ABSALON
cellule No. 5
Absalon’s best known works, the Cellules, rewrite Cezanne’s “treat nature as the cylinder, the sphere and the cone” to read “treat architecture as the cell, the bunker and the turret.” Not that the Cellules are straightforwardly architecture: they equally evoke Minimalist sculpture, Matt Mullican’s maquettes, Kurt Schwitters’ Merzbauen and the Concrete sculptures of George Vantongerloo. But the model that the Cellules most overtly evoke is the monastic cell. The Cellules were fabricated in wood, cardboard and plaster, and painted entirely white; their average proportions are roughly those of a caravan, and the catalogue informs us that there is always an area in which one can stand up. Their interiors are fitted–fitted rather than furnished–with unobtrusive minimal representations of desks, seats, beds, etc.

Meditation
우리는 마치 거대한 기계의 부속품처럼 서로 맞물려 돌아간다. 부속품이 그렇듯 우리는 자신의 인생에서 조차 주인공이 아닌 변두리의 회색인간으로 하루하루 버티며 살고 있다. 나의 작업에서 쓰이는 체인은 속박을 의미한다. 그 속박은 타의적인 인간관계와 물질에 얽매여 있는 현대인에 삶을 의미한다. 개인의삶은 무시되는 현대사회에서 눈과 귀 입을 닫고 자신의 감정을 억누르며 버티고 있는 우리 인간의 모습을 보여주고 싶었다. 우리는 어디에서도 그것에 대해 표출하고 위안을 받을 곳이 없다. 단지 묵묵히 참고 버티고 있을 뿐… 나의 작업이 그러한 사람들에게 조금이나마 위안이 되길 바란다.

TAO Dance Theater
6&8
In 6, his six dancers move in dynamic and hypnotising unison, in a shifting landscape of light created by Swedish lighting designer Ellen Ruge. His latest work 7 continues Tao Ye’s fascination with pattern, precision and ritual, and is distinguished by a sound track of acoustic effects generated by the seven dancers’ own bodies. Both 6 & 7 will be accompanied by specially commissioned music from Chinese indie folk composer Xiao He.

TZUSOO
SCHRÖDINGER’S BABY
Schrödinger’s Baby(2019/20), TZUSOO alludes to the popular thought experiment devised by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1935. Schrödinger proposed a scenario in which a cat is locked in a box with an unstable radioactive atom that could potentially begin to emit radiation and release a toxic gas. However, there is no way to say with certainty when or indeed whether this will happen without opening the box. The result is a paradox, with Schrödinger asserting that the cat enters a state of superposition that makes it impossible to say whether it is alive or dead.The South Korean artist translates this famous paradox into the reality of her own life, creating a digital baby in virtual space. Based on her inner grappling with potential motherhood, TZUSOO bought the digital model of a developing embryo, refining it according to her own ideas. She is free to determine the sex, skin colour and other characteristics or to dispense with all specifications so as to avoid stereotyping. In Schrödinger’s Baby, TZUSOO thus discuss core aspects of her work including reflection on gender and origin for which she also draws on her personal experience as a South Korean artist in Europe.

My Little Big Data
O ensaio em vídeo de 24 minutos My Little Big Data foi realizado em colaboração com o analista de dados Vladan Joler, a quem os artistas entregaram voluntariamente todos os e-mails trocados nos últimos 13 anos (mais de 70.000 e-mails pessoais enviados e recebidos) e vários meses de histórico de navegação.
O vídeo analisa a enorme riqueza de informação que muitas vezes revela detalhes íntimos da vida privada dos dois artistas, como preferências políticas ou culinárias, processos de trabalho, locais visitados ou locais onde viveram, de forma a criar um retrato de extraindo e examinando esses dados pessoais e metadados.

*(asterisk)
“*(asterisk) is an installation comprised of an armillary sphere apparatus rotating an apple in 360 degrees and four cameras omnidirectionally scanning the surface of the apple in real-time. Computers calculate the similarity between fragmentary images of the present apple and apples I’ve eaten before, as if they were my memory of apples. The computations and compared apple-fragment images are shown on four displays respectively.” Noriyuki Suzuki

GIF
In early 2011 I was exploring the relations of geometry, nature and the human being in a series of 25 pictures that I called ”Fractal Experience”. This is part two – continuing the exploration of geometric shapes, patterns, and fractals with an added element: space-time. This time I’ve worked in 3D and produced a set of animated looping gif’s.
I’ve limited each animation to at most 48 frames, most are around 10-15 frames – to keep the file size small and to maximize the creativity with in these frames.

coagulate
Mihai Grecu’s video work Coagulate is a visually immersive journey into a world of water which behaves against the laws of nature. This choreography of fluids explores absence, presence and aquatic distortions. In this world, man breathes water and fish breath air. Water seems impervious to gravity. Rather than narrative, Coagulate is based on sensation and atmosphere.
