Zach Nader Work from Investigation in Microscopic Views. “…In reexamining everyday objects and technologies, I make images to explore the uses of and potential histories that exist within the millions of personal and media images created daily.

Scott Jarrett Work from his oeuvre. “The instability of vanity is perhaps one of visual art’s greatest selling point. And, in an understated way, when derelict man-made objects and places are pushed to the boundaries of their own self contained and easily understood offensiveness, they often transform into something beautiful. Scott Jarrett’s recent work aggregates the […]

Heidi Specker Work from D’Elsi (and an install shot from Im Garten). “The 19th-century German landscape gardener Hermann Ludwig Heinrich von Pückler-Muskau introduced the concept of the English park to Germany.

Friday, 15 October 2010
Ahmet Öğüt Works from his oeuvre. “Ogut’s work is an explication of the rights of the individual and the expression of those rights in the face of the requirements of the state. The consequent struggle to make do and live with a sense of self-will sets into motion what might be called game-life. In game-life, the […]
