3. The artworks of Came Lecce and Jörg Christoph
Grünert summarize a creative processes that the two
artists have in common. They use introspection, and self
reflection, as a source for triggering creative processes in
the production of their works. These processes are not
activated for pure aesthetic or artistic sense, but to
elaborate visions and re-examine experiences, horizons of
humanity. In the work on themselves they make the
culture and the human events work together.

4. Jörg Christoph Grünert, sculptor, performer, playwright,
trainer of artistic and theatrical pedagogy. Presents fragments
from his long investigation and research in the visual arts that
recall sensations, criticisms and questions to the contemporary
world through a expressionistic and informal use of materials.
ِExhibited are paintings, drawings and watercolors from the
series "Night Diaries", an artistic diary born from the trips of
cultural exchanges and cooperation lived by the artist, since
2004, in Lebanon. https://issuu.com/jorg-christoph-grunert
Cam Lecce, actress, mask, trainer of theatrical and artistic
pedagogy. Presents masks made with the ancient technique of
papier-mâché in layers. The chromatism and the materiality of
the patinas range from the effects of precious metals, materials
such as leather, molds, from archaeological historical finds and
organic colors. On display masks linked to the Italian Commedia
dell’Arte. Cam has won the Montauti Art prize. https://

5. The masks of Cam Lecce, characters of the commedia
dell'arte and of the cosmogony, through the elaboration
of precious patinas of particular charm, speak to us of
the ancestral anthropological value of the mask not
only for its theatrical value but for its sociological and
ritual values that the mask represents from the earliest
days of human beings till today. “The masks have an
interesting secret life”, Cam says.

7. Jörg Christoph Grünert/ The Topos II-V
The Topos II-V works belong to the artistic vein
that the author calls "meditating on material".
Although these works present themselves as
abstract material compositions, the author seeks,
through a mimesic creative process with the
material itself, to give shape to the absolute value,
the ecological value that material represents in
itself. A value that has been lost in consumer
societies in which the material has only a utilitarian
value of exchange, consumption or social status.

9. Jörg Christoph Grünert/ Night Diaries
The "Night Diaries" (since 2003, over a hundred
watercolors) show us that art is a language, that it is
possible to form an "alphabet" of feelings,
sensations, perceptions and proprioceptive faculty
through the meditation of the composition, colors
and shapes that underlie the creative process of the
language of art.

Zeitengen I-IV (Lebanese version) are included in

enigmas placed directly to the social, political and
anthropological contemporaneity of human beings.

and with four examples (paintings) belonging to the
"hommage a la liberté" environment that directly
