Kateřina Držková Work from Postcards (Tropical Beach and Albena). “In this work I present a pair of found postcards that looks “totally the same” at first sight, but actually they differ in many details in the picture (a time shift of several minutes is apparent) and also on the back sides. On each postcard it […]

Elad Lassry
Saturday, 27 February 2010
Elad Lassry Work from his oeuvre. “If it isn’t easy to find a standout work in Elad Lassry’s current show, it isn’t just because all the works, including multiple photographs (all with minimal but custom, often color- coordinated frames) and a projected film, are presented within the same modest size range. It’s because it’s hard […]
Matthew Robert Hughes

Matthew Robert Hughes Work from (Un)Dress Yourself in My Love. “Matthew-Robert Hughes’s artistic practice is fundamentally concerned with the self as subject matter for the camera, and acts as a demonstration of the role of photographic technology in individual self-representation. Throughout his working practice, Hughes has continued to use ‘time’ as a tool to explore […]

Ben Fry Work from All Streets and Print Studies. Descriptions follow image order. Go to his website, you won’t regret it. “All of the streets in the lower 48 United States: an image of 26 million individual road segments. No other features (such as outlines or geographic features) have been added to this image, however […]

Beni Bischof Work from Bricked Castles. Translation from German with a word I don’t know, but I have translated regardless. If you can fix anything, feel free to let me know. “The longer I work on my artistic works, the more I sense a common thread, which shows myself. This involves the manipulation of things, […]

Owen Mundy Work from Give Me My Data. Give Me My Data is a Facebook Application “that helps you reclaim and reuse your data.” This work, much like Jacob Broms’ Facebook Intense is an interesting peek into the scope and structure of Facebook, as well as a commentary of our cultural relationship with information. The […]

Monday, 22 February 2010
Sebastjan Leban & Staš Kleindienst Work from Buy Your Own Art Experience. Catalog available here. “One of the fundamental problems of the art world, the art market and last but not least art in general is their attachment to the original as some kind of fetish, which of course is properly evaluated as all the […]

Ryan Boatright Work from Error, Color Checker, and Instrument Approaches. Error: “These are initial studies that depict the gap between reality and a photograph. Inspiration for this work grew out of time spent planning and implementing a new digitization strategy capable of generating extremely accurate images. Concurrently, a process was created to quantify the error […]
Fred Camper
Saturday, 20 February 2010
Fred Camper Work from Figments. “Each “Figments” group is created from a single image, transformed into 47 lower resolution images or “elements,” which are made by using software to reduce it in size, and then re-enlarge it, by varying processes. These 47 images plus the original constitute the 48 “elements” from which each “Figments” group […]
Aleksandra Mir

Aleksandra Mir Work from her oeuvre. Mir is performing at Exit Art tonight. Below is an interview from the Venice Biennale with Roberto Balò & Lorenzo Capanni. The first question is obviously: what are you going to show at the Biennale? I have printed 1 million fake postcards of Venice, entitled “VENEZIA (all places contain all […]
