Tamás Komoróczky
Dr. Sample is actually the documentation of a casting competition, which analyses the phenomenon of casting shows in the entertainment media in an enigmatic way. For his video installation, the Hungarian artist Tamás Komoróczky invited thirty people to supposedly compete for parts in a financial advertising spot. All the participants had to play the same […]
Germaine Koh
Germaine Koh stages her art as a form of apparently casual, yet calculated theatre. In her hands, everyday places and objects, familiar situations and actions are transformed into astonishingly salient scenarios, and the audience must make sense of these. They are obliged to work out for themselves how the objects and actions confronting them came […]
Frank Kalero
In 2003, the “Asociación OjodePez” in Barcelona launched the magazine of documentary photography “OjodePez”. The association was founded by several photographers with the following declared aims: to internationally promote documentary photography with all its facets and to publish specific themes and photographic projects neglected in conventional media and publications due to a lack of apparent […]
Andrew Hurle
Andrew Hurle makes the technologies of mechanical and digital image reproduction into both the medium and subject of his work. This practice has developed from the simple use of technical reproductive apparatus into an intense observation of the structures and processes upon which this technology is founded. Hurle has a preference for already existing graphic […]
Ronnie van Hout
Ronnie van Hout’s artistic originality is sustained by his self irony and the cryptic humour with which he dismantles subjects such as finding identity, cultural affiliation and the search for self-realisation, all of which are usually so resistant to humour. Often the installations resemble distorted self-portraits of the artist, who appears within his own works […]
The Helsinki School
The exhibition “The Helsinki School – A New Approach” – a cooperative project between the Künstlerhaus Bethanien GmbH and the TaiK: University of Art and Design Helsinki – is a touring exhibition due to travel all over Europe. It intends to show a wider international audience the working methods of 22 artists trained in the […]
Benoît Goupy
In museums and exhibition spaces, entire professions work on the untouchable, inalterable qualities of art. But in his work, Benoît Goupy turns this defence of the status quo on its head. The material and media he employs are the generally undesired effects of human presence on the climatic conditions or of the background architecture on […]
Urban Realities
Istanbul is the only city in the world that straddles two continents, thus connecting Orient and Occident. The cultural interrelations between these two regions of the world, as manifested in the city Istanbul and in its interaction with European cities, are important aspects of the extensive exhibition. But the exhibition does not represent the aesthetic […]
Josée Dubeau
Essentially, Josée Dubeau views her work with sculptures, installations and drawings as a laboratory for investigation into human living conditions. With her installation in Studio 2 of the Künstlerhaus, the artist has created a space that one could describe as the topography of office architecture: desks, some shelves and filing cabinets appear to be waiting […]
Damien Deroubaix
When Damien Deroubaix investigates political and social themes, anarcho-punk penetrates the world of art. Using a wide range of materials and techniques, he assembles quite extensive installations. Everything with name and status in the economy, politics and society may appear in these, from icons of contemporary history to the world of global companies and the […]
