Archives for the Month of May, 2013

Michael Dean

Michael Dean Work from his exhibition at Herald St, London. “If you say “haha,” aloud, you are not, under any circumstances, laughing. In fact it is something like the opposite of a laugh, the onomatopoeia of a dead laugh. You are laughing at laughing, or at best describing it (‘funny haha’). That is why, in transcriptions of […]

A.K. Burns

A.K. Burns Work from “Touch Parade”. “Burns brings intelligence and humor to her subjects. In a 2011 interview with Rhizome director Lauren Cornell, she asks pithy questions like, “Why are things, shaped the way they are, continually inserted in to our vaginal consumerist reality?” and asserts that “the personal is not only political, but sexual.” […]

Andrea Longacre-White

Andrea Longacre-White Work from her oeuvre. “Many of your works seem interested in the tension between analog and digital in the creation and reception of a work, like physical xerox scans of the screen of an iPad.  To what degree do you connect a piece to the technological platform on which it was made? The Pad […]

Jean Arp

Jean Arp Work from his oeuvre. “In 1931, Arp was associated with the Paris-based group Abstraction-Création and the periodical Transition. Throughout the 1930s and until the end of his life, he continued to write and publish poetry and essays. In 1942, he fled Meudon for Zurich; he was to make Meudon his primary residence again in […]

Erika Vogt

Erika Vogt Work from her oeuvre. “Vogt arranges groups of sculptures throughout the space, reiterating the vocabulary present in the videos and drawings. These sculptures invite tactile engagement, and derive their form both from found objects as well as invented ones. There are, for example, knobs, a jig, a window sash, wood scraps, a guide, […]

Good Luck & Safe Journey

Sam Falls, Federico Maddalozzo, Julia Rommel Work from “Good Luck & Safe Journey” at T293, Naples. “The exhibition examines the procedures and repeated gestures used to structure works in a certain way and open them up to random luck and chance, be it natural or employed. In their final forms, the works by Sam Falls, […]

Esther Kläs

Esther Kläs Work from her oeuvre. “Despite the idea of stillness often associated with sculpture, Kläs’ works contain the energy of movement while integrating joint body parts in monolithic structures counterbalanced and held up by frames and ephemeral supports. In “All In”, 2011 a varied and multiform set of figures dialogue together in the main space, […]

Standard Escape Routes

Jonathan Binet, Walker Evans, Aaron Garber-Maikovska, Guyton/Walker, Alex Hubbard, Ann Cathrin November Høibo, Adriana Lara, Klara Liden, Anders Nordby, Sigmar Polke, Chadwick Rantanen, Nick Relph, Hannah Ryggen, Torbjørn Rødland, Oscar Tuazon, Franz West Work from Standard Escape Routes “Consequential damage (Law) (a) Damage so remote as not to be actionable (b) Damage which although remote is actionable. […]

Magali Reus

Magali Reus Work from her oeuvre. “Through the way the works are presented, by the appropriation of objects, and thanks to the use of colour, two identifiable thematic series thus gradually come to the fore: on the one hand, sporting imagery, with training sessions and gym equipment (rings, wall-bars and wallbrackets, and various training mats), and, on the other, the […]
