Fayçal Baghriche

Fayçal Baghriche Work from his oeuvre. “A globe spinning so fast the continents can no longer be made out, flags wrapped around themselves, showing only their red colour, a video reversing the course of time – starting from the formulation of a hypothesis, the works of Fayçal Baghriche undermine our most familiar points of reference […]

Ay-O

Ay-O Work from Over the Rainbow Once More. Text courtesy Nick Faust. “Classical busts blasted with rainbow gradients. Ay-O pushes delineated stripes to their decorative end games.

Olaf Nicolai

Olaf Nicolai Work from his oeuvre. “Nicolai combines art with observations on markets and materialism, with memories and archive material, with relational aesthetics, and with scenes from everyday life.

Yola Monakhov

Yola Monakhov Work from Living Pictures. “The work takes its name from 19th century tableaux vivants, which staged living scenes suspended in time.

Focusing on the paper as an […]

Assaf Shaham

Assaf Shaham Work from Time After Time and Again. “In my works I try to examine and challange the medium of photography, its limits and the way we percieve and consume it as viewers.

Niklaus Rüegg

Katharina Grosse

Katharina Grosse Work from “They had Taken Things Along to Eat Together” at Johann Konig. “We´ve visited gallery Johann König, Berlin that is currently presenting works by Katharina Grosse.

Katharina Grosse’s paintings find their way onto a variety of surfaces – onto […]
