The Beautiful Formula Collective is about painting and creating collective works based on The Beautiful Formula Language. The Beautiful Formula Language makes it possible to understand the course of compositions, to realize the compositions and to design new ones. We use the combination of spontaneity, improvisation, and rhythm in applying colors to surfaces. The Beautiful Formula Collective paints not only in the studio, but also in public spaces. The Beautiful Formula Collective has performed and exhibited in Kyiv, Singapore, Zurich, Istanbul, London and Wuhan, to name a few stops.
The Platforms Project is an international exhibition of the independent art scene and has been presented every year since 2013. The objective of Platforms Project is to map artistic action as it is produced in the context of collective initiatives by artists who decide to join forces in seeking answers to artistic questions by creating the so-called platforms.

Not to be confined by the greatest, yet to be contained within the smallest is a definition, which declared the enterprise of the artists group Rhythm Section.
The substantive trait, which linked the artists of the group Rhythm Section in their works is the commitment to a hyper reflexivity in dealing with the rhythm, not as a compulsion, but as an original constant. The clear handling of the rhythm allows an endless variety of individual variations.
Rhythm Section is a platform for artists, who are interested in an exchange on the subject rhythm in the visual arts.
Rhythm Section consists not only of visual artists representing installation, drawing, video, sculpture, painting, digital art to name a few, but also of art critics and theorists, philosophers, teachers for rhythm and movement.
Parallel to the group shows, Rhythm Section organizes artist talks, lectures and symposiums on the subject rhythm in visual arts.
The objective of Platforms Project is to map artistic action as it is produced in the context of collective initiatives by artists who decide to join forces in seeking answers to artistic questions by creating the so-called platforms.

THE BEAUTIFUL FORMULA COLLECTIVE setzt sich auseinander mit Malerei und schafft kollektive Werke, in einer Kombination aus Spontaneität, Improvisation und der Logik des Rhythmus. Das internationale Ensemble, dessen Mitglieder u.a. aus München, Kiew, Berlin und London kommen, produziert Gruppenarbeiten auch als Live-Painting-Performance vor Publikum, an Kunsthochschulen, Galerien und Museen, bisher z.B. in München, Zürich, Istanbul, Teheran und London – und jetzt bei ep.contemporary in Berlin.
Ziel ist ein Austausch, wie er pandemiebedingt vermisst wurde, auf sozialer, medialer und künstlerisch-ästhetischer Ebene: über Begriffe wie Malerei, Bild, Schönheit und Rhythmus. Ist so etwas Subjektives wie Schönheit in Formeln zu fassen – und wenn ja, wie? Welches sind die Zugriffe, auch aus anderen Disziplinen wie der Musik, dem Tanz, der Mathematik? Wie ist das Verhältnis von Planung und Improvisation, zwischen Individuum und Kollektiv, zwischen Regeln und künstlerischer Freiheit? Welche Rolle spielt der Prozess, welche das Ergebnis? In einem Künstlergespräch werden solche Fragen diskutiert. Die entstandenen Arbeiten bieten Anlass zur weiteren Auseinandersetzung.
Anknüpfen lässt sich ein Austausch darüber, wie sich Künstlergruppen organisieren, wie sie interagieren. Während bei der Gruppe um die Berliner Produzentengalerie ep.contemporary der gemeinsame Raum im Mittelpunkt steht und die Mitglieder recht unterschiedlich arbeiten, geht es bei The Beautiful Formula Collective mit Schwerpunkt in München um einen Prozess der Interaktion, die gemeinsame Arbeit im Medium der Malerei, an wechselnden Orten und Räumen.
