Eva Petrič:   RBRC art intervention #3 at Porgy&Bess Jazz Club Vienna curated by Rudi Leeb Galerie June 5 - August 31 2024  Artworks: Eva Petrič: - Earthling, plexi glass sculpture                                    - RBRC mobile  Lyrics and Vocal: Eva Petrič Camera: Eva Petrič, Branko Orasche Editing: Ivan Klarič, Valentin Čertov  Eva Petrič: Earthling, my Stem Cell Potential figure translated into a lace pattern, visualizes, and expresses the interconnectivity within ourselves - our bodies, when viewed on the cellular micro level, and within our society on a macro level - among societies on a planetary level as well as on the level of stars, at an intergalactic level. We are all part of this pattern where everyone is connected, sustaining, and being sustained by a yet bigger pattern. Thus, my Earthling image and figure representing Stem Cell Potential is a TOTEM to the many ways, often invisible, by which we are interconnected. It is showing and rejoicing the potentiality arising from within each person. It shows not only the zigzags and twists and turns of life, but also the interweaving myriad of connections that form human society and connect humans, just as love does… We are like threads, caught in loops of emotions in patterns of past and future generations of human society.   Eva Petrič, RBRC whistler corona mobile, 2021, mobile RBRC, a River, a Bridge, a Road, a Clock Chime… whistles the Corona mobile, spinning in the air the last encrypt message of Ai Fen before her mysterious disappearance in the midst of the corona virus pandemic...  RBRC, a River, a Bridge, a Road, a Clock Chime… RBRC, a River, a Bridge, a Road, a Clock Chime…  RBRC, a River, a Bridge, a Road, a Clock Chime…Was the message that Ai Fen left the world with, whom she had months before, whistled to about the threats of the Corona Pandemic, warning of its very beginnings. RBRC whistle corona mobile is a mobile, moving, transforming, mutating, warning. Floating above rivers, crossing bridges, spiraling through landscapes, overtaking clock chimes, it plays its child-like lullaby tune, since the time of Ai Fen's whistle having been silenced, mutating… RBRC whistle corona mobile is an assemblage of emotions from found collages kept within handmade doilies and laces. With its collages and assemblage of intricate webs of laces from all over the world it illustrates the collective web in which we are all caught within, the web spun by a collective virus, fishing through the air, that we all collectively share. It shows that the virus can be tamed only with the collective effort of all people.  RBRC whistle corona mobile floats in the air- the assemblage of different chemical elements, on found recycled covers of drums, accompanied by a sound memory assemblage of RBRC, the words which are meant to warn us, as also the sound of drums warns us of an arriving threat, summoning us into action.   ©Eva Petrič
