Marco Rosichelli

Marco Rosichelli Work from Sculpture The Ride and Handle with Care. “As an artist, I see myself relating to that idea of Peter Pan, a mischievous boy who can fly and refuses to grow up. In a post industrial society, the boundaries between youth and adult have blurred, and youthfulness has become an acceptable and […]

Guillermo Faivovich

Guillermo Faivovich Work from Cubo12 and Rod. “Based on the architect Clorindo Testa’s unrealized plans for the renovation of the premises on which the work takes place, FMV generated a permanent space consisting of 144 square meters of white paint on the exact site where the Centro de Artes Integradas at the Universidad Torcuato Di […]

Daniel Everett

Daniel Everett Work from his oeuvre. Everett’s work is on view at the Museum of Contemporary Art – Chicago until May. “Daniel Everett works across media, exploring the possibilities and limits of personal meaning in public spaces, both real and imagined.

Pauline Bastard

Pauline Bastard Works from Western. These are stills from Bastard’s video in which she traces the contours of the landscape with the spinning color wheel.

Alterazioni Video Work from I Would Prefer Not To. “The relationship, both passioned and obsessive, which the group developed in a daily engagement with the web provides the backdrop of this project.

Caroline Bachmann and Stefan Banz

Caroline Bachmann and Stefan Banz Work from their oeuvre. “Let’s imagine a situation that everyone familiar with the art scene regularly sees or personally experiences: the puzzled expression on the face of a viewer when looking at a painting, his/her eyes surreptitiously shifting from the artwork to the blank wall, in search of a label […]

Sol Hashemi

Sol Hashemi Work from Study for ‘The Natural Landscape’, Five Plastic Tablecovers, and Eight Bottles of Champagne.  “Leaving my studio, I get in a car. I drive to the nearby IKEA with the sole purpose of picking up free furniture brochures. I make it out with a twenty-pound stack. I spend two weeks cutting free […]

Helen Mirra

Helen Mirra Work from her oeuvre. “My work can perhaps be described as conceptual ecology, or pragmatist artmaking. My disparate though generally minimalist practice occurs in varied scrap media. In various ways, moreover, I’ve been thinking in my making life about the relationships between scale, time spans, modesty and bluntness. I build in a simple […]
