Alex Morrison
Morrison’s practice spans an interest in architecture, memory and projection, identity and authenticity, notions of domestic and public space and the contentions arising from these delineations. He holds a particular interest in how a museum’s politics and anxieties surrounding the perception of art works can be readily applied to the policing of action, use and […]
Katharina Löfström
Perhaps, the combination of a film image showing a football game with a mixed soundscape – of an air conditioning unit fighting against the heat, a refrigerator joining in this fight, the intrinsic high-pitched buzz of an ageing Korean television set, and, far away in the background, barely perceptible but extremely loud screams – reminds […]
Roderick Hietbrink
Hietbrink’s work investigates to what extent the experience of the space surrounding us can be manipulated, allowing us to reinterpret it. Elements such as shape, structure, construction and acoustics, which all lie within the architectonic framework, form an important role within his practice. By manipulating these spatial elements, he is able to transform the characteristics […]
Richard Grayson
Had the young Karl Marx been adopted by the slapstick brothers of the same name, spending summers abroad with Noel Coward, he might have grown up to be English-Australian artist Richard Grayson. Theories of surplus value and dialectical materialism need panache and body language to overcome the leaden feet of history. Indeed in a pithy […]
BULL.MILETIC
BULL.MILETIC is the name of the artists’ duo founded by Synne Bull and Dragan Miletic in San Francisco, in 2000. The collective’s main interest lies in the question of how reality is perceived through different media. By investigating the nuances between presentation and representation, their work temporarily displaces the viewer and facilitates his or her […]
Heman Chong
Murmurmurmurmurmur (VeneziaAccademiaRemix), Heman Chong’s work for the Singapore Pavilion at the 50th Venice Biennale, reveals the author as someone who is developing a language of pluralism, rather than following a strict obedience to a specific medium. Alongside 20 monitors, the room features a light installation comprised of 38 pink fluorescents, an aural sample of language […]
Eva-Maria Bogaert
Eva-Maria Bogaert’s installations move along a fine line between artists’ films, painting and scientific experimentation. Concentrating on the phenomenon of time, they visualise continuities and processes. The resulting pictures of fleeting sequences of landscapes and structured fields define a kind of filmic painting. Eva-Maria Bogaert works with very simple, ‘poor’ materials, as for instance slides […]
Gerson Bettencourt Ferreira
Gerson Bettencourt Ferreira combines the subjective perspective of portrait analysis with elements of social research. He himself refers to his method as “empathic”. But what emerges from this “empathy and understanding” is a representative aesthetic sample of life in Berlin sport clubs. The individual and group portraits are not only a reflection of the individual […]
Rui Calçada Bastos
Many of Rui Calçada Bastos’s works, for which he has been using various media such as video, installations, photography and sound, are about intimacy and beauty. From the early days of his career as a painter, Bastos, who has been living in Lisbon and Macau, has moved to working with video, a shift closely related […]
Sergio Belinchón
Since 1997 Sergio Belinchón’s photographic interest lies in landscape, city and urbanity. In individual series of photographs, his work chronicles various aspects of what the city as human habitat, and urbanity as life’s context, mean to the people inhabiting the cities. They are portrayed in Belinchón’s photographs without necessarily being physically present in the images. […]
