About the work (english / deutsch) All the Wonders of this World
The structure of Jochen Flinzer's installation resembles that of a trade fair stand. On the outside walls Flinzer has embroidered in red and blue polyester thread copies of the opening pages of Donald Duck comics from nine different countries. In other words, each panel belongs to a different linguistic region. The panels have been combined such that the comic pages from the two erstwhile superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, are directly opposite each other. The positioning brings to mind the old confrontation of capitalism and communism. However, if we consider the sequence of the positioning, then the panels from the Asian and Arabic cultures are foregrounded, and the European countries rather pushed aside. One could understand this combination of the individual countries as a pointer to the future importance of all these cultural regions. The limited selection of Donald Duck pages, creates a questionable tension in combination with the title. Does this mean that today we only find „all the wonders of this world" in the "global Disneyland"? The title prompts associations with a favorite illustrated book from the Sixties, produced and distributed under license by Bertelsmann, the German media multi. (Gööck, Roland (Hrsg.): Alle Wunder dieser Welt. Die großen Sehenswürdigkeiten von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart. Genehmigte Lizenzausgabe für Bertelsmann. Gütersloh, Hamburg 1968.) It was the period after Germany's economic reconstruction, after the "economic miracle". In its badly planned, inhospitable cities, West Germany was again orienting itself toward the outside world. The Germans were again experiencing wanderlust. With what was superb quality considering when it was published, the book presented large color reproductions of the main attractions of the world - predominantly major technological and architectural "human achievements".

Gerd Binnig was a German physicist famous for inventing the scanning tunneling microscope or STM with Heinrich Rohrer, in which they received a Nobel Prize in Physics in 1986.

Gerd Gigerenzer is a German psychologist, behavioral scientist, statistician, writer, and educator who shaped our understanding of heuristics. Gigerenzer mainly studied the use of bounded rationality and heuristics in decision-making. Together with Daniel Goldstein, he was the first to theorize the recognition heuristic and the take-the-best heuristic. He did so by providing evidence that a lack of familiarity with a topic can actually result in an individual making more accurate inferences. Gigerenzer has been a strong critic of Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky’s work, arguing that heuristics should not lead us to believe that human thinking is biased. Instead, Gigerenzer believes that we should think of rationality as an adaptive tool that is not consistent with the rules of logic. Today, Gigerenzer is the director of the Harding Center for Risk Literacy at the University of Potsdam. He has been able to apply his ideas outside of academia as the founder of Simply Rational, an institution that investigates decision-making. Gigerenzer also holds a director emeritus position at the Center for Adaptive Behavior and Cognition at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin. Intelligent decision making entails knowing what tool to use for what problem. - Gerd Gigerenzer, Risk Savvy: How to Make Good Decisions Michael Voss An introduction can be a wonderful thing. You can meet interesting people, and make new friends. You can be introduced to your new favorite foods, books, music, or artist. I’d like to introduce you to some of my favorite artists. Some of whom I’ve been familiar with for years, and others I’ve only recently been introduced to. The person I’d like to introduce is the artist Michael Voss. Michael Voss,Gloris Corona, 2013 ——– Artist’s Statement “As a painter I believe there are as many ways to make a painting as there are possibilities to do anything else in life. My work has been to explore some of these possibilities. Therefore , there is not a preconceived set of rules that drive my work, but an explorative, quite intuitive and open-ended process, that is aware of not only the improvisorial character of the painting at hand, but also of the provisional character of the notion of painting itself.The single painting achieves its resolution through it’s own means. Or, in other words: the painting is specific.” MV Michael Voss, Michale, 2012 Michael Voss was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil.He studied at the academy of Fine Arts in Munich, Germany, where he became Meisterschueler of Prof. Gerd Winner.
