Armsrock has just returned from participating in the "Streets of Cairo" event, where European & Egyptian artists collaborated in 'a dialogue & exchange on culture'. The light works above are projected needle-etched slides.
He also pasted the Charcoal figure below, which became ghostly after
an interaction with the Cairo police.

"I have just spend the last couple of days in Lueneburg in Germany doing experiments with two light technicians there, trying out different ways of combining drawing with time based media. Analogue projections on site in Lueneburg.
"There is something really good in this kind of non-verbal dialogue between me, the audience, the architecture and the medium. and i like the idea about using analogue projection techniques in an increasingly digital age.
"a note on the size, most of the original drawings are no bigger than the surface of a hand, so there is also this uncontrollable aspect of the visual enlargement that holds me captured."

These were done with a series of 18 x 18 cm photo-slides, which had been developed black and then etched with an etching needle. The slides were then projected with Pani projectors through out the city of Eindhoven.
The project was conducted with the assistance of Kai- Uwe Schwenck of
Panirama, as part of
GLOW 09 – International Forum of Light in Art and Architecture.

Armsrock has been working on this mural as part of the
'Aktion Auktion' project, which aims to raise money for Iraqi refugees that are being deported from Denmark.
"Despite massive public demand to grant the Iraqi refugees humanitarian residence permits the danish government has chosen to start the deportations of the refugees arrested in Brorsons church in august.
Last week 22 Iraqis were deported, five of whom were, instantly upon arriving in bagdad, arrested by the iraqi authorities, their current whereabouts are now unknown. The rest of the deported are left with nearly no money, no connections and no knowledge of bagdad and a very uncertain future. The deportations have forced the remaining iraqis to go underground, and they are now being searched for by the danish authorities.
They need support now more than ever."

Armsrock has brought a delicate, forlorn beauty to the rusting ships and industrial waste of this 'secret place'. I love this.
The Armsrock + Chris Stain show, 'I Know There is Love', is running at
Ad Hoc Gallery (NYC) until September 6th.
