Last December Matthew Dols visited me in my studio to talk to me about art, the art market, artist residencies and the ideas of art production. Matthew developed the podcast "The Wise Fool Pod" to gain very personal insights into a section of the art world.

The research project "Quint Print Glass" was initiated by Michael Wegerer and was funded by the Vienna Business Agency as within the creative project and awarded a prize in 2018. This project aims to develop new recipes for alternative printing methods for the production of coloured designed glass. In addition to screen printing technology itself, new (ecological and water-based) printing pastes, ceramic pigments and possible combinations with digital technologies were tested and findings for the respective design options were derived. As a result of this research project, a publication is now available that provides an insight into the various qualities and possible applications of printed glass. >www.quintscreenprint.com
The whole project was supported by – Creative Project der Wirtschaftsagentur Wien

In January of this year, the Wahrepuke Gallery Prize in Kerikeri was followed by an invitation to a solo exhibition and artist in residency, which I had gratefully accepted.
_web.jpg "AIR New Zealand")
In the context of the solo exhibition, a series of the screen prints "Northern Light" from scanned skylight and new expressive cyanotypes on tissue paper were shown. For the first time, the series was accompanied by screen prints of geometric shapes and repeat patterns. The four-week residency at Wahrepuke Studio was dedicated to the study of various visual languages in the Pacific and the Maori. At Wahrepuke Studio, I did a number of sketches in preparation for a new series of prints on glass and architecture.

Transversal Spheres, 2015
Geometric shapes and typefaces of historical text and image sources originate from advertising copies of the local newspaper BADENER ZEITUNG 1910-15 - a time when Arthur Schnitzler visited regularly BADEN the city of culture and health resort south of Vienna.
Through its attachment onto the automatic sliding glass doors at the main station, the text generates various combinations and overlays, when the passengers opens and closes the doors and its movements disrupts the textual order of the initial text.

The works shown at Rostrum are dealing with the grammar of objects and images in relation to a particular place: Malmö. The images are originating from Michael Wegerer's virtual travels on the Internet, as well as from his stay in Sweden in June 2014. He transmits elements and fragments of reality by one or more process steps and translates it to a new and subjective context.
works on display:
Video projection of the scanned midsummer sky in sweden, cut plot foils of media images and drawings, screen-prints on wall paper and floor presenation, textiles and a sound installation.
