Rolf Wojciechowski
Rolf Wojciechowski, originally from Berlin, Germany – lived and worked in Michigan as a free-lance visual and installation artist from1985 to 1990.
During that time some work was exhibited at CLARE SPITLER works of art Gallery, in Ann Arbour. The gallery closed to the public around the millennium, but Wojciechowski’s work continued to be viewed by invitation until this year.
Clare Spitler is now retiring from a life of dedication and commitment to the promotion of art and artists. She will be much missed by all who did business with her.
After Wojciechowski’s return to his native Berlin, he continued his involvement with local artists from Michigan until 2000.
In 1998 Wojciechowski remarried and moved to Newcastle, UK where he now lives and works.
Since his last exhibition at WCC in 2000, his interest has mainly focussed on the local coastline and surrounding countryside.
Much of his work is still based on photography and collage, but also includes large- scale indoor and outdoor installation which focuses on environmental issues.
Some projects document the impact that the changes from former industrial landscapes into green spaces have on local communities.
Others seek to heighten awareness of the importance of the conservation and preservation of the coastline, and the protection of marine-life.
One such project was a collaboration by Wojciechowski, local poet Keith Armstrong and Tyne Metropolitan College.
During a two year engagement with ’The Artist Network’ - a North East based artist- led organisation which supports its members in Open Studio events - Wojciechowski had the opportunity to show his work to a wider audience.
As a result of interest shown and ongoing dialogue during this period, he felt the need to begin work on a publication which will inform and lead to a deeper understanding and appreciation of the conceptual aspects of and the complexity of visual perception in his art - the driving force in his work.
