Amalia Pica

Amalia Pica Work from her oeuvre “When the term “romantic conceptualism” reached its apotheosis several years ago, the touchstone appeared, almost unanimously, to be Bas Jan Ader’s I’m Too Sad to Tell You (1971). Gushing affect, it also self-reflexively performed the romantic artist’s predicament: the subjectivity romanticism gives license to profess proves, alas, incommunicable. Consistently […]

Haris Epaminoda

Haris Epaminoda Work from his oeuvre. “…deceptively intimate works of Epaminonda: collages, escoriating and beautiful.

They are composed […]

Sara Angelucci

Sara Angelucci Work from Regular 8. “For the past ten years, my practice has encompassed photography and video, examining vernacular archival materials, including snapshots and home movies.

Marlo Pascual

Marlo Pascual Work from her oeuvre. “I’m creating a relationship between the artwork, the art space, and the viewer by employing visual and audible devices. In recent sculptures I’ve juxtaposed found photographs and objects with various light sources to create a mise-en-scene for them to play out in. The unknown actors and actress in the […]

Maurizio Anzeri

Maurizio Anzeri Work from his oeuvre. “Embroidery never seemed as dark and suggestive as in the art of London-based Italian artist Maurizio Anzeri. In his meticulous work, he transforms old discarded family photographs into three-dimensional objects with intense psychological evocations. “The intimate human action of embroidery is a ritual of making and reshaping stories and […]
