Ian Whitmore

Ian Whitmore Work from the series Nowhere. Great work that addresses American use of landscaping (both indoor and outdoor).

Urban Camouflage

Urban Camouflage, work from the only body of work that I know they (he/she?) have. Urban Camouflage deals with the question how to camouflage oneself and one’s identity in the urban space. Our costumes are inspired by the ghillie suits, the military camouflage suit. It was an adventure to wear the suit in the stores […]

Yevgeniy Fiks

Yevgeniy Fiks Work from the piece Lenin For Your Library? I saw a show the Fiks was a part of at the Art Laboratory Berlin recently and there was a fantastic piece which I could not find on the internet. Opposite the wall of letters from various corporate libraries was the piece described below (by […]

Marc Volk

Marc Volk Work from the series Speed, Raster 384, Same Time / Same Place (top to bottom). Volk’s work (particularly Raster 384 and Same Time / Same Place) recalls Probst’s process oriented conceptual work from Exposures. In Raster 384 and Same Time / Same Place Volk uses extreme crops of a single image to provide […]

David A. Parker

I saw David A. Parker‘s photographs in a show a couple of years back and have continued to be intrigued by his “Escape Strategies” series.  I also like the “Circular Reasoning” series:

Jasper van den Brink

I first saw Jasper van den Brink‘s photographs on the cover of Cabinet Magazine’s Electricity issue. Great issue, by the way. The photographs from the “Pigeon Lights” series are intriguing, but I also like the more performance-oriented projects, such as “Bouncing Balls”, in which 200 colored balls are placed on a drawbridge and allowed to […]

Anders Krisár

  Anders Krisár Work from the series Close, Please. “Concealed human presences haunt the images of Anders Krisar, a Swedish photographer with an odd agenda. In ”Hiding the Hidden,” three large and sharply detailed unpeopled photographs, made in parks on the outskirts of Stockholm, the focus seems to be a tree or two: decorous, well-barked […]

Barbara Probst

Barbara Probst Work from the series Exposures. “On January 7, 2000, at 10:37 PM, Munich- and New York-based photographer Barbara Probst first employed a technique that remains unique among contemporary artists. Using a remote-control device, she simultaneously triggered the shutters of twelve cameras strategically positioned around a New York City rooftop, and the resultant set […]

Julian Montague

Julian Montague Work from the project Stray Shopping Cart. “The Stray Shopping Cart Project is an ongoing work that began in 1999 as a two page spread in the seminal Buffalo, New York zine Basta! (see PUBLICATIONS). In the beginning the System was comprised of 13 Types, only a few of which would be familiar […]

Packard Jennings

Packard Jennings amuses me. He has collaborated with Steve Lambert and his work was also included in the Shopdropping exhibition from the previous post.  Here’s some pages from a “Welcome to Geneva” pamphlet produced to put in random public locations in Geneva, Switzerland: Packard manufactured a Mussolini Action Figure, which he shopdropped at Wal-Mart, and then […]
