Katharina Grosse Work from I Think This Is a Pine Tree at KHB. “In a large room, three tree trunks lie haphazardly in a pile at a slight angle to the wall. They have been stripped of their branches and bark but their roots remain intact, awkwardly protruding into a closed doorway. The trees along […]

Katja Strunz Work from Berlinische Gallery. “…Four pieces, 3 sculptural works and one work on paper, whilst the curation of the show seems balanced, the necessity of having four pieces seems perhaps doubtful. The space is rightfully dominated by two large-scale sculptural works titled ‘ Tellurische Kontraktion’ and ‘Tellurischer Riemen’. Tellurischer Kontraktion greets you on […]

Wade Guyton Work from his current exhibition at Petzel. “In 2007 Guyton showed a series of black paintings made with his Epson 9600 printer and covered the gallery’s concrete floor with a facsimile of his studio’s plywood floor.

Edgar Martins Work form The Rehearsal of Space & the Poetic Impossibility to Manage the Infinite “In 2012 I approached the European Space Agency with a very ambitious proposal: to produce the most comprehensive survey ever assembled about a leading scientific and space exploration organization. I have contacted ESA at an interesting time in their history when they […]

Halina Kliem Work from her oeuvre. “We find here a characteristic logic, the peculiar logic of the “inside out” (‡ l’envers), of the “turnabout,”, of a continual shifting from top to bottom, from front to rear, of numerous parodies and travesties, humili- actions, profanations, comic crownings and uncrownings.

Diane Simpson Work from her oeuvre. “The six pieces in the show all appear to be based on wearable items that have had three-dimensionality steam-pressed out, but that still retain a sense of volume and, additionally, assume new functional identities. A brand new work, “Collar (Pagoda),” appears to be the enlarged version of a clerical […]

Surface Poetry at Boetzelaer|Nispen. “Today, the digital screen has become the predominant surface for engaging with visual content. The texture of the digital screen, characterized by its flat surface, artificial smoothness, juxtaposition of different windows, and chromatic backlit glow, constitutes the aesthetic framework in which we perceive and act upon a large part of the […]

Jeff Thompson Work from Computers on Law & Order “In the fall of 1990, a television program about crime, police investigation, and criminal trials named Law & Order aired for the first time.

Scott Lyall Work from Indiscretion at Miguel Abreu Gallery. “Lyall’s paintings, which are in fact digital prints on stretched canvas, are mounted on monochrome backings that frame them, double them, and space them in relation to their environments.
