José Dávila Work from his oeuvre. “José Dávila takes simple industrial, building materials with appropriated images as his medium to create works that contest the inherent qualities of modern architecture and other constructed spaces. As Marco Scotini explains “José Dávila’s artistic practice ranges from photographs to the construction of architectural models. Each time, he produces […]

Ryoji Ikeda Work from test pattern. “This latest audiovisual work from Ryoji Ikeda, presents intense flickering black and white imagery, which floats and convulses in darkness to a stark and powerful, highly synchronised soundtrack. Through a real–time computer programme, test pattern converts Ikeda’s audio signal patterns into tightly synchronized barcode patterns on screen. The velocity […]

Leslie Hewitt Work from her oeuvre. “Working with photography, sculpture, and site-specific installations, Leslie Hewitt addresses fluid notions of time. Her work oscillates between the illusionary potential of photography and the physical weight of sculpture. In her photographed arrangements, she isolates personal ephemera and the residue of mass culture to consider the fragile nature of […]

Evan Gruzis Work from Alpha Wave @ DUVE Berlin. “When the eyes are closed, before reaching somnolence, the brain experiences some of its strongest signals – Alpha Waves.

Guillermo R. Gudiño Work from his oeuvre. “Your mind is attempting to escape from this text and it takes some effort to stay here, present. This happens to us all, several times in a day, but most of the time we don’t notice how it is affecting our behavior. It is useful to be able […]

Lutz Bacher From her recent exhibition at Ratio 3. “…Her newer work is more polished, but equally weird: hundreds of light, bouncy, black rubber balls roll around the concrete floor; framed prints of nebulae are spaced widely apart on the walls; a very dark and shiny image of waiting-until-marriage abstinence vampire Robert Pattinson hangs drearily […]

Hilary Lloyd Work from her oeuvre. “Hilary Lloyd’s work is predominantly realized through the presentation of sequential images, either within video or slide installations. This work is rooted in Lloyd’s observation of people, objects and spaces. Each individual piece portrays its subject in isolation: men working at an outdoor carwash in Sheffield, UK (Car Wash, […]

Ulrich Vogel Work from his oeuvre. “..Right up to the present day Ulrich Vogl‘s work has been defined by an approach which is both conceptual and experimental. The sources of inspiration are often the materials themselves: everyday objects such as slide projectors, construction lamps, cardboard tubes and aluminium foil, or materials which carry a hint […]
