Juan Gatti's drawings representing human anatomy alongside exotic animals and plants with taxonomic references conveys a visually indulging collaboration. What is most attractive about the works is the mixture of human and animal. for me the visual effect of stripping the skin off man to then be displayed more harmoniously with 'nature' is an insightful congruence into the development of man. These drawing also attest a reference to a personal int rest in medical and natural illustration. Seeing the way this is done is always an intrest of mine.

Bartholomäus Traubeck has created a record player that interprets tree rings into music. By a complex light system, fluctuations in the trees life span from a cross- section similar in size to a record are reproduced by a link up to a piano. This interrelation is suggestive of a mechanised relationship to the 'natural' that is creatively in tune.
