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. […]
Nevin Aladag
Aladag’s artistic practice doesn’t argue from the position of a loss of cultural identity in migration and Diaspora. On the contrary it draws its content and contexts out of the convergence of these geographic and cultural spaces. It discovers new forms of participation in the subcultures of popular culture “genres” of the suburbs and minorities. […]
Lisi Raskin
Lisi Raskin 1974 in Miami (USA). Lives in New York. Technology and science are fields of wonder for children and adults alike. Chemistry sets, video games, and most recently the realm of the Internet have become tools that provide people, at any age, with the fuel and elements necessary to further their desire to explore […]
Andrew Hurle
For the past fifteen years, I have used the technologies of mechanical and digital image reproduction as both a subject and a medium for artistic work. This practice has evolved from the simple use of photocopiers to produce collage ‘pictures’ into a more thorough and introspective examination of the structure and process of the machines […]
