2009.
"Of course, the work for the exhibition in Zurich had long since been reserved" said Thitz. And smilingly adds that one could only prepare a good exhibition when the most important images stay initially "secret" in the studio and then will be shown first at the beginning of the exhibition. "Otherwise all images would be gone immediately and so wouldn't be exhibited!" Thitz painted most of the pictures especially for the presentation with Alex Schlesinger! For the first time in Zurich will be shown some selected works on paper which had already been shown in 2007 in Offenburg by the then chief of the museum Mrs. Susanne Asche (now Cultural Office Head in Karlsruhe) were described as "the Alphabet of the artist Thitz".
A special image from the new series was also sold - like the "Paris Nuit" from the Night Images series. Zurich also gets a place of honor with a collector.

Gallery owner dr. Patrick Loschert had already acquired his first large Thitz work in 1999 and is very pleased about the new pictures. In the spacious rooms on the ground floor the latest canvas works and exquisite paper works by Thitz will be shown. After the "Bag Messages", which cross the pictorial space in earlier works, ink drawing has now also spread to the entire picture! Now, as a viewer, you hardly have the chance to ever discover all the details in the works.
At the same time, the worth seeing installation "Buffet to go" by the artist Marion Eichmann will be shown on the upper floor.
BAGS AND ART
A project by Thitz
Exhibition and bag project in city gallery for art, Schorndorf
Big return of the bag action
On the occasion of the exhibition "Bag Art Global" in the galleries for art and technology, Schorndorf, artist Thitz conducted one of his artistic bag surveys. 1200 citizens responded to the request to fill a specially made bag with a personal or otherwise important item, to paint it, or to design it somehow. All bags became part of the installation. After the end of the exhibition, the bags could be picked up again.
During the very beautiful opening of the Thitz exhibition on July 4, Thitz and jazz musician Dieter Seelow revived the idea of dialogue between the arts in a live performance in front of the 300 visitors.
An introduction to the artist's work was given by the Stuttgart art historian Ricarda Geib M.A. (jread now - in German only)
"Globalization does not just happen like that - we humans do it and should therefore make it human." (Thitz )
"Born in 1962, German artist Thitz is known far beyond the European borders for his bag projects. Bags from all over the world are the basis of his artistic work." Dr. Lutherbacher, Head of the Grenchen Museum (CH)
"Thitz is the traveler of the 21st century. Thitz builds social ideals on the technical possibilities of our time. Travel means communication and exchange with people, a dialogue with foreign cultures. He uses the bustle of the big cities to show us his communicative and above all peaceful version of a globalized world. Brown, red, green or blue people live here harmoniously together." (quote: Curator Mrs. Anja Wenn, book text "Painted Cities", Municipal Art Hall Karlsruhe, 2006)
Thitz is constantly searching for connecting elements among people and cultures. Due to globalization, local cultural elements from all over the world, from Africa to Australia, as well as all related viewing habits, are now simply juxtaposed. The bag is one of the proofs of an already existing global culture - People all over the world use bags to buy bread or even carry all their belongings with them like the New York "Bag People". In the projects, Thitz always receives honest, human answers on the bags that reflect the culture of people in their true and unaltered way. This makes Thitz's installations a model of a locally limited, subjective but absolutely true art concept.
The Schorndorf project "TÜTEN-KUNST" ("BAG-ART") creates a thematic as well as a spatial relationship between art and everyday life. The Kulturforum Schorndorf (click for more info) has already distributed more than 5000 bags in cooperation with Schorndorf Centro (click for more info). The invited citizens were inspired both by the text on the bag and by the location of the presentation in the museum on the subject of art. In the form of their answers, of course, all participants were again free. Thitz challenges us to approach art without fear of being scared. He subversively asks about our individual definitions of art with the most innocent of all media - the bag.
