Awoiska van der Molen Work from The Living Mountain. “…Awoiska van der Molen’s audiovisual installation The Living Mountain (2022) shows the grand landscapes of the Südtirol Alps in Austria, the homeland of Thomas Larcher, composer of the accompanying music. In this compelling work, Van der Molen’s atmospheric black-and-white photography and the experimental score merge as […]

Ugo Rondinone Work from his oeuvre. “Ranging from installations and sculptures to psychedelic paintings and large-scale drawings, Ugo Rondinone’s eclectic practice explores the relationships between opposing forces—day and night, real and artificial, euphoria and depression. His most recognizable works are his colorful “Rocks” sculptures: vertically stacked rocks painted in fluorescent colors. Inspired by naturally occurring […]

Rick Silva and Nicolas Sassoon Work from CORES. It is well worth seeing the videos (that I could not embed without issue) and reading the essay for each fragment. “Here, on the lithosphere, where the earth meets the sky, there exists a long history of how rocks and stones can be seen as images and […]

Naoya Hatakeyama Work from BLAST. “Do not be afraid, yet do not make light of nature. Always keep the gods in mind with prayer… Imagine a huge piece of rock, like a mountain, that you wanted to take a part of home. How would you do it? If you had a hammer, like a geologist, […]

Ramon Todo Work from his oeuvre. “Using stones and bricks with history and culture of the land, he creats the sculpture of the stones put in polished glasses.” – Art Front Gallery

Allora & Calzadilla Work from Fault Lines @ Fondazione Nicola Trussardi. “Allora & Calzadilla have developed an experimental and interdisciplinary body of work, linking different elements and languages—such as sculpture, photography, performance, music, sound, and video—which are combined to explore the psychological, political, and social geography of contemporary globalized culture. Their practice investigates pivotal concepts […]

Delaney Allen Work from A Personal Nature. “Flickering like lusty visions of dreamscape temptation, the teasing glimpses of Delaney Allen’s hyper-saturated world are tempered by a mercuric foundation in a Darwinian timeline. In A Personal Nature, a frothy wonderland of glitz remains heavy in the mind of the viewer like a drug induced trance, toxic but […]

Joel Dean Work from The Mutant and the Melody at Jancar Jones. The show takes its structure from the dichotomy of an ancient form of cultural inheritance, the fable. It includes two pieces that remain in flux for the full duration of the exhibition. Like the driving forces in the narrative of a fable, the […]
