Dan Graham Work from his oeuvre. “Graham’s rejection of the high-seriousness of modern art emerged at the same moment as Pop art in the early 1960s. “I love magazines because they are like pop songs,” he once explained about his early conceptual magazine works, “easily disposable, dealing with momentary pleasures.” He infused his approach with […]

Elspeth Diederix Work from her oeuvre. “…Diederix is playful and inventive in her visualisation of images but strict and almost mathematical in constructing her compositions.

Zachary Davis Work from his oeuvre. “Zachary Davis is concerned with the limits and difficulties of human cognition, evolved long ago as a “learning and pattern recognition machine.” An active member of Portland-based artist collective Appendix Project Space, which is known as much for intellectual engagement as physical practice, his current research explores the resonance of new […]

Lisa Shahno Work from THE ITERATION. “The collection is inspired by the Fractal Cosmology theory which maintains the structure of the universe to be of the fractal nature and the universe itself to be infinite in any direction. A fractal is a kind of geometric shape which can be divided into parts, each at least approximately a […]
