Sam Smith
Sam Smith works across sculptural construction and moving image to create a visual language that speaks to both the history of cinema and its possible future forms. By intersecting the formal and conceptual frameworks that have previously separated these artistic disciplines, Smith asks us to rethink sculpture as montage, cinematic editing as object construction, and technical image apparatus […]

I promised myself as a child, never to forget what it felt like to be a child – to dream and invest in the imaginary, the fantastic, the impossible. My work is about trying to keep that promise. Grand projects are dreamt up and an attempt to realise these visions undertaken; using whatever comes to hand, […]

Am Anfang der Kreation steht die freie Form, doch schon hier gilt es einzuschränken. Die organischen, meist Pflanzen suggerierende Motive beziehen sich auf die kultivierte Natur. Überdies entstehen sie der Zellteilung ähnlich durch vielfache Replikation: Die Künstlerin projeziert mit einem Spiegel zahlreiche Fragmente an- und übereinander. In sich gebrochene Konstrukte, keine ‚authentische’ Natur, vielmehr mutierte […]

As a child I never understood immigration, race, or even poverty, which were things that my family was constantly in contact with. My work today is an investigation on the concept of culture. What are the things that define us within society? Nationality, skin color, how we dress, political affiliations, our personalities and attitudes in […]
Marike Schuurman
Die Fotos von Marike Schuurman zeugen von einem starken Sinn für Form, sie sind klar strukturiert. Gleichzeitig werfen sie viele Fragen auf. Sie suggerieren meist eine Geschichte, deren eigentlicher Hergang unklar bleibt. Die Spannung in ihren Arbeiten entsteht durch den Bruch zwischen klarer Form und offenem Inhalt. Es scheint so, als ob mehrere Perspektiven in […]

Shifting to and fro between functionality and abstraction, my work deals with various “actions and processes” ― natural dynamics, human behavior patterns toward materials, and physical phenomena occurring within the medium, the form, and the work itself. Sculptural structures of my work first evoke the viewer’s recollection, because they seemingly resemble chairs or tables, or […]
Carla Zaccagnini
It’s not easy to define a common ground to my artistic practice. There are some recurrent subjects, even some obsessions that permeate my research. But the matters I am interested in can be detected in different contexts and assume different forms. My practice is thus characterized by a flexible usage of medias and strategies that […]

My current interest is in what might be termed execution error, though error carries a misleadingly pejorative connotation. When a code or a plan is executed, the result contains a fullness of details much denser than that which was planned. My work consists in bringing attention to these unintended attributes by organizing systems that allow […]
Hyun Na
Na Hyun’s work originates from historical incidents. The artist infers connections between past events and present society, reconstructing them in documentary format. In so doing, he presents a realistic depiction of the structural uncertainty inherent to historical events. The historical events that constitute a recurring theme in Na’s work have been established and accepted through […]
Saskia Noor van Imhoff
In the installations, photo works, objects and videos of Saskia Noor van Imhoff, distinctions between an art work and its material are questioned, between the exhibition, a collection and the pieces of which it consists. Her installation ( ‘# + 11.00, 2013, Soft (1.5-2), fairly heavy, fragile with perfect cleavage. Semi-transparent with adamantine lustre. Orange-yellow […]
