Alexander Schellow, born 1974 in Hannover. Lives and works in Berlin, Germany. Schellow has written on his work in the following way: ”The main focus is on drawing as a practice, as work to be performed. Accordingly, the actual ’drawings’, as visible remnants of the process, are not drawings in the sense of results or products but are more a kind of trace; in a very basic sense, they are a materialisation of spent time.” Spent time... the connection that may be established with Schellow’s world takes place in this strange dimension, where two personal spheres of ”spent time” intersect in the most sidereal of places. The site may be a post office in downtown Berlin, which he portrays in a 3 second window of time, drawn from his memory. A literal ”animation” in the ether, which in its turn may draw the place in question from someone else’s memory, in an act of pure telepathy. This is, again, a time that ”remains”, which means that it stays outside of the overarching linear articulation that we live by, the one that give us our daily coordinates. For Vita kuben Schellow will show the result of a two weeks residency in Umeå.
