Ebbe Stub Wittrup

Ebbe Stub Wittrup Work from Overgarden. “The question of what is real has been debated throughout the entire history of humanity: Is it what our senses tell us, or is there a world beyond what we can immediately perceive? In this philosophical field, Ebbe Stub Wittrup explores life’s enigmatic layers by highlighting phenomena and material […]

Heather Cleary

Heather Cleary Work from her oeuvre. “Reality can be impossible to pin down, and these images intend to further explore this notion.  I work at home with domestic objects such as side tables, fruit, magazines and houseplants. By selecting, modifying, segmenting, and/or isolating items from their context, I pull objects from utility into abstraction.  I […]

VLF (Thomas Cristiani & Antoine Roux)

VLF (Thomas Cristiani & Antoine Roux) Work from their oeuvre. “We work on variations of reality. Without contesting the existence of object or image, we redefine the message it transmits. It is the role of the spectator to be conscious and define the distance between reality and virtuality of the works made. Fond rouge (red background) […]

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 […]

Can you tell me how you go about making your images? TZ: Actually my work is very […]

Mosse used Aerochrome, an obsolete technology, to create an alternative image of the complex social and political dynamics of the country. The film, designed in connection with the United States military during […]

Kelly Richardson

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 […]

Koen Hauser

Koen Hauser Work from the series De Luister van het Land, A la Recherche de l’Aventure Perdu and Opus Magnum Atomium. All of Hauser’s works have a distinct pseudo-scientific, pseudo-realistic aesthetic that reminds me of old phrenology portraits from the early years of photography.  ____________________ Galerie 37 Spaarnestad invited me to make new work with material […]

Li Wei

Li Wei Work from the series Li Wei falls to… Wei also has some interesting process videos here. Check out this one in particular. All of his work is worth checking out. The newer work reminds me of Kerry Skarbakka. I will post his work tomorow.
