February Newsletter

BE WHO YOU ARE… “The summit of happiness is reached when a person is ready to be what he is.” Desiderius Erasmus

HAPPINESS – feel different

…. Some Moments make us feel happy. Some Moments make us feel sad. We can define the former, and focus on doing more of the things that make us happy. We can understand what makes us sad, but sometimes we cannot influence when these things happen – a physical injury, break of partnership, the loss of a job, the death of a pet etc. We can however improve our ability to handle those sad moments more positively by having a “positive balance” of  “happy moments” in our memory or “bank account”.

Vienna Hub from time to time promotes special “HAPPY MOMENTS” to increase your positive and happy memories. Here are some current OFFERS:-

Art Studio Visit – with Art Coaching, Spiritual Development and Relaxation. ( see image )

LOVE Special – a special moment to treasure with your loved one.

Sailing Regatta –  for experienced sailors or those wanting to try it out with an experienced skipper.

for more information on each, see the information here under “Happy Moments”

at The Take Away Art Project….

…. as you enter the door of the Gallery, you are met by two walls of small individual works “365 days/ nights of happiness” arranged as a “global map of humanity”. as your eyes move from one to another, exploring the diversity of colour and form, some catch your eyes for a while longer before moving on. it seems most people can select “a favourite” from the walls within a few minutes – its a personal thing, as is happiness!
 

extending your gaze down the length of the room, the spotlight picks out the intense orange of three “Simple Saja” works, created with the pure colour of pigment. they are matched either side by other works from this series.
 

on the right hand side now, opposite the imposing windows of the gallery, 40 small glass bowls of such richness in colour that you are tempted to pick them up and look at the light through them.  some have words painted around the rim, others are plain. opposite, on one windowsill, a series of glass pieces that could be paperweights, or ornaments. backlit here by small candles, the light flickers and shows the flecks of colour set in the glass, a little like the snowstorm domes which you shake, but these pieces of colour hold their place.

 

in another window, a set of waterproof shoulder bags with individual multicoloured designs on the flaps deliver a unique message.    in other areas of the room more glassware – bowls, candle holders, art objects – is on display, along with digital works, postcards and christmas cards. The main wall has a large display of the pieces of work which the show is named after – “Take Aways”  which are conversation pieces, stimulating the senses, and offer you some uplifting spiritual energy , just by looking at them, to take away with you back into your world. or, like an indian takeaway, you can take a piece with you to feast on at home or work… pleasure at your leisure … 
 

extended now until 16th January, with next event “ViennaHub Social Networking” planned on 5th January . come along !
 
wishing you all a very merry christmas and a very happy new year, Nigel

The month started with a sizzle, at CalDesign Atelier, currently hosting Brian Lee. Pictures of Vernissage here . A new and unexpected find at the evening were the young musicians in the photos, playing guitar and violin. expect to hear more from them soon. As for Brian, perhaps you will see him in Mödling soon, in a special art dining event at Jenny’s Asian Fusion, and or at a private viewing in Badstrasse. Mark Tuttle’s vernissage in Orthof wasn’t included for October, since it was in September, but of course since the show runs til 26th october, that is still current ( see paintings ) . He is starting a live painting of a 2m x 2m wood piece there ( near Semmering ) on 10th, and has a finissage on 25th October. He is currently working on new works based with lights – view here.

Petronilla Hohenwarter created her October image including some pictures from the Essl museum in Klosterneuburg, and is currently showing some of her take-away art works  in Mödling at die Metzger. See her later this month in a private viewing and discussion of her creative impulses at home in Lerchengasse, and also a display of her “in touch” series in a private showing in Badstrasse.
