Phil Chang

Phil Chang Work from Double Exposure. “In her 1977 essay “Notes on the Index,” Rosalind Krauss defined contemporary art as indexical. The work that fascinated Krauss was that which indicated an elsewhere, that is, work that was proof or evidence of what was not apparent in the work itself (such as documentation of earthworks or […]

Carlo Van de Roer

Carlo Van de Roer Work from Orbs and Blinded by the Light. Van de Roer has some amazing, critical, and conceptual projects that cover a wide range of photographically-specific commentary. I advise you to peruse his website. There is also a great interview / article from Pilot Magazine about Blinded by the Light that you […]

Nathan Baker

Nathan Baker Work from Seminal. Spend some time on Baker’s website, he has a wealth of great projects. “‘Seminal’ critically examines the dynamic between mass media production and pop culture internalization. The work operates under the assumption that through its dependance on mass media, the contemporary ideal of pop culture has abandoned content through its […]

Nicholas Knight

Nicholas Knight Work from the Sentence Diagrams, Frame & Photo, and Taking Pictures. Interview with Nicholas Night: Jordan: In much of your work, there are underlying (and sometimes blatant) references to the production, deconstruction and obfuscation of the original (sentence, work of art, floor, frame, etc). Quite possibly, it is this method of working/thinking (which […]

Gerhard Richter

Gerhard Richter Work from Overpainted Photographs. “A less well known aspect of the work of Gerhard Richter, the ‘overpainted photographs’ are not simply an answer to those who feared that photography had murdered painting, but an integrated work of material and colour. Countering the imposing format of his better-known paintings, these small overpainted photographs (mostly […]

It is art realeased into the wild and reliant on the viewer to keep the work in existence (in the most literal sense). Go check out the other videos on his […]

Banksy’s work vandalized

I don’t normally post articles, but the irony of this is hilarious. Check here and here. Maybe I will post Banksy tomorrow in honor of the hilarity.

Tudor Bratu

Tudor Bratu Work from Album, Record, and Night Study #4. Bratu’s website is a cornucopia of projects, go visit it. ______________________ Album: “By altering the initial order of images, using blanks and empty space as image, the seemingly real of the facsimilae reproduction of the album, is contradicted by the absence and displace-ment of the […]

Sabrina Jungs

Sabrina Jungs Work from the series Displays Unplugged and Himmel. ________________________ General Statement – “To have a view is a visuell phenomenon capable of satisfying human longing, a experience extraordinaire. An impressive view is sure to leave an imprint in the viewer’s memory. Above all, an image of the view connected to feelings of grandeur, […]

Krista Wortendyke

  Krista Wortendyke Work from (Re:) Media. This is fascinating work about appropriation, photo history, media consumption, etc. It runs the gamut of critical analysis / critique about photography. I strongly recommend you look at Histortical Intervention as well. “Although most of us have never experienced war, we are surrounded by its imagery. This project […]
