Why do the blind have eyes? Why do the deaf have ears? Why doesn’t water have legs? Why haven’t legs have any hands? Why does everybody just count to ten? Why stones have no watches? Have you ever thought about that time is not money but your time? That the colors of other dimensions shine brighter than the panels of the closest mall? That something appears as recent as you look at it? Einstein does not throw dice and two lobster don't play poker but chess. To increase the resistance, three artist, (Timo Roter, Carl Gross and Christian Rothmaler) will show their works in the exhibition snail, snail, schnell — start down hubble pingggg. The idea for this show aroused from the collective from Hamburg, St.Pauli; when Roter put his hand accidentally into the tesla coil, which Gross and Rothmaler have been building for some experiments towards non-verbal communication. Immediately Roter developed the plan and concept for a show - he knew his psyche (and those of Gross and Rothmaler) has to be faced with the spirit of the progressive valley. The lady and gent open the gates of their Random Parts castle for the arriving ones. Small buses come in bigger buses with boys and girls in swimsuits. Some unshown future paintings will be revealed, which took a detour from the past to finally land - by pure chance - in the present. Our hope as well is that the most fervent critics will be present and eat some lettuce. We are awaiting impatiently and full of fear and happiness to have a look at those works; and to question the artists from overseas as to why they question so many questions.
