Caroline Turner

Caroline Turner Work from Hinterland. We, the prepared pay our dues to time, once, twice, forever. Folding and unfolding, time remembers what we shall prepare for in the future and what we have failed to prepare for in the past. Nature, drunk on instinct, grounded in its own tangibility, does what it pleases. Earth shifts […]

Adrián Villar Rojas

Adrián Villar Rojas Work from Expo 1: New York. “Adrián Villar Rojas’s La inocencia de los animales (The innocence of animals) is an immersive installation that resembles both an amphitheater of antiquity and a postapocalyptic cavern. Consisting of cracked, crumbling clay and concrete, the work points forward and backwards—seemingly to the very beginnings of civilization and its […]

Extreme Environments and Future Landscapes

  Extreme Environments and Future Landscapes “Finally back from the seven day expedition and research in Svalbard, where we received lectures by the municipality on Longyearbyen’s past and present , by LPO architects to understand the challenges of building on frozen (and now slowly melting) tundra, by UNIS, the university centre in Svalbard on the […]

DIS Magazine

DIS Magazine Work from DISimages “DIS Images marks a significant shift in the way artists approach stock photography. Onlines image databases proliferated in the early part of the last decade, and artists searched them and plundered them. Their aggregated findings reflected the multiplicity of potential meanings in both the images and the keywords that index […]

In Moon Goose Analogue: Lunar Migration Bird Facility, a major commission, the artist develops an ongoing narrative based on the book The Man in the Moone, written by the English bishop Francis Godwin in […]

Barbara Kasten

Barbara Kasten Work from Constructs. “Influenced by The Bauhaus and Constructivism, Barbara Kasten explores modes of reorganizing the visual environment.

Chris Basmajian

Chris Basmajian Work from I Need Some Space to Think (at the Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts through September 4th). “Chris Basmajian is a new media artist who creates provocative interactive sculptural works that utilize custom computer software and proximity sensors to generate a dialogue about humanity’s elusive search for knowledge and truth.

Catharine Maloney

Catharine Maloney Work from Teleplay Part I. Maloney’s works lack subtlety with the same mix  of self-awareness and self-deprecation that would permit one to wear a faux-star trek uniform constructed of a pastel turtleneck and what looks to be American cheese. This is the power of the work, it expertly capitalizes on the nostalgia driven zeitgeist that breeds the desire […]

Félix Luque Sánchez

Félix Luque Sánchez Work from The Discovery. “Chapter I: The Discovery is an impenetrable, geometric object and a series of videos restaging the moment of its discovery, as if it were a scene from a sci-fi movie, where the hero is suddenly confronted with an alien, slightly chilling figure. The videos are broadcast in the […]
