Spiros Hadjidjanos

Spiros Hadjidjanos Work from Displacement Maps “Displacement Maps is an investigation on the derivatives of digital images as physical objects. These derivatives demonstrate the relation between a digital object and its potential mutations as a configurative relation between reformatted variations of spatiotemporal structures. Using a rendering of Masdar City, a planned urban environment, designed from […]

Josh Kline

Josh Kline Work from his oeuvre. “Typically, when an art work is referred to as being ‘of the moment’, it’s meant derisively. Our romantic ideals require art to transcend culture and time, to live on eternally rather than in a fashionable present. ‘Dignity and Self Respect’, Josh Kline’s first solo exhibition in New York, unapologetically […]

Manfred Mohr

Manfred Mohr Work from his oeuvre. “…The inevitable question that arises in response to algorithmic based art is the aesthetic value of something where the work is supposedly done primarily by a computer. The artist to some is perceived as absent from such mathematical constraints and rules of logic. It’s as if to give way […]

Daniel Rozin

Daniel Rozin Work from his ongoing exhibition at Bitforms. “Since the late 1990s, Rozin’s constructions in software and sculpture have investigated the psychological and optical cues inherent to image building, such as pattern and the materiality of the picture plane. In a departure from the traditional rectilinear grid, which was the foundation of his 2010 […]

Jeremy Gravayat and Art of Failure

Jeremy Gravayat and Art of Failure Work from CORPUS. “…CORPUS is a project by Jeremy Gravayat and Art of Failure that brings together sound, visuals and architecture. Based on the principle of vibration in resonance with the built environment, the sound system consists of speakers, vibrators and a score generated in real time incorporating pure […]

Alex Myers

Alex Myers Work from (0,0,0) “What happens when all of the elements of a place exist in the same physical location? By changing the 3D information of a place from a proprietary format to an open one elements of each place were given their own origin point. Not something you usually want to happen. I exploited this […]

Thomas Ruff

Thomas Ruff Work from ma.r.s. “The photograms series depict abstract shapes, lines, and spirals in seemingly random formations with varying degrees of transparency and illumination. Their compositions are reminiscent of artistic experimentation with camera-less photography in the 1920s, where objects were placed directly on photo-sensitive paper and exposed to light, creating white or gray silhouettes […]

Robert Smithson

Robert Smithson Work from his oeuvre. “…Embodied in all of Smithson’s endeavors was his interest in entropy, mapping, paradox, language, landscape, popular culture, anthropology, and natural history. This is evident in works he created such as Heap of Language, King Kong Meets the Gem of Egypt, Enantiamorphic Chambers, A Nonsite – Pine Barren’s New Jersey, […]

David Shoerner

David Shoerner Work from After Gerhard Richter, Betty, 1988. “Publisher and photographer Schoerner uses his camera as a tool in a conceptual art practice. In his serial project After Gerhard Richter, Schoerner plays upon the German painter’s photo-realist painting style by posing his sitters in homage to Richter’s painting of his wife Betty (1998). Richter’s original […]

Miroslaw Balka

Miroslaw Balka Work from his oeuvre. “Balka’s materials traverse the line between found objects and neutral sculptural media. The aura of silence he imparts to his work is distilled from noise and static, like a valve selectively opened. In 105 x 25 x 25 (2008), he frames the image of levitation – a metaphor for transcendence – […]
