Nicholas Knight

Nicholas Knight Work from the Sentence Diagrams, Frame & Photo, and Taking Pictures. Interview with Nicholas Night: Jordan: In much of your work, there are underlying (and sometimes blatant) references to the production, deconstruction and obfuscation of the original (sentence, work of art, floor, frame, etc). Quite possibly, it is this method of working/thinking (which […]

Simen Johan

Simen Johan Work from Until the Kingdom Comes. Great articles here, here, and here. “In Until the Kingdom Comes, Johan presents animals using escapism and fantasy to construct identity and purpose. Similar to his earlier work of children, this series explores our predilection towards imagination and emotion, rather than reason. Using digitally manipulated photography and […]

Osang Gwong

Osang Gwong Work from Deodorant Type. Interview with Ju-Hycon Lee here. “Gwon works between the fields of photography and sculpture. The artist plays with representations of reality and truth in both media by creating photographic sculptures and sculptural photographs…Deodorant Type (2005-2006): Here again Gwon subverts preconceptions about representational form. A subject is rendered through the […]

Jeppe Hein

Jeppe Hein Work from Social Bench. You can see a great deal more of Hein’s work here. His work is far more varied than the Social Bench series. “Jeppe Hein’s sculpture and installations explore the relationship between viewer and artwork. Using the minimalist aesthetic of the archetypical cube, Hein’s Shaking Cube is both sculpture and […]

Atelier Van Lieshout

Atelier Van Lieshout Work from Sport Nouveau. “Sport Nouveau was created in the wake of Bad Furniture. This set of sport equipment has been designed with fantastic shapes, elegant forms and a noble character. The machine fits only thin people, preferably wearing silk socks. A heavier human body would break the machines, even with normal […]

Tom Sachs

Tom Sachs Work from his oeuvre. Tom Sachs work operates somewhere between fetishization and critique of objects of contemporary American desire.  By reproducing these objects in readily available materials, using low-tech processes, Sachs is able to make the unattainable, attainable.  However, because these reproductions are “Tom Sachs’”, and are therefore expensive, fine art objects, available […]

Wesley Meuris

Wesley Meuris Work from Cages (my title, his works are various cages in the series), Botanical World Archive, and Swimming Pool. “Since the nineties Wesley Meuris(*Lier,1977) has been fascinated by our relationship with architecture, and more especially by the way we convert particular patterns of thought, needs and desires into functions and codes of behaviour, […]

Jonathan Dankenbring

Jonathan Dankenbring Work from Prototyping Fulfillment. “Every object present in our daily life reflects ideological information about its maker and its audience. Yet, often we do not take time out of our busy day to ponder how our built environment is manipulated through visual and physical means. My most recent series of works are carefully […]

Glue Society

Glue Society Work from their oeuvre, but not from a titled body of work. The Glue Society has no sweeping statement I could find, nor any statement at all. The only information I could dig up was a few names, and the fact that they are an creative collective based in Sydney and New York. […]
