			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I really, really relate to a newsletter I received from David Romanelli lately, where he talks about his grandma who passed away a year ago. I also have an immense love for my grandma; she practically raised me and is 90 years now. I just talked to her on the phone since we are separated by the Atlantic Ocean. We talk about the same subjects pretty much every time but my time spent with her is always a mind opening experience. She expresses a lot of sentimental memories that although sometimes are depressing, make me think of the essential things in life, which are to be healthy and happy, quoting her.</p>
<p>As I discover myself hustling after a career as singer/songwriter and multimedia artist, spending countless hours in front of a computer, ruining my back, eyes and fitness, I repeat her words in my head. Most important is that you are healthy, a sentence every phone call starts with before she is reliving her painful stories of WWII, moving in every aspect for me ‘cause I have kind of taken them on emotionally since I heard them over and over since I was a child.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When she was a young mother of 3 she was deported from Bohemia located on the German and Czech border, loosing everything, house, home, her husband and her husband’s brother in a concentration camp. He was part of the social party and &#8211; against Hitler.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>She worked 3 shifts to pay off the house; they had built it with their own hands, the Czech dispropriated it and got rid of the Bohemian population. Raising the children by herself and lots of hardship was to follow since my grandpa fell into a long coma and it left her running a little farm by herself while she lived through this time of incomprehensible injustice done to mankind.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>She tells me about her life and I wonder how she managed to be as strong a woman and as inspirational for everyone as she is, radiating this incredible deep and wise aura. As her most delightful moments she considers working in the garden, eating whole bars of chocolate or boxes of pralines at once and having her children and grandchildren around. Really simple pleasures, that some take for granted, but living in peace, enjoying live and the very moment in good health is special.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>My most beautiful moment was recently as I discovered a picture of her in the garden with our dogs. It brings me right back to that beauty and familiarity, that warm feeling when you know you are loved. I think that sums it up, nothing is more delicious than binging or munching on love. It’s a wisdom that many commercials use&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pia-zierhut.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/IMG_0301.jpeg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-852" title="IMG_0301" src="http://www.pia-zierhut.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/IMG_0301.jpeg" alt="" width="320" height="240" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I feel blessed to share this with you all, because nowadays sentimentality, honesty and pure emotion often stay under cover.</p>

QUOTE about the artist P*I*A</p>
<p>“I consider Pia Zierhut to be an outstanding artist leading her generation in the field of experimental contemporary art and cross-over performance. ”<br />
Ottmar Hoerl, Director &#8211; Academy of Visual Arts, Nuernberg</p>
<p>“I was in need of a vocalist for a recording project and her voice and creative contribution was outstanding. We have collaborated on this and other projects&#8230;”<br />
Constant, Recording artist&#8217;s album released by Island Records &#8211; Quote</p>
<p>&#8220;We chose Pia Zierhut to be the first ever artist of non hungarian nationality to participate in our big travelling exhibition from 2004 to 2010. The works were shown in Siklos, Budapest, Belgrade, Moscow, Prague and Vienna will be shown in all of Europe&#8230;&#8221;<br />
Interview Siklósi Szalon &#8211; Siklos Global Travellor, Siklósi Szalon</p>
<p>“She was the only student in her class to experiment with many different types of media, such as sculpture, performance, installations, engineering, songwriting and singing.”<br />
Professor H.-P. Reuter, Academy Nuernberg, DE &#8211; Quote</p>
<p>&#8220;Pia is a rarely encountered talent who combines very complex and extremely work-intensive art works with brilliant multimedia performances. She designs this artistic stage and her own costumes, creates and records musical accompaniment, and improvises live sounds during her performances&#8230;<br />
Patrick Loschert, Gallery T40, Germany &#8211; Pressrelease for Solo Exhibition</p>
<p>“I was very impressed by the intensity of her work and the unique combination of conceptual insight and personal transportation through different mediums. Pia combined digital video, a three-dimensional collage, and music to present a very personal, yet universal, experience.”<br />
Ottmar Hoerl, visual artist, musician, cellist &#8211; Quote</p>
<p>“Spirituality is such a prototype that finds many bored exemples, but in Pia and her work it is revived. Not the technique, perfection in recording and mastering or knowing your instrument alone make a moving piece of music, but the ear, the spirit and the sound of an authentic individual.”<br />

