mandyreinmuth

Hello everybody,

long time no speak. Hope you all had a great start for 2010 and bring much creativity for the NEW YEAR. First of all, many many thanks for all of you watching me and the always lovely support which is much appreciated.

So I hope you will also enjoy my brand new website. It is a wordpress BLOG and I find it is much easier to work with it than with my previous website. There are still a lot of things to do, descriptions to write and to translate and so on.. . The site is at the moment mostly only in German but will be coming soon in English as well. As this is my very first BLOG and I am completely new with it, I would be very happy and proud to read some nice comments below my articles. So, if you have some free minutes and dont care about the German (feel free to comment in your language!!), you would make me feel very thrilled!

Please check out www.mandyreinmuth.de and let me know what you think!

Take care guys and speak soon..

"Contemporary pop art or lounge art" - is how the Leipzig artist categorises her artworks.

At the end of the 20th century a new style of music was born. It was inspired by the rediscovery of the lounge in the form of trendily decorated bars in which seating comfort is also seen as important, in contrast to the traditional American bar. Lounge music. Not the name of a genre, it is more of a collective term for compilations of tunes that have something in common: relaxing songs that are eminently suitable as background music in any comfortable lounge or for making a leisurely evening off even more pleasurable.

It is a complete mixture of styles, anything from ambient, trip hop, acid and nu jazz, taking in light house and extending to older musical styles such as jazz and easy listening, often enriched with Latin-American and African influences. Does this musical trend need a corresponding development in art? Without a doubt! Just as lounge music borrows from the 50s, 60s and 70s, the colours and forms of Mandy Reinmuth's pictures are also characteristic of these times, and of the 70s in particular: 'Crazy, sexy and cool' is how the artist describes her pictures, which perfectly reproduce that very attitude to life we call 'lounging'.

If you are now saying: "Lounging? Never heard of it! What is it?", we recommend that you go to the record cabinet, take out a bossa nova record, perhaps Antonio Carlos Jobim or some jazz (Stan Getz would be perfect), set it playing and meanwhile look at some of Mandy Reinmuth's pictures. Once again, the pictures and the matching music say considerably more than the last 278 words.
