Marc Swanson
Marc Swanson (American, b.1969) works in diverse media, including sculpture, drawing, collage, photography, video, and installation. The artist employs a refined range of materials, relying on a concentrated vocabulary of wood, glass, textile, naturally-shed animal antlers, and precious metals. He often juxtaposes “high” and “low” materials in the same work: rhinestones, gold and silver chain, and black mirrored panels meet lumberyard two-by-fours and white cotton t-shirts coated in latex.

Horizon
“Horizon recreates my favourite time of day – twilight – when the sun sets and daylight drops away. The surrounding scenery then darkens, leaving a soft gradient of colour that extends up into the sky. Horizon captures this moment in time, but re-imagines it as an ever changing, interactive light show.” Flynn Talbot

Building
Damián Ortega transita entre suportes variados, discutindo os limites da criação artística ao subverter os significados e funções de objetos cotidianos como tijolos, cadeiras, relógios ou carros. O artista altera, decompõe e transforma os objetos, revelando seus componentes implícitos e simbólicos e criando formas híbridas. Em paralelo, conduz uma investigação sobre formas escultóricas fundamentais, como o cubo minimalista construído com materiais banais ou mesmo desconstruído ou deformado.

Latifa Neyazi
Graduate Fashion Week 2018
“One of the boldest statement pieces of the week, even more so than the fluorescent collections! Neyazi’s huge puffy fat suit resembling garment was incredibly unusual. The ballooning dress took on a very unique silhouette.The models were send down the runway wearing headpieces which matched the round bunched bottom shaped dress. The brown, beige and burnt orange colour pallet evoked a bonfire and the huge blown up dresses adhere to a fire form.” Chloe Alexandra Lawrence

THE NEIGHBORS
Arne Svenson is self taught as a photographer, but his sensibility was largely formed by his early work as a therapist/educator working with severely disabled children. His vision embraces the unusual, quirky individuality of people and places and represents them with beauty, clarity and reverence. He creates most of his work within the controlled environment of the studio, and even when he ventures out to record the world, his vision is informed by the interior quality of his studio. Svenson works serially and obsessively on discrete projects which vary greatly, yet share these qualities. A sense of humor and fatalism allows Svenson to move freely from one obsession to the next, always manifest with extreme craft, diligence and love.

Seph Li – Everything Before, Everything After – China and UK
A digital installation features a winding river in the style of Chinese painting, symbolizing time and transition. Touch screens allow visitors to paint over it, altering its course unpredictably. The river embodies history and the future, with each trace contributing to its eternal flow through space and time. Recorded interactions ensure its perpetual existence.

FRIEZE
FRIEZE consists of two projections of enlarged figures, standing up straight. They are cramped inside a small, tall box that slowly revolves on a central horizontal axis. They wait. They try to keep straight, but their bodies insist on contorting in the confined space. Nevertheless they persevere in maintaining their dignity. Keeping up appearances. Their bodies sink and turn, pressing against the constricting walls, until the man and the woman are completely upside down. They then slowly pull themselves upright again, they straighten their clothes and look ahead as if nothing happened.
In FRIEZE Kris Verdonck continues to work on the theme of earlier projections, e.g. STILLS, DUMP and D’OR. The figures are typical ‘Verdonck-personages’: business types, neatly dressed, civilised and modern, but all stuck in a system, in an untenable situation. But they don’t ask questions. They maintain their faith. Persistance is the message.
The personages in FRIEZE could be considered to be a modern version of the caryatids: the humanly figures that often replaced pillars in classical architecture. They were functional as well as ornamental and emanated power. The caryatids in FRIEZE, on the other hand, display their vulnerability in the extreme.

