Oliver van den Berg: Star projector, Laminated birchwood in front of Carina Randløv: Air Bubbles, mixed media

Collected here for the first time are excerpts from the legendary traveller Katie Jane’s eponymous travel journal. Inscribed on the first page of the anthology is a dedication and thank you from Katie Jane to Italo Calvino and Marco Polo. From 17/11/2006–07/01/2007, a copy of this volume of the travel journal will be given to each visitor to the Contemporary Art Centre, Vilnius, as they discover the work of sixteen young artists currently involved in the Berlin art world. The artists’ work ranges from the epic and fantastical, to those considering the politicised reverberations of exploration, from abstracted moments of adventure, to actions and events that activate the space and play with a real-time element of journeying and journaling.

The tales begin with Stefanie Bühler's windswept blackened Farn and continue through technicolour bubblegum menacing landscapes by Bettina Weiß, and take a series of turns and passages through the post-colonial work of Peggy Buth, David Keating’s Global Village Idiot, Stephan Kaluza’s portrait of the Rhein, photographic evidence of the cult of the Golden Dolphin by J&K (Janne Schäfer & Kristine Agergaard), a captured moment Aura by Filipa César, Matthias Reinmuth’s extracted countryside, Romana Schmalisch’s film Der Berg and an internalising star projector by Oliver van den Berg.
