Adam Cruces

Adam Cruces Work from his YouTube Channel. Cruces’ oeuvre contains some hilariously self-reflexive videos that are a great snapshot of current trends in contemporary video/net art. His works are referential to many of his contemporaries, the most notable of which is Constant Dullaart. His video of Mary Lou Retton recalls Dullaart’s Stabilized Earthquake or the […]

Martin Kohout

Martin Kohout Work from his oeuvre. Series of modified videos of people kick-starting their motorbikes, sound of the engine removed. All taken from YouTube.com and put back as a response to the original footage. Second version, 2008. _________________ One frame from the film Cast-Away (dir. Robert Zemeckis) printed and distributed as a postcard in edition […]

Keith Telfeyan

Keith Telfeyan Work from his oeuvre. “I believe in the freedom of things, and the energy that moves around and through the world like wind. I create as an act of expression, to assert my pulse, to live. The things I create enter the world as transformed energy, and exist freely. I make pictures that […]

Pauline Bastard

Pauline Bastard Works from Western. These are stills from Bastard’s video in which she traces the contours of the landscape with the spinning color wheel. Much of her other work is quite fascinating as well, I highly recommend her website. “My work is about objects. By making sculptures and images, I create an extravagant dialectic […]

Ben Chang

Ben Chang Work from Becoming. “Becoming is a two-channel computer-driven video installation, in which two computer animated figures live in a minimally-furnished virtual domestic space. They stand and watch the viewer, yawn, sit on the sofa, talk on their cell phones, each on their own LCD screen. Alongside this simulation, another process continually manipulates their […]

Tim Steer

Tim Steer Work from his oeuvre. “How do we account for the affect of materiality in a particular work? One way to think about it is as a process. This is not an original point. In “The Time of Digital Poetry: From Object to Event”, Katherine Hayles develops a more sophisticated description of materiality than […]

Aleksandra Mir

Aleksandra Mir Work from her oeuvre. Mir is performing at Exit Art tonight. Below is an interview from the Venice Biennale with Roberto Balò & Lorenzo Capanni. The first question is obviously: what are you going to show at the Biennale? I have printed 1 million fake postcards of Venice, entitled “VENEZIA (all places contain all […]

Greg Stimac

Greg Stimac Work from his oeuvre. The stills from above video projects in no way due justice to even the most basic appreciation of content. Please go to his website to check them out. “Greg Stimac works within a mode of photography with a rich history, the photographic series constructed from images captured in travels […]

Sol Hashemi

Sol Hashemi Work from Study for ‘The Natural Landscape’, Five Plastic Tablecovers, and Eight Bottles of Champagne.  “Leaving my studio, I get in a car. I drive to the nearby IKEA with the sole purpose of picking up free furniture brochures. I make it out with a twenty-pound stack. I spend two weeks cutting free […]

Kelly Richardson

Kelly Richardson Work from Twilight Avenger, Exiles of the Shattered Star, and Wagons Roll. It’s hard to pinpoint what’s so unnerving in Kelly Richardson’s video and photographic work at Birch Libralato. It could be the way the unnatural is continually made to appear natural. While it might seem that Richardson is making a statement about […]
