Stephanie Syjuco

Stephanie Syjuco Work from her Temporal Aggregate/ Social Configuration (Borrowed Beuys) and Unsolicited Fabrications: Shareware Sculptures. “My recent projects use objects and surfaces that look strangely familiar, manipulating conventions of style and structure to create “mixed-use” items.

Viktoria Binschtok

Viktoria Binschtok Work from Suspicious Minds. “Viktoria Binschtok finds her motives in public space applying equally her own as well as found photographic material.

One crucial aspect of her artistic work is to […]

Kate Steciw

Kate Steciw Work from her oeuvre (and her Tumblr). “Photographically, and aesthetically, I am interested in making a photograph “other” letting it move beyond the 2D and exist in 3 and even 4D spaces or implied spaces but also juxtaposing the mundane or expected with the altered or intangible.” – Kate Steciw via P.S.1 via […]
