Vanessa Billy Work from her oeuvre. Also, there is a review of a recent show at This is Tomorrow. “To misquote Ecclesiastes, ‘The sun also rises, the sun goes down […] All art is meaningless and a striving after wind.’ Vanessa Billy’s Suns Neither Rise Nor Set (2008) comprises two convex glass discs that looked […]

Klara Källströms Work from Gingerbread Monument. “Gingerbread Monument is the photographer Klara Källströms debut book and an experiment in what a photography book can be.

Simon Berg Work from APAN ÄR RÄDD. You can buy the book here. “An intense portrayal of a seemingly meaningless everyday life.

Gustav Gustafsson Work from 24 Photographs (Mostly). “Evasive and mysterious, Gustav Gustafsson, is a talented young Swede who does not abide by scholastic philosophy.

His project on […]

Mårtin Lange

Mårtin Lange Work from Anomalies. Interview in ahorn magazine, which if you haven’t read, you should. “Lange’s photographs also seem to reference photographic modes from the document and the archival oddity. They are reminiscent of the book, Evidence, by Larry Sultan and Mike Mandel, where the dislocation and seeming randomness of the objects and scenes […]

Anders Weberg Work from P2P Art. P2P art is a brilliant examination of the ephemeral nature of art, and in many ways, contemporary culture. It is art realeased into the wild and reliant on the viewer to keep the work in existence (in the most literal sense). Go check out the other videos on his […]
Anders Krisár

Anders Krisár Work from the series Close, Please. “Concealed human presences haunt the images of Anders Krisar, a Swedish photographer with an odd agenda. In ”Hiding the Hidden,” three large and sharply detailed unpeopled photographs, made in parks on the outskirts of Stockholm, the focus seems to be a tree or two: decorous, well-barked […]
