Stéphanie Baechler

Stéphanie Baechler Work from FABRIC Project. “Starting point for my project are formations, shapes and material combinations that result from the rather accidental than conscious every day actions of human life. I was inspired by curtains, fabric pleats, plastic bags, fabrics that happened to be spread on the floor, wrapped objects and creased blankets. The sheer […]

Ruth Van Beek

Ruth Van Beek Work from her oeuvre. “Ruth Van Beek or the Poetics of Paper Weights Ruth Van Beek’s collages play a particularly clever and intricate game of hide and seek with the truth of an image. ‘The result is a picture of something that never existed,’ she explains on her website. Ruth Van Beek […]

Tsunehisa Kimura

Tsunehisa Kimura Work from Visual Scandals. “The artist—who passed away in 2008—was well-known for his startlingly realistic collages of urban scenes, often animated with a kind of end-of-the-world, scifi-inflected festivity. Impact craters in the centers of wrecked cities share chaotic page space with Dalí-esque visions of giant human breasts in the sky. Waterfalls scour sublime […]

Paul Sepuya and Timothy Hull

Paul Sepuya and Timothy Hull Work from The Accidental Egyptian and Occidental Arrangements. “The book The Accidental Egyptian and Occidental Arrangements features over 25 photograph-based collages of xerox imagery on cut paper.

Genadii Berёzkin

Genadii Berёzkin Work from his/her ouevre. Apart from the stunning combination of visual complexity, accessibility, and kitsch, I have a very difficult time articulating anything about this work.

Judith Baumann

Judith Baumann Work from Travels with John. “Travels with John delves into my fantasy life in which I travel across the country with John Baldessari, imagining our conversations on life, love and landscape. In addition to recreating myriad conversations between John and I, I have collected and reinterpreted snapshots of our travels together ranging from […]

Chajana denHarder

Chajana denHarder Work from Body Works. “Imagine you are on a city street, then you are the city street. You are the thoughts of the street, you are not you. Then suddenly a man with a ladder knocks into your back. You are shocked and ask yourself why and what’s going on. Then the shock […]

Jared Ragland

Jared Ragland Work from his oeuvre mostly Aggregates. Also, check out his blog. “There may come to be new places in our lives that are second spiritual homes–closer to us in some ways, perhaps, than our original homes. But the home tie is the blood tie. And had it meant nothing to us, any other […]

Harrison Haynes

Harrison Haynes Work from Distruptive Patterns. “LB: Your work often contains an isolated object/figure in an open field as is the case here. Is this an aspect of the work, or a way of discussing the work? HH: I have a preoccupation with decontextualization. Focusing on details or objects within my everyday surroundings and thinking […]