SCHWEINFURT<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #000000;">Sad sky over New York</span></span><br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #000000;"> It ends with the Big Bang, the ethereal star dance on the canvas of the club Disharmony: You can tell that the choice-New-Yorker Pia Zierhut is, among other skilled artistic professions video artist. The ex-art student &#8220;on tour&#8221;&#8230;returned with her new show &#8220;Songs in 3D&#8221; back in her hometown. The 3D effects in the background&#8230; the restless wandering, glossy propagating tendrils, swirling stars and planets, swirling psychedelic colors, shapes and faces look so very fascinating &#8211; Timothy Leary would have been impressed.</span></span></a></p>
<p>&#8230; Flakes falling from the gray city sky, people hurrying past in the shadow of skyscrapers, it could be snow, but also the fallout from Ground Zero. &#8220;You!&#8221; is the song that was written in the wake of September 11, under, according to the artist, the &#8220;cloudy sky over New York.&#8221; &#8230; America can also be very sensitive, gentle and vulnerable, is one of the messages of P*I*A&#8217;s intimate songs. Husband Steven Ciric from Chicago accompanied her on the guitar and adds the delicate, soaring sounds of blues and folk rock elements.</p>
<p>The musical bite in the Big Apple tastes otherwise sweet, sometimes bitter, Zierhut&#8217;s American songs are urgent and profound, have naive charm and, despite all the experimentation would be most suitable also for coffee houses. It&#8217;s about universal love and human consciousness &#8211; acoustically and visually. P * I * A is her stage name with an asterisk, which stands for personality, identity, authenticity. After just over an hour, the presentation, before a cheering audience, ended, there are a few cover pieces, from jazz to &#8220;Over the Rainbow&#8221;: After the fresh experimental music one catches oneself in the realization of how dependent we actually become of such mainstream songs&#8230; Uwe Eichler</p>

Trauriger Himmel über New York<br />

Er endet mit dem Urknall, der ätherische Sternentanz auf der Leinwand der Disharmonie: Man merkt, dass die Wahl-New-Yorkerin Pia Zierhut unter anderem Videokünstlerin ist. Die Ex-Kunststudentin „auf Reisen“, Jahrgang 1976, kehrte mit ihrer neuen CD „Songs in 3D“ in ihre Geburtsstadt zurück. Mit den 3D-Effekten im Hintergrund klappt es nicht so ganz (es fehlen schlicht die Brillen). Aber die ruhelos wandernden, sich spiegelnd fortpflanzenden Blumenranken, wirbelnden Gestirne und Planeten, psychedelisch wabernden Farben, Formen und Gesichter sehen auch so faszinierend aus – Timothy Leary wäre beeindruckt gewesen.</p>
<p>Dazwischen Bildsequenzen: Flocken fallen vom grauen Großstadthimmel, Menschen eilen im Schatten von Hochhäusern vorüber, es könnte Schnee, aber auch der Fallout von Ground Zero sein. „Hey Joe“, heißt der Song, der unter dem Eindruck des 11. September 2001 entstanden ist, unter dem, so die Künstlerin, „traurigen Himmel über New York“. Was auch immer dieser Tag der sonstigen Welt an Unheil gebracht haben mag, ihre heimliche Hauptstadt, „the City“, hat er im Innersten getroffen. Amerika kann auch sehr sensibel, sanft und verletzlich sein, lautet eine der Botschaften von Pias intimen Liedern. Ehemann Steven Ciric aus Chicago begleitet an der Gitarre, steuert den zarten, hochfliegenden Tönen Blues- und Folkrock-Elemente bei.</p>
<p>Der musikalische Biss in den Big Apple schmeckt ansonsten süß, manchmal zartbitter, Zierhuts amerikanische Songs sind eindringlich, haben naiven Charme und wären trotz allen Experimentierens wohl kaffeehaustauglich. Es geht um allumfassende Liebe und menschliches Bewusstsein – akustisch wie visuell. P*I*A lautet ihr Künstlername, mit Sternchen, was, für Persönlichkeit, Identität, Authentizität steht. Nach etwas über einer Stunde ist die Präsentation, vor kleinerem Publikum, beendet, es folgen einige Cover-Stücke, von Jazz bis „Over the Rainbow“: Nach der frischen Experimentalmusik ertappt man sich bei der Erkenntnis, wie abhängig man eigentlich von solchem Mainstream geworden ist. Ansonsten weilt Pia Zierhut auch im Lande, um noch Schweinfurter für eine gemeinsame Reise nach New York zusammenzutrommeln. Start ist in den Pfingstferien, Infos bei der Disharmonie: Tel. (0 97 21) 2 88 95. Uwe Eichler</p>

