Four Square Films
Four Square Fine Arts began working with Last Bus in 2008 to create a series of short interview based artist profiles. Four Square Films focus on artists in their own words and from the second film are supported by insightful footage of studio processes.
The aim of these films is to contribute to a broader understanding of contemporary art practice, whilst stimulating questions about the creative process, nurturing new dialogues between artists, students and art lovers.
We also look forward to including them as a valuable resource within our unfolding educational program. To find out more about this program click here.
About Four Square
Education
In 2009 we set out to develop a range of initiatives that went beyond the traditional exhibiting role of a commercial gallery. Supported and encouraged by the desire of many of the artists we represent, we believed it was time to share, engage and communicate in new ways with young people and adults. Four Square Films, our ongoing series of short documentaries exploring questions that drive the practice of artists working today, was a first step. However this has quickly grown to include workshops, scheduled artists talks, links with schools, and podcasts, so we've decided, the time is right to host these strands together on a sister site devoted to our educational work.

Karoline Bröckel
"Perhaps you see clouds in the sky float past, or perhaps birds in flight. You absorb images that change from one moment to the next. The wing beat that was just in the present is now already past - and the next one, so recently in the future, has become the present: the future and the past obviously collide in the blink of an eye, touching on the fine line that we call the present."
Stefan Klein, The Secret Pulse of Time
Karoline Bröckel draws moments in time. Spending most of her time outside with a paper and pencil she studies the swallows following their flight path, watches snowflakes floating, branches of a birch tree moving in the wind while her hand guides the pencil. This requires an intensely quiet concentration.
There is nothing arbitrary in these drawings, instead there is a precise intelligence contained within these journeying lines, translating with faithful correspondence, in a similar way to an electrocardiogram accurately depicting the activity in the heart – a precise visual connection, amplified through the pencil’s tip – a translation of information from one dimension to another.
These re-visions of often common place events that we take for granted, invite us to a look afresh at events within the landscape as they unfold before our eyes.
