Chris Wiley

Chris Wiley Work from his oeuvre. “When looking at Chris Wiley’s photographs, two main things come to mind. One is you feel like you’re walking along at a particularly quite time of day in a suburban/urban area, noticing all the odd, mundane, but strangely beautiful detritus around the streets. Second is the Japanese concept of […]

Fleming Ove Bech

Fleming Ove Bech Work from his oeuvre. “Danish photographer Flemming Ove Bech’s images are satisfyingly simple. Taking a straightforward, sculptural approach to image making, Bech’s work combines unremarkable everyday components in a playful manner. Shapes and tones are flattened by the photographic plane and rendered in an oscillating palate of delicately muted pastel hues, and […]

Pierre Schwerzmann

Pierre Schwerzmann Work from “Two” at Skopia, Geneva. “At first glance, then, the eye is attracted by the vibrations of the light well at the centre of the painting. The immediate effect of these vibrations is to prevent the gaze from settling and to incite the body itself to start moving in order to adjust. […]

Eloise Hawser

Eloise Hawser Work from her oeuvre. “The level of sophistication in security and anti-theft devices forms the image of a socio-economic bracket, and there exist disparities between these devices from inner city East to West. As such, a great number of metal roller doors exist along the high streets of London’s East End. At first […]

Morten Andenæs Work from his oeuvre. “Galleri Riis is pleased to present enclosed circuit, Morten Andenæs¹ second show with the gallery.

Adam McEwen

Adam McEwen Work from his oeuvre. “Adam McEwen wrote actual obituaries for The Daily Telegraph in London before he ever turned the genre into artwork, writing obituaries for still living and breathing celebrities like Kate Moss and Jeff Koons (he’s done nine in total and has three more on the way). Seeing news in an […]

Zak Kitnick

Zak Kitnick Work from his exhibition at Clifton Benevento, New York “Once he started using store-bought industrial shelving to create highly ordered Neo-Minimalist sculptures, Zak Kitnick came into his own as an artist. In his latest show, he takes these materials and his compulsion to organize to ingenious new levels, by basing his works on […]

Michael Dean

Michael Dean Work from his exhibition at Herald St, London. “If you say “haha,” aloud, you are not, under any circumstances, laughing. In fact it is something like the opposite of a laugh, the onomatopoeia of a dead laugh. You are laughing at laughing, or at best describing it (‘funny haha’). That is why, in transcriptions of […]

A.K. Burns

A.K. Burns Work from “Touch Parade”. “Burns brings intelligence and humor to her subjects. In a 2011 interview with Rhizome director Lauren Cornell, she asks pithy questions like, “Why are things, shaped the way they are, continually inserted in to our vaginal consumerist reality?” and asserts that “the personal is not only political, but sexual.” […]

Andrea Longacre-White

Andrea Longacre-White Work from her oeuvre. “Many of your works seem interested in the tension between analog and digital in the creation and reception of a work, like physical xerox scans of the screen of an iPad.  To what degree do you connect a piece to the technological platform on which it was made? The Pad […]
