Kelly Richardson Work from Twilight Avenger, Exiles of the Shattered Star, and Wagons Roll. It’s hard to pinpoint what’s so unnerving in Kelly Richardson’s video and photographic work at Birch Libralato. It could be the way the unnatural is continually made to appear natural. While it might seem that Richardson is making a statement about […]

Maurizio Anzeri Work from his oeuvre. “Embroidery never seemed as dark and suggestive as in the art of London-based Italian artist Maurizio Anzeri.

Curtis Mann Work from Modifications. “The original imagery in Curtis Mann’s Modifications series is copied from a variety of sources: online auctions, photo-sharing websites and estate sales, in a sense creating a fictional archive through the artist’s selection and collection of other people’s photographs.

His work is far more varied than the Social Bench series. “Jeppe Hein’s sculpture and installations explore the relationship between viewer and artwork.

Veronika Spierenburg Work from Newspaper no. 5 and Newspaper no. 4. “Veronika Spierenburg’s Newspapers series no. 4 + 5 are a playful dissection of spectacle as it exists in sports photography, not in an overly analytic way but as one disassembles a machine out of curiosity – to inspect and marvel at its parts. Spierenburg […]
