Reynold Reynolds Work from Six Apartments. “Two screen video projection loop transferred from 16mm with a duration of 12min. Six Apartments is a poetic document of decline and deterioration—both physical and ideal, hypnotic and melancholic. Six isolated occupants of six different apartments live their lives unaware of each other. Without drama they eat food, wander […]

Claudia Angelmaier

Claudia Angelmaier Work from Works on Paper. I encountered Angelmaier’s work the other day at Galerie Alexandra Saheb, this work is (as I am sure has been said) strongly remiscent of Robert Heinecken’s Recto / Verso. Now, this is a very basic and aesthetic observation, as I think the conceptual concerns are different, albeit with […]
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 […]

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 […]

Ian Aleksander Adams Work from Gray Days. The following is an email dialouge that Ian and I had yesterday that discusses his work. It really was a treat to have an intelligent Trans-Atlantic back and forth about art. Ian: Gray Days is my most recent book project, with the final touches still being put on it. […]

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 […]

Tim Simmons Work from Quarry (Intervention). “His works expound the spirit of the place, from the mundane to the magnificent. Landscapes from the back yard to the snowfield are the sets of his eerie, haunting, enigmatic photographs. Created as seamless, modest yet elaborately orchestrated tableau. Meticulous in their poise, composition and lighting — Simmons is […]
Sarah Pickering
Saturday, 4 July 2009
Sarah Pickering Work from Explosions. In honor of the 4th of July, because no artists that I know of shoot fireworks. “Explosions,” Sarah Pickering’s debut solo show, is both as understated and as boisterous as its title implies. The British artist’s eight large-scale photographs capture the pyrotechnics of various types of bombs and explosives, suspending […]
Gerhard Richter
Friday, 3 July 2009
Gerhard Richter Work from Overpainted Photographs. “A less well known aspect of the work of Gerhard Richter, the ‘overpainted photographs’ are not simply an answer to those who feared that photography had murdered painting, but an integrated work of material and colour. Countering the imposing format of his better-known paintings, these small overpainted photographs (mostly […]
Anders Weberg
Thursday, 2 July 2009
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 […]
