Peter Fischli and David Weiss

Peter Fischli and David Weiss Work from Der Lauf der Dinge. “An unambiguously CORRECT result of experiments exists; this is obtained when it works, when this construction collapses. Then again, there is a BEAUTIFUL which ranks above the CORRECT; this is obtained when it’s a close shave or the construction collapses the way we want […]

Yunior Mariño

Yunior Mariño Work from his/her oeuvre. “The immensity of the sea, the sound, its utopic dimension and such mixture between the instant and the eternity. Yunior Mariño has built a language that moves around paintings photography and installations establishing a connection between the micro moment, the instant and the eternity, the nothingness and the absolute, […]

Lindsay Lawson

Lindsay Lawson Work from Das Ding (and others). “The thing in itself (das ding an sich) is an object independent of the senses. It is a thing without a viewer: tangible, but not perceivable.

Klea McKenna

Klea McKenna Work from Slow Burn. “Klea McKenna describes her series Slow Burn as “an ongoing series of experiments” in which each image reveals or teaches her something that leads her to the next. This approach—photography as a heuristic process, in which the “eureka” moment of one image pushes us forward toward new discoveries with […]
