Curatorial Statement
This is not an exhibition—it’s a high-profile aesthetic invasion, a declaration of revolution through desire. Bluerider ART curates at Breeze Center with Venus Temple of Desire, creating a space where luxury, speed, technology, and art collide to challenge all conventions of fashion and art.
Venus rises from foam transformed. She is no longer gentle or shy—she waits for no definition, accepts no name. She leads, conquers, dreams. She is fearless. Venus becomes the embodiment of modern female agency, commanding style, mastering desire, living with intention. She turns aesthetics into power—through fashion, objects, gaze, and movement, she awakens the divine spark within us all.
As an F4 Formula car drives straight into the exhibition, power meets beauty in a head-on crash. The venue becomes a temple, desire a new faith. When viewers step into Marck’s provocative human-sized box, art becomes a chamber of voyeurism and control—no longer passive, but immersive and divine. Each work dares you: Don’t just look—enter, feel, own it.
This exhibition assembles some of the boldest voices in international contemporary art across video, installation, painting, and sculpture. Swiss artist Marck uses video sculpture to trap viewers in a physical and psychological theater of gaze and desire. American artist Desire Obtain Cherish (Jonathan Paul) tempts with Meltdown—a sugary satire of branded visual culture. Swiss artist Thierry Feuz’s Silent Winds whispers with explosive subtlety. German artist Willi Siber’s Baroque Pearls shimmer with opulent illusion—Venus reborn in material splendor. Norwegian artist Kari Anne Helleberg Bahri explores textiles as intimate second skin. German painter Susanne Kühn blends comic aesthetics with feminine complexity. American artist Carol Prusa draws with silverpoint, channeling Renaissance technique to explore cosmic truth. Austrian artist Isabella Kohlhuber transforms Marxist text into large-scale visual language.
Desire is the light of being—flickering between absence and pursuit.
In Lacan’s mirror stage, it is the fissure through which the self emerges.
In Hegel’s historical dialectic, it is the engine driving the realization of spirit.
In Deleuze’s philosophy, it is a ceaseless process of becoming, connection, and creation.
Desire is how we relate to the world. It is the point of departure for artistic creation and the driving force behind every aesthetic revolution.In Venus Temple of Desire, desire no longer whispers or conceals itself.It takes form in metal, breathes through moving images, and burns in color.It awakens from myth, emerges from reflection—unapologetic, sovereign, alive.
This temple refuses singular beauty and fixed identity. It dismantles boundaries of style, gender, matter, and mind—embracing bodily agency and rewriting desire. Style becomes an aesthetic rebellion. Life becomes a performance of self. Art, fashion, and luxury are smashed, fused, and reassembled into new sensory codes.
We don’t just love taste—we lead the wave.
We don’t just view art—we are the art.
We don’t just depict desire—we live it.
This is Venus Temple of Desire—eternal, youthful, and unapologetically alive.

Willi Siber
(Germany, b. 1949）
Willi Siber (Germany, b. 1949) graduated from the University of Stuttgart, majoring in Art History. He currently lives and works in Upper Swabia, Germany, and is renowned for his abstract installations. Siber states, "My works are always free and independent objects that do not need to be narratively explained." Drawing from the Baroque art and cultural landscape of southern Germany's Upper Swabia, as well as being surrounded by the boundless natural scenery, Siber transforms and distills the Baroque's opulent colors and rhythms, along with his profound connection to nature, into his abstract works. He continuously explores the plasticity of materials, focusing on shape, color, and texture to overturn viewers' visual perceptions. In 2023, he was awarded Germany's most prestigious cultural honor, the "Oberschwäbischer Kunstpreis." In 2019, he held a retrospective exhibition celebrating 40 years of his work at the Villa Rot Museum in Germany, with his works permanently collected by institutions such as the German Bundestag, the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, the Städtisches Kunstmuseum Singen, the German Embassy in Argentina, Deutsche Bank, private museums Kunstwerk, and Museum Ritter, among others.

Since then, he has created environments marked by excess, repetition and the unpredictability of technological processes, in which he aims to engage the viewers by questioning perception in relation to space, time and language. He develops multi-referential works which play with spatial environments and promote multiple interpretations. Recent exhibitions include Artists & Robots at the Grand Palais in Paris (2018), Cybernetic Consciousness at Itaú cultural in São Paulo (2017) and the Venice Biennale (2013). In 2020, he achieved the creation of a permanent public artwork, Double Connection, nearly one hundred metres long in the centre of Shanghai.

Janna Watson
(Canada, b. 1983)
Janna Watson（Canada, b. 1983）uses abstraction as both an escape from and return to the real. As the world we know dematerializes into paint strokes, so too does her paint take stage as its very own character in a multi-act drama of composition. Bundles of colour, made up of discrete yet inseparable instances of pigment—what Watson refers to as “moments”—are teeming and poised as though caught mid-multiplication. Sweeps of paint re-direct sharply and fold over themselves; thin, rigid ink lines cut into the pictorial field as rudimentary elements in an increasingly complex system of painterly language. All the components play out on a surface of slow, chromatic gradation. Like many of Watson’s players, these backdrops tenderly gesture toward the familiar, stopping just short of representation. The result is a conceptual project (and distinct, stylistic signature) that speaks to a contemporary milieu in which abstract painting is not the retreat of meaning into an unrecognizable realm, but rather the emergence of medium as a “figure” in its own self-inscribed world of feeling and being. Watson does more than reveal paint’s potential to emote—she gives it a space to reveal itself, in its own time.
Štefan Papčo
(Czechoslovakia, b.1983)
Štefan Papčo's aims are the contemporary forms of use of alpine landscape, primarily the mountain climbers' community well known for their readiness to willingly enter bordering life-threatening situation. Thanks to this fact, he thinks of climbing society as worth a long term observation. The artist confronts and reviews the forms of landscape, use with the lands history for the past ages. The space illustration of extreme situations and settings from the mountain climbing environment offers the possibility to grasp the space as a text predetermined for recording of important elements in contemporary development of the society that uses the outdoor space. The strategy of typological investigation of the mounting climbing environment is based on formal minimalization of existential experiences, the process interventions and an active climbing experience.
