00:00 We are at the Art Fair here in Cologne and it's the group of Gallery Museven.

00:07 We are Frankfurt based and we are specialized on really young positions.

00:13 Specialized on paintings and really young positions.

00:19 Young people who are in the academy or postgraduate.

00:26 How long does the gallery exist already?

00:30 Three years now.

00:32 Is this your first participation in an art fair?

00:35 No, no, no, no, it is not.

00:37 We are doing art fair, this Cologne art fair, for the third time now.

00:45 From the beginning?

00:47 Yes, from the beginning.

00:49 From the beginning we did the Vienna fair this year and Moscow art fair.

00:55 So it's a more international gallery.

01:00 Are you happy with the art fair in Cologne?

01:02 Yes, we are.

01:04 Are there a lot of people here?

01:06 Yes, a lot of people.

01:08 They are not only interested but they are the right people for us who are really keen on these young positions.

01:22 We have also young collectors and buyers.

01:26 Young collectors, young buyers, almost the same generation as the artists.

01:30 In the background we have a rather big painting.

01:36 Called "Panorama".

01:38 That's the title.

01:40 And it is a panorama indeed.

01:43 The artists are two young Berlin-based artists, Wolfgang Barthes and Michael Hanisch.

01:52 And they are painting and working together.

01:55 Not always, but on several paintings they decide to paint it together.

02:01 They don't use the same studio.

02:04 So everybody has his own studio and even if they work together they stay in their own studio and paint there.

02:14 How long have they already worked together?

02:19 I think for three years now.

02:22 But only for several events.

02:26 This big panorama they worked more than ten weeks.
