Mirror Armor
Being entrapped in narcissism is like a “self-jail”. Placing the mirror armor fixtures over my nude body causes the viewer to see the pixelated and fragmented image of myself. Usually covering, hiding, pretending to be a version of myself on the outside, therefore, “good looking” seems more of decoration or in itself a type of armor suitable for public viewing. Will these mirrors of self reflection cause me to wonder who I am on a deeper level? To discover who I truly am, what I am afraid of, why I waste my life without discovering my inner self. I constantly struggle with how I can break this boundary because I want to wake from this oblivion.

ケイト・ギルモアは、ポストフェミニストの性とジェンダーに対する批判において、彼女自身の身体性を押し付けています。 ギルモアは、ダダイスムの不条理、風刺漫画の誇張、政治的正しさの厳格さを思い起こさせる、自主規制と挑戦的な目的を持って、パフォーマンス、ビデオ、彫刻、写真の集合体を形作っています。 したがって、ギルモアは、自分の構造の文字通りの壁を乗り越えようとする謙虚な努力の中で、かかとの高い靴に邪魔されていることに気付くかもしれません。 ギルモアは、自我と自我の本質と仮定を活気づけるだけでなく、個人の誠実さのためにそれらを決闘に配置します。

Ли Хунбо

Li Hongbo es un artista de origen chino cuyas esculturas están conformadas por miles de hojas de papel y pegamento. Mediante una técnica tradicional china muy conocida comúnmente y utilizada para realizar juguetes para niños, Hongbo explora la maleabilidad del medio esculpiendo el material para dar vida a verdaderas obras de arte, mayormente con figuras humanas. Al unir 30.000 hojas de papel colocadas estratégicamente y formando enormes bloques que dan la apariencia de madera, el artista luego talla los bloques hasta dar con la forma deseada. La flexibilidad del material sumado a la técnica utilizada provee movilidad a las esculturas, experimentando con distintas formas surrealistas y dando la facilidad al artista de estirar las piezas alrededor de las salas en las cuales exhibe su trabajo.

I think that there is both a science technology and a human technology in technology. I am interested in making clothes by crossing over these two different technologies. I think that in any age, it is important to maintain a close relationship with the technology of that specific age. Combining the technology made by man’s hands and the high technology made by the latest machines may be our future task.”

Islas resonantes

c’est un des apanages de la musique minimaliste basée sur des sons longuement tenus, lorsqu’elle est conçue de manière adéquate et irriguée par une réelle inspiration, que d’être susceptible de plonger l’auditeur dans un état second, une sorte de rêve éveillé qui décuple paradoxalement l’acuité de son écoute et lui permet de percevoir les détails les plus infimes et les nuances les plus subtiles de ce qui lui est donné à entendre. c’est à une aventure de ce type que nous convie éliane radigue avec « l’île re-sonante », jusqu’à des confins poétiques qui n’appartiennent qu’à son univers musical.

si cette pièce a été composée pour être écoutée d’une traite et qu’aucun effet de rupture n’y est brutalement marqué, elle offre cependant la particularité d’être constituée d’une succession de séquences qui crée une sorte d’architecture impalpable aux proportions harmonieusement établies. c’est bien d’une oeuvre musicale au sens que l’on donne habituellement à ce terme en occident qu’il s’agit, et non d’un simple environnement sonore à caractère plus ou moins expérimental.

Project Florence
Plants synthesize a very large amount of information via electrical and chemical signals and deliberately make changes to themselves, their neighbors and the land nearby for their benefit. This signals caused by cell depolarization through ions fluxes such as K + , Ca2 + , H + , Na + , and Cl alert the whole plant for localized stimuli, such as biotic and abiotic stress and are one of the most universal properties of living organisms. In project Florence we take advantage of the sensibility of plants to different light frequencies and use it to trigger a plant response through manipulation and compare the similarities between plants and natural language processes.

Wind of Boston: Data Paintings
Wind of Boston: Data Paintings is a site-specific work that turns the invisible patterns of wind in and around Boston into a series of poetic data paintings within a 6’ x 13’ digital canvas. By using a one-year data set collected from Boston Logan Airport, Refik Anadol Studios developed a series of custom software to read, analyze and visualize wind speed, direction, and gust patterns along with time and temperature at 20-second intervals throughout the year.

Portrait of the Artist

Jennifer Rubell, the American artist and niece of Studio 54 co-founder Steve Rubell, brings a maternal touch to this year’s Frieze Art Fair with her autobiographical piece Portrait of the Artist. The pristine white nude, cast from steel-reinforced fibreglass, reclines like an odalisque at the Stephen Friedman Gallery stand. The sculpture is a replica of Rubell’s own eight-months-pregnant body, except it is eight metres high: the large belly, which is carved out to leave an egg-shaped void, can accommodate a fully grown adult. Spectators are able to clamber into the artwork and curl up inside as if they are the artist’s unborn child.Rubell’s intention was to create a monumental gesture of unconditional motherly love. There is a feminist statement here, too: Rubell has appropriated a style and scale historically reserved for male leaders to show, she says, “an emotion that is intensely personal and un-heroic”. The artist adds that watching members of the Frieze audience enter in the sculpture’s womb is “tremendously satisfying” – in her eyes the enlarged form was “incomplete until the first viewer entered”. Amid the hustle of Frieze’s mini-city there is something undeniably appealing about the opportunity to put your feet up in the foetal position in the name of art. Not to mention the comfort factor.

“I will always focus on portraits. My aim is to try to express the characteristics of Seoul and my generation in my work.” In terms of visual motifs, Giseok’s portfolio features a few consistent elements. Firstly, a soft use of light, often accompanied by washes of colour. And, secondly, flowers of all shapes and sizes. These form a large part of Giseok’s compositions, dictating the aura of an image.

Reading Position for Second Degree Burn

“Reading position for second degree burn”, an experiment in which he sunbathed for five hours with a book on his torso. The Time, The Sun, the Light and the Book titled Tactics: Vol II, Cavalry Artillery, by German Colonel Balck: Would it be the Enlightenment of Iron and Fire? Is it the culture that marks our bodies as we mark horses? Or just a book that Dennis took to the beach and asleep forgot about his body?

The other side
This installation automatically creates a three-dimensional relief carving of the current cloud formations and ocean surface conditions on the opposite side of the earth from the location of the gallery space. Using satellite data from the Nasa Earth Observing Information System and the GPS coordinates of the gallery, the installation obtains a current image of an approximately six hundred square mile area on the opposite side of the earth from its location. Using custom software, the system converts this image into a relief model that is sent to an onsite CNC machine hanging upside down in the gallery space. The CNC machine carves the relief in pink foam with its upside-down orientation directly echoing the cloud and ocean topography on the opposite side of earth.
