Guy Ben-Ner
Self Portrait as a Family Man
Guy Ben-Ner’s works display an acute, self-critical and humorous position towards his familial situation and artistic practice. The struggle between the artist’s freedom and his will to take an active part in the creation of a healthy family life has underlain his works since 1996.

Reed Esslinger
Reed Esslinger’s work takes many forms, (sculpture, installation, video, writing, etc.) but almost always involves fibers and theatre. Having spent 3 years living on Réunion Island, an Outer Seas Department of France in the Indian Ocean, Reed’s interest in the island’s linguistic and cultural creolization have led to visual metaphors for the elusive process of relinquishing, adding, and transforming parts of one’s identity. She ultimately loves stories- whether absorbing, recording, or recounting them, and sees teaching as a natural occasion for mutual authorship and exploration.
Mella Jaarsma
Bule Bull
As an artist, Mella is equally known and committed. Her comments on prevailing social and political issues in Indonesian/a> society are revealing and insightful. These are issues of discrimination, racialism, minorities and identity, which she finds she has an urge and responsibility to comment on in her art works.

Philippe Druillet
BD
Philippe Druillet ist ein französischer Comiczeichner und -schöpfer sowie ein Innovator im Bereich visuelles Design. Druillet wurde in Toulouse, Haute-Garonne, Frankreich, geboren, verbrachte seine Jugend jedoch in Spanien und kehrte 1952 nach dem Tod seines Vaters nach Frankreich zurück. Als Science-Fiction- und Comic-Fan arbeitete Philippe nach dem Abitur als Fotograf und zeichnete nur zu seinem eigenen Vergnügen. Sein erstes Buch erschien 1966 mit dem Titel Le Mystère des abîmes (Das Geheimnis des Abgrunds). Es stellte seinen wiederkehrenden Helden Lone Sloane vor und spielte mit Science-Fiction-Themen, die teilweise von seinen Lieblingsautoren H. P. Lovecraft und A. E. van Vogt inspiriert waren. Später schuf Druillet Buchcover für Neuveröffentlichungen von Lovecrafts Werken sowie zahlreiche Filmplakate. Nachdem Druillet 1970 regelmäßig Beiträge für das französisch-belgische Comic-Magazin Pilote verfasste, wurde seine Lone Sloane-Saga immer extravaganter, da er Innovationen wie kühne Seitendesigns und computergenerierte Bilder verfolgte.

Piss Flowers
What will you do if it snows this winter? Throw snowballs? Get out the sledge? Or wee in the crisp cold whiteness as art? Helen Chadwick had an eye for the organic. She took closeup photographs of moist, freshly cut meat, superimposed images of her body cells over landscapes, and invented a unique winter methodology to create her Piss Flowers. Chadwick urinated in deep snow, then made casts of the interior spaces – instant caves – melted in the snow by the warm liquid. The resulting white forms of bronze and cellulose lacquer look like alien cities from a frozen planet, or fungal eruptions beneath the surface of the arctic ice. They are unique and haunting winter wonderlands.

As We Are Blind
As We Are Blind calcule et interprète en temps réel ces données physiologiques sous la forme d’une production musicale et photographique unique. Le spectateur pose la main sur un capteur mesurant son activité électrodermale, une action permettant de dresser sa cartographie émotionnelle. Les valeurs recueillies, qui représentent des variations propres à chaque individu, sont d’abord converties sous la forme d’une image révélant son champ électromagnétique. Puis, ces données physiologiques sont analysées par un programme informatique capable, en suivant des règles de composition préétablies, de les transcoder en partition musicale.

story changes in the body as it acclimates to a new rhythm. Participating in the installation can bring about unexpected emotional responses that also affect heart rate variability and, thereby, get recorded, too. The reason why the gift-box is used as an indicator of the heartbeat is because it is a metaphor of a “Gift.

“I want to create a surreal atmosphere, so that the people who visit, relax or exercise here have the possibility of engaging in a dialogue with the past and the future. Time and space are dissolved and placed against each other, manifesting a sense of weightlessness, and unrestrained imagination,” Ma Yansong

ФРЕДЕРИК ХЕЙМАН
Dans son travail délicieusement étrange, Frederik propose des ensembles fantastiques faits à la main avec des accessoires à base d’urine, ainsi que des campagnes de mode haut de gamme très, très nettes. Non content de demander à de beaux modèles de faire le travail visuel à sa place, Frederik enfonce des cigares dans leur bouche, peint des chevaux dessus ou allonge leurs bras dans de gros tubes charnus. Voir un gars qui est si doué dans ce qu’il fait mais avec un gros élément de «Je ferai tout ce que je veux» est rafraîchissant, hilarant et très impressionnant.

Light from a window behind the work dapples sculptural waves with pockets of sunlight, making it appear as if it is actually rippling before your eyes. If it wasn’t for the walls that contain the deep blue piece, one might assume they’ve created a real wave machine inside the Mori Art Museum where the work is currently installed.
