Kianoosh Motallebi Work from The Matrix. “Incandescent lamp fused with a flourescent light. The two otherwise incompatible technologies are forced to operate in the same space, creating a dynamic system that ultimately leads to dysfucnction of both light sources.” – Kianoosh Motallebi via Triangulation Blog Related posts: Alice Channer Shih Hsiung Chou Gaël Odilon Paccard Benjamin […]

Davi Raymond Conroy Work from his oeuvre. “From spiritual transfiguration to critical resistance, some form of distance has always been attributed to the artwork. This distance has historically been considered somewhat revelatory in that it announces a beyond that might open to either sacred or secular enlightenment, and perhaps more recently politics. That the artwork […]

Daniel Freytag Work from Monolith Alright, I am going to take a quick stab at this work based purely on how the aesthetic of these pieces fit in the scope of contemporary works. However, this particular aesthetic (similar to the superdutch) has a loose connection to the remainder of Freytag’s work. What I find most […]

Teo Ormond-Skeaping Work from In the Fulcrum of Our Dreams. “In Ormond-Skeaping’s multi-layered canvas the more bewildering aspects of dreamscape are invoked: sensations of symbolic import paired with faces that may have no relevance in daily life but in dream logic summon up powerful archetypal associations, creating wave of skin-prickling wave of weird emotional resonance.

Tim Steer Work from his oeuvre. “How do we account for the affect of materiality in a particular work? One way to think about it is as a process. This is not an original point. In “The Time of Digital Poetry: From Object to Event”, Katherine Hayles develops a more sophisticated description of materiality than […]

John Stezaker Work from his oeuvre. “John Stezaker’s work re-examines the various relationships to the photographic image: as documentation of truth, purveyor of memory, and symbol of modern culture. In his collages, Stezaker appropriates images found in books, magazines, and postcards and uses them as ‘readymades’. Through his elegant juxtapositions, Stezaker adopts the content and […]

Clare Strand Work from Conjurations and Gone Astray. “Over the last ten years, dissatisfied with the often complacent values of the photography world, Clare Strand has assembled a body of work that is both subversive and celebratory in its approach to photographic conventions. During this period Strand’s art has developed through a series of increasingly […]

Michael Dean Work from his enigmatic and difficult to navigate website. “Michael Dean starts from short texts written in original print formats to give rise to an almost physical linguistic space that is meant to urge the audience not only to read, but to take part — both visually and spatially — the meaning of […]