スレッドのアーキテクチャのウェブは、ヌルスペースの範囲内にあります。それは抽象的な未定義の、間の暗いネガティブスペースをセグメント化する薄いポジティブ要素のセットをぶら下げます。ダイナミックな想像上の形は、この糸の素材と光の半素材によって物理的なボリュームに明確に表現されます。間のスペースを占めるフィラメントの視覚的重力。 2Dキャンバスは、サーフェスピースからラインセグメントに縮小されますが、別の次元であるボリュームに構築されます。光は線上にコントラストと秩序を生み出し、デジタル物質を明確に表現します。デジタルフォームは、相互接続された空間の境界に生息し、視覚的な塊として具現化されます。

Seeing spheres
Each of olafur eliasson’s seeing spheres supports a flat, circular mirrored face, framed by a ring of LED lights, which is oriented inward to reflect the mirrored faces of the surrounding spheres. Together they produce a surprising environment of multilayered, reflected spaces in which the same people and settings appear again and again, visible from various unexpected angles. Tunnel-like sets of nested reflections open up in the mirrors, repeating countless times and disappearing into the distance.

Selgascano Pavilion
architectural photographer: Henry Woide
“Der 2015 Serpentine Gallery Pavilion wurde heute in London offiziell eröffnet und zeigt zum ersten Mal eine farbenfrohe und verspielte Struktur, die vom spanischen Büro SelgasCano entworfen wurde. Mit einer minimalen Metallstruktur, die von farbigen ETFE-Platten und Bändern umgeben ist, besteht das Projekt aus” geheime Korridore “, die den Zugang zum Hauptinnenraum ermöglichen, der vom chaotischen Londoner U-Bahn-Netzwerk inspiriert ist.
Bekannt für seine Arbeit mit synthetischen Materialien, verleiht die Wahl von SelgasCano durch das farbige ETFE der Struktur “Bewegung und Leichtigkeit”, da sich der Kunststoff ein wenig verdrehen kann, um den metallischen Elementen zu entsprechen. Der gemeinsam mit Ingenieuren von Aecom und David Glover entwickelte ETFE-Kunststoff wurde in 19 Farben gedruckt, um die Vielfalt der von Architekten gewünschten Farbtöne zu gewährleisten.
Die Architekten José Selgas und Lucía Cano, die im Jahr 2000 mit einer Struktur von Zaha Hadid anlässlich des 15. Jahrestages des Serpentinenpavillons eingeweiht wurden, erklärten, dass der neue Pavillon, obwohl das Projekt nicht wie etwas aussieht, das zuvor vor Ort durchgeführt wurde, dennoch “eine Hommage an” ist alle anderen und eine Hommage an alle Geschichten, die von diesen Projekten erzählt wurden”.” Rory Stott

Delusional Crime and Punishment
Who created life? I think this is the question everyone has been asking themselves since childhood? At least I have many doubts, the subjective feeling of the existence of consciousness allows us to face the world from that source. Why do humans eat like this for energy? Why not get energy in other ways? Why do you need energy to exercise? Why is this so joyful and so painful? What is the need for pain, pleasure, fear, excitement, etc.?Upon careful analysis, it appears that the source of many desires comes from the design of our physical structure. If God designed human beings, why was he designed that way and why was he designed as a biological mechanism for sin and hell? Why do human beings have desires because of such a physical structure and even they don’t understand self-control, they have sins, and they have to go to another hell of punishment system to atone for their sins? Who created this series of systems?

Patterned by Nature
Patterned by Nature was commissioned by the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences for the newly built Nature Research Center in Raleigh, North Carolina. The exhibit celebrates our abstraction of nature’s infinite complexity into patterns through the scientific process, and through our perceptions. It brings to light the similarity of patterns in our universe, across all scales of space and time.

sleep levitations
French artist Maia Flore in a cool series entitled “Sleep Elevations”. A very feminine, surreal, sort of romantic artwork. Her subjects are young women being levitated by objects. Flore wishes to emphasize the attraction the girls feel towards their new, boundless surrounding, and the lightness of the reality they are entering into. Their contorted movements is meant to articulate a contrast between physical limitation and the limitlessness of imagination.

Sol LeWitt Upside Down
Haegue Yang’s expansive installation, titled Sol LeWitt Upside Down – Structure with Three Towers, Expanded 23 Times, Split in Three, consists of over 500 independent components made of Venetian blinds that together recreate one of LeWitt’s signature works from 1986 – connecting LeWitt’s work to her own attempts to be liberated from the urge to compose, and the way modular thinking leads towards proliferation. Magnifying its size 23 times and hanging it upside down, this is the first work in her Sol LeWitt Upside Down series.
