Igor Eskinja Work from his oeuvre. “Igor Eskinja constructs his architectonics of perception as ensembles of modesty and elegance. The artist “performs” the objects and situations, catching them in their intimate and silent transition from two-dimensional to three-dimensional formal appearance.

Yoshioka Tokujin Work from Sensing Nature (that resembles the fortress of solitude). “Japanese culture and art has always been in a close relationship with nature.

Félix Luque Sánchez Work from The Discovery. “Chapter I: The Discovery is an impenetrable, geometric object and a series of videos restaging the moment of its discovery, as if it were a scene from a sci-fi movie, where the hero is suddenly confronted with an alien, slightly chilling figure. The videos are broadcast in the […]

Tetsuo Kondo Work from Cloudscapes. “Clouds are important elements of our atmosphere, framing outdoor space and filtering sunlight. They are the visible part of the terrestrial water cycle, carrying water— the source of life—from the oceans to the land. Clouds find balance within stable equilibria and naturally sustain themselves, embodying and releasing solar energy. The […]

Dick coined the term “kipple” to explain the astonishing ability of household objects to accumulate in piles of unwanted clutter. He imagined kipple not merely as mess or disorder, but rather as an irreversible, entropic force—a perverse electromagnetic power binding inanimate things […]

Carrie Schneider Work from Burning and a spectacular homage to British battleship dazzle camouflage. “Over the course of several months, I built a series of identical wooden houses, placed them on an island in the middle of a lake (that my grandfather helped to dig during the Depression through the CCC), and burnt them down…” […]

Valentin Ruhry Work from his oeuvre. “To cite Claude Levi-Strauss, the engineer and the amateur constructor represent two completely different ways of behaving. For the engineer, there are only raw materials, which can be employed as desired, and disturbance factors, which are to be excluded. The amateur constructor may use waste material (also on a […]

Robert Barta Work from his oeuvre. Barta’s work is an playful recontextualization of commonly used objects that one would expect is intended to increase our awareness of our daily interactions with technology. These installations are works that rely on defied expectations and the existence of pre-formed relationships with these objects in order for the viewer […]
