United Visual Artists The Creators Project: How did UVA first begin its splendid attacks on our senses? Matt Clark: We met in the world of designing for live performance. Working as individual freelancers, we worked on a couple of projects together and thought, “Why don’t we start up our own thing?” I guess our original […]

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. Using simple, inexpensive materials, such as adhesive tape or electric cables and unraveling them with […]

Xavier Veilhan Work from his oeuvre. “Whether he uses digital photography, sculpture, public statuary, video, installations or even the art of the exhibition, Xavier Veilhan builds his work around the same axis: the possibilities of representation. One of the most striking features of his polymorphic practice is that he treats generic objects and shapes of […]

Eric Yahnker Work from his oeuvre. Make sure you head over to his website, the titles of the work are remarkable. “With his keen eye for pop culture and irreverent humor, Eric Yahnker‘s current exhibition of highly-detailed pencil drawings and conceptual sculptures at Ambach & Rice Gallery taps into a zeitgeist also seen in the […]

A […]

Jason Kraus Work from his show at RENTAL. “Using the spectacle of a motor vehicle crash as a stand in for the spectacle of art making, Kraus has created a new body of work that investigates modes of production and audience. The exhibition at Rental in New York consists of sculptures made from pieces of […]

Alejandro Almanza Work from his oeuvre. “In the 1960s sci-fi writer Philip K. 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 […]

Derek Frech Work from his oeuvre. This work has been on my mind for quite some time now. While I can’t quite put my finger on what it is about this work that I find so compelling, I can’t stop thinking about it. I am intrigued by how Frech exposes his process and allows it […]

Luis Gispert Work from his oeuvre. Jacob Hashimoto: This last January, you opened an enormous two-part exhibition at Zach Feuer and Mary Boone Gallery that represented well over two years of sculptures and images and was crowned with a hugely ambitious short film, Smother. Having had the opportunity to watch you labor over this diverse […]
