Pascal Sender’s solo exhibition can be admired in the physical world as well as in Augmented Reality. Don’t miss this breakthrough in new media art at Saatchi Yates inaugural show.
Sender studied at Kunstakademie Düsseldorf under Peter Doig before moving to London to study at the Royal Academy School. Sender paints complex studies of the human figure and everyday scenes of contemporary living - a receptionist on her phone, an oiled-up bodybuilder posing for a selfie, a man waiting for a bus.
Besides being masterful paintings, Sender has created an innovation so that the pictures can be viewed in Augmented Reality. He has hand coded an app, so that when viewing his paintings through your phone camera, another digital perspective is revealed. The paintings jump off the canvas appearing as three-dimensional forms, his characters moving and interacting with the viewer. This breakthrough in new media art presents a unique reflection of modern life.

Wednesday November 4, 2020 at 7.30PM
As you all are aware with the Covid-19 lockdown all the pubs, bars and restaurants are still closed in Scotland, so is also our normal Stammtisch at Le Di-Vin canceled. But thanks to new technologies we are able to have our Stammtisch in everyone's livingroom, having our own drink, conversing over "God and the world" and keep perfectly our social distance no matter how "heated" our discussions become. We do this again as we did on our April, May and June Stammtisch with a zoom meeting on our laptops, tablets or computers and even smartphones.
All you have to do is to install the zoom app on smartphones and tablets or the Zoom client on laptops and computers and if you like to join, send us a PM and we provide you the link and credentials needed. See you every first Wednesday of the month!

The Swiss Church invites artists to apply for two three-month residencies from March to May 2021. The artists will have access to the Church over this period and a workspace can be arranged if wished. An opportunity to be mentored by an appropriate Swiss Church Art Committee member can also be requested. Artists from all artistic disciplines as well as curators are encouraged to apply. The artist in residence is asked to share extracts of their work with the public at the end of the residency.
Throughout its history, the Swiss Church London has fostered a dialogue between art and faith, between parishioners and cultural practitioners coming to the space. Therefore, the Swiss Church continues to contribute towards current and broad socio-political conversations within an increasingly secular society. Arts and music connect to the story of our society and culture. We create a threshold between the sacred and secular worlds, exploring the common ground and what Christianity means to us today.
Application deadline: 26 November 2020 at midnight GMT
The chosen project will be announced on 15 December.