<p>Editor Montag Stiftung Bildende Kunst, Bonn, in cooperation with Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Nürnberg 112 pages, 110 ills. in color, with DVD Paperback, 24 x 18 cm E 24,00, sFr 43,00 ISBN 978-3-939738-91-6</p>
<p>Four symposia in two years: the series “Getting out of the Ivory Tower!” (2007/2008) provides an insight into the current discussion of conditions in further education at art academies and forms a platform for controversial discussions. In Nuremberg, Münster, Vienna and most recently in Leipzig, opportunities and perspectives of education for artists were discussed, and it came down again and again to the issue of how the neuralgic transition from art college to a freelance existence is structured and how the academies prepare their graduates for this. One volume is devoted to each symposium, summarizing the works of the contributors, along with extensive visual material. A DVD is included with each volume. This helps to make them indispensable handbooks for all those who are thinking of making a living through art.</p>

<p>In June 2007, artists, curators, art historians, teachers and students gathered in the Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg for two days to talk about &#8221;new paths of art colleges into society &#8220;. In this first symposium of the &#8221;Montag&#8221; Fine Arts Foundation series &#8221;Getting out of the Ivory Tower!&#8221; different perspectives and strategies were discussed. Lectures, posts and the documentation of the workshop are now published in a book. On 112 pages it addresses theory and practice, from the opportunities and prospects of the art training to myths and mechanisms of the art business.</p>
<p>The art historian Christian Demand asks, &#8220;How serious is the Academy about their own teaching?&#8221; Professor Sigrid Schade, currently teaching in Zurich, draws upon her research of the handing down of artistic myths, <span style="color: #800000;">while the young artist Pia Zierhut brings her thoughts on the subject to the point under the title &#8221;The Art Academy and the Afterlife - a virtual bike ride through Manhattan &#8221;</span>. An extensive photo project, &#8220;in the face of - a project in public space&#8221; is the result of a workshop conducted by the artist Thomas Rentmeister with students of the academy following the symposium.</p>
<p>Thirteen essays and a DVD reflect the first part of a discussion series, which chooses the topic of the mismatch between academic training and subsequent work experience.</p>

<p>&#8220;Im Juni 2007 trafen sich Künstler, Kuratoren, Kunsthistoriker, Lehrende und Lernende in der Akademie der Künste in Nürnberg und diskutierten zwei Tage lang über „neue Wege der Kunsthochschulen in die Gesellschaft“. Bei diesem ersten Symposium der von der Montag Stiftung Bildende Kunst initiierten Reihe „Heraus aus dem Elfenbeinturm!“ ging es um Positionsbestimmungen und Strategien. Vorträge, Beiträge und die Dokumentation eines Workshops sind jetzt in einem Buch erschienen. Auf 112 Seiten geht es um Theorie und Praxis, um Möglichkeiten und Perspektiven der Künstlerausbildung, um Mythen und Mechanismen des Kunstbetriebs.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Der Kunsthistoriker Christian Demand fragt: „Wie ernst nimmt die Akademie ihre eigene Lehre?“ Die in Zürich lehrende Professorin Sigrid Schade beschäftigt sich mit der Tradierung von Künstlermythen, während die junge Künstlerin Pia Zierhut ihre Gedanken zum Thema unter den Titel „Die Kunstakademie und das Leben danach &#8211; ein virtueller Bikeride durch Manhattan“ auf den Punkt bringt. Eine umfangreiche Bildstrecke dokumentiert „angesichts – ein Projekt im öffentlichen Raum“. Es ist das Ergebnis eines Workshops, den der Künstler Thomas Rentmeister mit Studierenden der Akademie im Anschluss an das Symposium durchgeführt hat.</p>
<p>Insgesamt dreizehn Textbeiträge und eine DVD spiegeln den ersten Teil einer Diskussion wieder, die das Missverhältnis zwischen akademischer Ausbildung und späterer Berufspraxis zum Thema hat.</p>

Florian Waldvogel stellte exemplarisch seine konzeptionelle Arbeit auf der Kokerei Zollverein in Essen vor und die junge Künstlerin Pia Zierhut fand Parallelen zwischen ihrer Videoarbeit „Bikeride durch den Central Park Richtung Downtown Timessquare&#8221; und dem Weg angehender Künstler von der Akademie ins Künstlerleben. Der Berliner Künstler Thomas Rentmeister gab einen Werkbericht und bearbeite im Anschluss an die Veranstaltung Themen des Symposiums in einem Workshop mit Studenten der Nürnberger Akademie.&#8221;</p>
