Alterazioni Video

Alterazioni Video Work from I Would Prefer Not To. “The relationship, both passioned and obsessive, which the group developed in a daily engagement with the web provides the backdrop of this project. For months the artists lived on Google-images and on different search engines appropriating the experiences and memories of other users with whom they […]

Marco Manray

Marco Manray Work from Why is there something rather than nothing? and Flatlandia. “Why is there something rather than nothing? This is the question that Leibniz poses while wondering about creation.Entering in the Metaverse, the question remains the same.Why is there something rather than nothing?How will the future landscape be? Where will our avatars pose […]

Arabella Campbell

Arabella Campbell Work from her oeuvre. “Aligned with a systemic approach to abstraction exemplified by the work of Agnes Martin and Robert Ryman, Arabella Campbell is becoming increasingly recognized for her formally and conceptually meticulous practice. Her work often acknowledges the edges of its own material and institutional support structure, to nuance and qualify our […]

Caroline Bachmann and Stefan Banz

Caroline Bachmann and Stefan Banz Work from their oeuvre. “Let’s imagine a situation that everyone familiar with the art scene regularly sees or personally experiences: the puzzled expression on the face of a viewer when looking at a painting, his/her eyes surreptitiously shifting from the artwork to the blank wall, in search of a label […]

Casey Reas

Casey Reas Work from The Protean Image and Process 18 (Object 1, 2). “The Protean Image plays with the mutable nature of software. Participants modify the software by filling out programming cards that are inserted into The Protean Image Machine.

Sofia Hultén

Sofia Hultén Work from Points in a Room Condensing. “Sofia Hultén tries in her work to repair things that are broken, or alternately, to make them disappear. Rarely are these two objectives achieved independently, so that the focus of her videos and photographs becomes instead the circular process of making and unmaking of a series […]

Qiu Yang

Qiu Yang Work from his oeuvre. While not indicative of all of the images here (really just the bottom one), the statement below gives you a peek into Yang’s process.  “This work is a visual study of the iconographic value of certain objects and items, which would repeatedly appear in Playboy centerfolds between the years […]

Esther Shalev-Gerz

Esther Shalev-Gerz Work from her oeuvre. “Esther Shalev-Gerz takes an intuitive approach to the portrait, which she apprehends as a possible reflection of a person, place or event that in itself is never stable or definitive. She is interested in people and in what they say or do not say (their silence) – in their […]

Susan Robb

Susan Robb Work from We’re Coming, We’re Coming, Wait Up, Stones. “Susan Robb’s sculptures and built environments transform common objects into ideological hybrids of flesh, nature, and technology. Drawing on empirical observation, reflection, and imagination about her immediate surroundings and contemporary social issues, these hybridizations are open-ended investigations into the kaleidoscopic intersection of culture and […]

Charlie Youle

Charlie Youle Work from This is the End of the World and Horror, Anxiety, and the Continental Holiday. “This series of prints depicts a quiet and scenic apocalypse, an unexplosive sci-fi fantasy of two worlds nearly colliding. The scenes are set in the past and refer to a constant changing and dying of the surface […]
