Solo Exhibition: Disparate Bed Fellows at Galerie Dusseldorf
November 18, 2012 to December 16, 2012
For more than 30 years, Janis Nedela's studio practice has concerned itself with codes and the possibilities of art as an infinite flow of seamless text.In this exhibition he has embedded meanings and stories into what, at first glance, are disparate objects which include books, the printed page, pencils and crayons.The seduction of colour, surface and grids has become a pre-occupation and the works are obsessively linked to the nature of text. They operate optically and contemplatively.See More

Robert Heather said… - Janis - there is a lot of stuff happening on these pages and feel free to add to it all - post a blog entry about your book/monograph and it should appear on everyone's main page (are you set up so that people can order it online from yourself or a bookstore as some may be interested). You can also post photos of your work.
Glad to hear that you had a good break - it all passed so quickly for me.
All the best,
-Robert-
