Tanya Johnston Work from her oeuvre. “Drawing from symbolism, semiotics, psychology, science and culture, my process of creation attempts to synthesize linear and non-linear thinking. Through my work I explore the realms of reality as illusion, and illusion as reality. I seek to bridge the gap between two hemispheres – both literally and metaphorically – […]

Martijn Hendriks Work from his oeuvre. There is a good interview here. “Martijn Hendriks’s videos, sculptures, and installations often involve seemingly unproductive gestures. Exploring how such unproductive acts like displacements, mistranslation, removals, withholding things, obstructions, overdoing things, repetition, mismatchings, and attempts at impossible or redundant tasks may become productive, a common thread in his work […]

Semiconductor (Ruth Jarman and Joe Gerhardt) Work from Black Rain. “Black Rain is sourced from images collected by the twin satellite, solar mission, STEREO. Here we see the HI (Heliospheric Imager) visual data as it tracks interplanetary space for solar wind and CME’s (coronal mass ejections) heading towards Earth. Working with STEREO scientists, Semiconductor collected […]

James Welling Work from his oeuvre. “The various steps involved in the creation of these works are instructive: Welling first arranged and exposed plumbago blossoms on black-and-white sheet-film negatives then printed each one using a different assortment of colored gels. Each work is, then, like the result of a performance in the darkroom, where the […]

Maurizio Catellan Work from his awesome oeuvre. “Maurizio Cattelan has been described as an art-world joker; an artist/funnyman who, following avant-garde tradition, repeatedly transgresses the accepted boundaries that define the art system and society in general. The humour in his theatrical and wilfully anarchic gestures, such as stealing the contents of an Amsterdam art gallery […]

Uta Barth I have been wanting to post Barth’s work for quite some time, I was a little shocked to find I hadn’t yet. “Color photography’s recent ability to rival painting in scale and stylistic range seemed particularly well exemplified by Uta Barth’s mid-’90s work from the “Ground” and “Field” series; in some images, she […]

Carlo Van de Roer Work from Orbs and Blinded by the Light. Van de Roer has some amazing, critical, and conceptual projects that cover a wide range of photographically-specific commentary. I advise you to peruse his website. There is also a great interview / article from Pilot Magazine about Blinded by the Light that you […]

Nicholas Knight Work from the Sentence Diagrams, Frame & Photo, and Taking Pictures. Interview with Nicholas Night: Jordan: In much of your work, there are underlying (and sometimes blatant) references to the production, deconstruction and obfuscation of the original (sentence, work of art, floor, frame, etc). Quite possibly, it is this method of working/thinking (which […]

Giles Revell Work from Photo Fit. The PDF of the project, complete with interviews and an introduction is here. Read it. “Photofit: In providing each sitter with the same tools – a 1970s police Photofit kit, the process by which they created their self-portrait was democratized; the immediate, tactile qualities of the kit enabling them […]

Jan Dibbets Work from Perspective Correction, Land and Sea Horizons, and Windows. New York Times article here. “The camera records something quite different from what we see. There are no rectangular formats in nature, only in art (paintings, sheets of music or poems, windows, ravioli), and only if we choose to look at it that […]
