Pavel Büchler Work from his oeuvre. “Büchler belongs to a generation of artists directly influenced by the discoveries of 1970s conceptual art – or, as he insists, by the creative misunderstandings that conceptual art suffered in translation to the Eastern European cultural and political context. Summing up his own practice as “making nothing happen”, he […]

Miriam Böhm

Miriam Böhm Work from her oeuvre. “In her photographs, Böhm enquirers into the very nature of the art object; how it is made, perceived, and how way we derive meaning from it. She uses the act of photography as a series of iterations, taking many photographs of one object or motif, from different perspectives, and […]

Brian Khek Work from his oeuvre. “Interpreting our relationship with information as a visual spectrum of didactic signifiers, the images in my work subjugate and expand physical experiences simultaneously. The fixed image inherently rephrases an experience. Documentation of this work is not interchangeable with the original object. It instead behaves as a different language through […]
Thomas Bayrle

Thomas Bayrle Work from his oeuvre. “There is an obsessive and darkly visionary quality about much of Bayrle’s work but, crucially, there is also plenty of wry humour and pleasure in the absurd and the idiotic. Contrary to the visually pluralistic tendencies of other artists with mixed allegiances to Pop and Conceptual art as well […]
Gregory Polony

Gregory Polony Work from his oeuvre (mostly Debut, his ongoing show at Herrmann Germann in Zürich) “The exhibition focuses on how we approach and interpret sculpture. Extending across various media, and partly site-specific, Gregory Polony’s work draws on a reduced palette of materials, including found objects, cement, wooden boards, and lashing belts. His conceptual approach […]

Hugh Scott-Douglas Work from Moire Paintings. “Scott-Douglas makes work that refers to production itself, to its consumption and to its container, using visual cues gleaned from minimalism and op art. The central dialectic of the work springs from the tension between the need for a rigid authority figure, on the one hand, and the very […]

Riyo Nemeth Work from her oeuvre. “My work is often based around an interest in people’s perception of, and reaction to, archetypes, associations and cultural memory – and how they might try to relate their previous experiences to something they’ve never seen. ‘Suspension of disbelief’ is the phrase I’m interested in – which is to […]

Sophie Eagle Work from her oeuvre. “Surreal, monumental, graceful. Eagle takes Brancusi’s Endless Column and stages its repeated collapse on a classic American desert highway. Seductive, in slow motion, the demise of the structure does not disturb but soothes.” – Bloomberg New Contemporaries ICA London
Xavier Antin
Saturday, 15 January 2011
Xavier Antin Work from Just in Time, or A Short History of Production and Printing at Home. “Xavier Antin is for sure the unsung king of creative desktop printing. In “Just in Time, or A Short History of Production” he aligned up four generation of desktop printers to produce, all in one go, a 44-page […]

Saturday, 25 December 2010
Iman Issa Work from Triptychs (and others). “Issa’s Triptych series (#1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6) from 2009, is a group of six beautiful wall installations comprised of photography, video objects and texts. They are images of places she collected in New York and restaged; settings that occurred through a personal psychological process in order to reveal personal associations. […]
