Pseudomorphs

The “Pseudomorphs” (literally means false form) is made out of a neckpiece that is driven by pneumatic control valves to color the white absorbing dress underneath in different colors and prints. In this way the dress reacts itself and is therefore an uncontrolled matter.

RYAN JOHNSON

Райана Джонсона
pedestrian

Ryan Johnson’s pieces made from found and repurposed materials are very much rooted in traditional figurative sculpture, but he has abstracted the forms, making his work have a weird gestural quality. The drawing and writing he does on the casting tape he uses plays on the idea that it’s usually wrapped around broken limbs, but it also allows him to use it to create another thread of communication within his work. His ‘Pedestrian’ series of figures made out of wood and paint is also really stunning – they look like people zapping between dimensions.

Jacob’dream: a luminous path
San Francisco-based electronic-media artist Jim Campbell creates work that combines film, light emitting diodes (LEDs) and sculptural elements. His choice of materials is often complex, and he uses them to create imagery that is allusive and open-ended. His exploration of the distinction between the analog world and its digital representation metaphorically parallels the difference between poetic understanding versus the mathematics of data.

Александр Кент

Alexander Kent is a London based photographer shooting modern still life. In his studio in Bethnal Green, East London he makes his sets and experiments with things. He shoots both Advertising and Editorial, though many of his personal images are a result of his experiments. Currently Kent is experimenting with the idea of boundaries. Physical boundaries, visual boundaries and scientific boundaries, looking at how they can all intermingle in one photograph.

Daniel Canogar

Fulgurations
Fulgurations is een generatieve installatie samengesteld uit een reeks LED-schermen die een inhoud in constante mutatie toont. Het reageert op een algoritme ontworpen door Studio Daniel Canogar, geïnspireerd door de cellulaire activiteit en ander soort collectief gedrag en natuurpatronen. De code die deze beelden regeert, maakt gebruik van het computationele principe van cellulaire automaten, ontwikkeld door de wiskundige John von Neumann. De logica van dit systeem werkt door de invloed van naburige eenheden, wat collectief gedrag in de keten uitlokt met een hoge esthetische waarde.

Specter
El monolito naranja fluorescente de Sterling Ruby, SPECTRE, aparece como una aparición en el desierto. La brillante escultura geométrica crea una ilusión óptica discordante, que se asemeja a un compuesto o collage con Photoshop, como si algo se hubiera eliminado o borrado del paisaje. El bloque actúa como un cifrado o sustituto, imitando la forma que podría ser: un contenedor de envío, un búnker militar, un objeto no identificado, un hogar abandonado. La naranja fluorescente se usa tradicionalmente por seguridad, como advertencia. Aquí esa lógica se invierte: un objeto fantasmal, apartado del entorno natural, escondido a plena vista.

CHOI XOO ANG

최수앙
S úctou, v šoku nebo minimálně znepokojeni nad figurami, jejichž až bizarně živá lidskost vyráží dech. Jihokorejský sochař ze Soulu zkoumá společností akceptováno zneužívání nejzákladnějších lidských hodnot. Ve své práci využívá moment šoku z detailně a velmi citlivě vypracovaných nahých lidských těl zničených životní deziluzi. Těžko uvěřit, že pod povrchem tohoto téměř pulsujícího organismu se ukrývá nerezová ocel, hlína, pryskyřice, akryl a olejové barvy.

Limited Spaces N2
On approaching the piece, the viewer must mount a bicycle and start pedaling at a suitable and steady speed — only then will the projection of a film onto the screen start. In order to watch the film to the end one has to continue cycling without stopping. This work is built around a performance, produced by two actors: a man riding a bicycle and a woman, who, concealed behind the screen, moves depending on the man’s velocity, unintentionally creating changing reliefs which resemble sculptures. The abusive nature of the relationship embodied in the performance clearly draws on the ancient Greek myth about sculptor Pygmalion and his “artwork” Galatea on the one hand, and on the other references more contemporary feminist discourse, something to which the artist is far from being indifferent. The faster the man pedals, the faster and more forcedly the woman moves. Few trained artists could withstand such a speed.

INTERIOR N0. 58

Primarily working within abandoned office spaces, her process involves stripping the rooms down to their individual components, laying bare the layers found beneath the surfaces. She then re-assembles the room using materials found on-site, such as fluorescent tubes, paper towels, laminate, and tape, by adapting techniques of sculpture, painting and drawing.

Jacob Tonski

Balance Study Apparatus
Jacob Tonski is a pragmatic optimist whose work explores dynamic balance through kinetic metaphors.
A self-adjusting platform makes everyone the same height, probing ideas of equality and the origins of power. A larger-than-life top spins about the room, wobbling through themes of pleasure, danger, youth and decay. A sofa teeters, standing on one leg, musing on the stability of the social structures we build. These and other human-scale objects, both amusing and threatening, find an uncanny identity between toys and tools. The forces of time and gravity serve in these works as foils for those things we are powerless to direct in our lives, and with which we must instead dance and negotiate.
