Molly Springfield Work from Translation. “I can’t remember the first time I read Proust—a fact that’s ironic on a number of levels. I’m pretty sure it was sometime during the summer of 2004, the summer after my first year of grad school. A friend who is something of a Proust evangelist forwarded me a Word […]

Nicholas Knight Work from the Sentence Diagrams, Frame & Photo, and Taking Pictures. Interview with Nicholas Night: Jordan: In much of your work, there are underlying (and sometimes blatant) references to the production, deconstruction and obfuscation of the original (sentence, work of art, floor, frame, etc). Quite possibly, it is this method of working/thinking (which […]

Claudia Angelmaier Work from Works on Paper. I encountered Angelmaier’s work the other day at Galerie Alexandra Saheb, this work is (as I am sure has been said) strongly remiscent of Robert Heinecken’s Recto / Verso. Now, this is a very basic and aesthetic observation, as I think the conceptual concerns are different, albeit with […]

Mårtin Lange Work from Anomalies. Interview in ahorn magazine, which if you haven’t read, you should. “Lange’s photographs also seem to reference photographic modes from the document and the archival oddity. They are reminiscent of the book, Evidence, by Larry Sultan and Mike Mandel, where the dislocation and seeming randomness of the objects and scenes […]

Giles Revell Work from Photo Fit. The PDF of the project, complete with interviews and an introduction is here. Read it. “Photofit: In providing each sitter with the same tools – a 1970s police Photofit kit, the process by which they created their self-portrait was democratized; the immediate, tactile qualities of the kit enabling them […]

Ian Aleksander Adams Work from Gray Days. The following is an email dialouge that Ian and I had yesterday that discusses his work. It really was a treat to have an intelligent Trans-Atlantic back and forth about art. Ian: Gray Days is my most recent book project, with the final touches still being put on it. […]

Gerhard Richter Work from Overpainted Photographs. “A less well known aspect of the work of Gerhard Richter, the ‘overpainted photographs’ are not simply an answer to those who feared that photography had murdered painting, but an integrated work of material and colour. Countering the imposing format of his better-known paintings, these small overpainted photographs (mostly […]

Anders Weberg Work from P2P Art. P2P art is a brilliant examination of the ephemeral nature of art, and in many ways, contemporary culture. It is art realeased into the wild and reliant on the viewer to keep the work in existence (in the most literal sense). Go check out the other videos on his […]

Ben Van Den Berghe Work from The Handshake Society. “Handshake Society is the outcome of an ungoing interest in power relationships between people, focussing on the – decisive – moment on which people shake hands. I reframe found images and place them in a personal archive. By cropping these frames I try to eliminate the […]

Tudor Bratu Work from Album, Record, and Night Study #4. Bratu’s website is a cornucopia of projects, go visit it. ______________________ Album: “By altering the initial order of images, using blanks and empty space as image, the seemingly real of the facsimilae reproduction of the album, is contradicted by the absence and displace-ment of the […]
