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 […]

Matthew Brandt Work from Lakes and Reservoirs 2. This work is beautifully self-referential. Each image is soaked in the waters of where it was taken. It reminds me of the bleach treated works of Curtis Mann. I think the particular use of nature connecting these images is no mistake, as Brandt’s work shows, the familiar […]

Erwin Wurm Work from One Minute Sculptures. “Like Duchamp with his snow shovel, Austrian artist Erwin Wurm can make art with little more than a rubber band, a pickle or some dust. Wurm calls himself a sculptor, though many people might be more inclined to call what he does performance, and what viewers usually see […]

Misha De Ridder Work from Abendsonne. “Sometimes natural phenomena can become so estranged and mysterious, that we are inclined to describe them as unreal realities. It might be the extraordinary shape of a tree, a mountain, a shadow, a cloud or the mirroring reflection of nature in a lake, but it is foremost the unfamiliarity […]

During this period Strand’s art has developed through a series of increasingly […]

Chris Collins Work from his oeuvre. I recommend these piece highly: And So I Touched The Hand of God and Sunrise. Many of his pieces are web-based and format specific, so please, go to his site. “Much of the material Collins chooses to work with are dated and with limited aesthetic means. There is an […]

Michael Dean Work from his enigmatic and difficult to navigate website. “Michael Dean starts from short texts written in original print formats to give rise to an almost physical linguistic space that is meant to urge the audience not only to read, but to take part — both visually and spatially — the meaning of […]

Guro Olsdotter Gjøl Work from Things to Forget. “the piece things to forget consisted of four site specific incursions based on objects placed in different spaces in the art hall. objects typically associated with public spaces were used as props to stage scenes based on existing interior details. the objects were placed as natural parts […]

Marlon Kowalski Work from Plates. From what I can gather given the lack of contextual information on Kowalski’s Plates work, it is examining the nature of reproduction and photographic fidelity. The photograph, and photographed object hang side-by-side, now related to one another physically through the compelling referential reproduction and the existence of the “original”. This […]

   Leslie Grant Work from Pointing. Pointing is a collection of fantastic and enjoyable appropriations and recontextualizations of images found at flea markets and yard sales, and most likely various and sundry other places. Enjoy. – via The Exposure Project.
