Monument to the Unknown Artist
At first glance, Monument to the Unknown Artist appears to be a simple bronze statue, dressed in a neck scarf and loose fitting suit. However, the six meter monument seeks inspiration from passers-by, inviting them to strike poses which he copies, continually changing his form in a light-hearted and mischievous way. The unique sculpture offers an alternative and accessible creative experience for the public allowing them to create a dialogue with the work of art.
MIAO XIAOCHUN
fluoroscopy
Miao Xiaochun creates and builds virtual worlds for twenty years, unlimited in size, perspective and imagination. Populated by strange cybernetic beings, stripped of every habit, character or expression, these universes superimpose the images of the great classics of Western art with futuristic, highly urbanized and technologically technologized settings.
Markus Hofer
El austriaco Markus Hofer es un narrador nato que utiliza la escultura como su medio. Su método comienza con objetos comunes, cosas cotidianas básicas, que son intervenidas y manipuladas alterando sus estructuras y sus significados originales ligeramente. Pero el cambio sutil transforma el objeto en la representación de una idea, lo que obliga al espectador a analizarlo más de cerca. Cada intervención artística es simple pero potente, una invitación a un universo excéntrico y desconcertante donde la percepción y los hábitos visuales son cuestionados y modificados. Hofer obliga al espectador a un descubrimiento constante y trae a su atención las cosas cotidianas que nos rodean y las historias que pueden revelar.

ALEXANDRA BELLISSIMO
Александра Беллиссимо
Female Imitation
She was born and raised in the Los Angeles area and attended the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA. where she received her BFA in photography. Her body of work strongly revolves around the theory of “making” pictures instead of simply, “taking” pictures. She executes her visual intentions through incorporating traditional collaging techniques, as well as digital manipulation to each surreal photograph.

Zauberlehrling
«Побег» пилона на свободу прерывает поток электричества, и все же сам пилон кажется электрифицированным. Его плавная форма напоминает человеческую фигуру и перекликается с вызванным духом из «Zauberlehrling» Гете («Ученик чародея»), который бросил вызов контролю ученика. Оснащенный непостижимой энергией – так как нет видимых соединительных линий – он стоит отдельно и заряжен энергией посреди зеленого поля, далеко от своего предназначения и предназначения. Сцена для этого мятежного танца разворачивается в регионе, отмеченном тяжелой промышленностью, и поднимает новые вопросы о будущем в наше время изменения климата и переоценки наших источников энергии, а также возвращает воспоминания о славном прошлом Рура. область, край. Изготовленная из стальных профилей и достигающая общей высоты 35 метров, скульптура практически повторяет линии обычного электрического пилона.

polytopes
Jessica Eaton’s photographs dissect chemical and optical phenomena, the materiality of film, and the language of light itself. Eaton came to international acclaim through her Cubes for Albers and LeWitt (commonly referred to by the acronym cfaal)—a series of vibrant photographs that deconstruct her studio practice. Like the majority of Eaton’s works, these optically charged images are made by taking multiple in-camera exposures of common studio supplies. Through her abundant use of traditional analog photography practices—such as colour-separation filtering and in-camera masking—Eaton imbues her large-format images with an aesthetic more reminiscent of the paintings and drawings of hard-edge geometric abstraction than the photographs of traditional studio work.

YUJI NISHIJIMA
西嶋 祐二
Yuji Nishijima is a sculptor in search of his own notion of the medium, creating works using materials such as iron, concrete and wire. His interest lies not only in the works themselves, but also with his relationship to the audiences that come to his exhibitions. He defines this relationship as a part of his work. At this exhibition entitled “An Indication of Existence”, Nishijima will create his sculptures in the form of his own body using numerous coils of copper wire.

Kunst spielt eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Zerstörung der Grenzen unseres Verständnisses, in das unsere Denkweise durch die gebildete Sprache eingebunden ist. Die menschliche Sprache dient im Vergleich zur Musiksprache als eher konservative Kommunikationsform; wo die Freiheit des Weltraums als Zufluchtsort für diesen breiten Horizont dient, der auf der Suche nach einer hochmodernen Form des Rundfunks ist.Candas ‘Versuche, verschiedene Formen zu kämmen, implizieren nicht notwendigerweise die bloße Schaffung eines wegweisenden Blitzes, sondern die Nutzung der endlosen Möglichkeiten, das Bekannte und Unbekannte miteinander zu verbinden. Durch das Unbekannte entstehen wir mit einer neuen Denkweise, die versucht, ein neues Werkzeug der Selbstdarstellung zu ersetzen und Raum dafür zu schaffen. Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass die grafische Notation die Möglichkeit bietet, eine persönliche Sprache zu erstellen, die auf dem parallelen Fühlen von Bild und Ton basiert.

The Gold Divide
“I visualized The Gold Divide as a transparent wall; a large surface representing emotion and energy. The piece was inspired by my experiences studying abroad in Amsterdam, time spent at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts and the community at Massachusetts College of Art and Design. It was a cumulation of observations and experiences—like riding my bike through the city of Boston and seeing vast construction netting wrapped around buildings. These large surfaces of material triggered my fascination for creating work at an enormous scale. I reflected on process, on how something is made, and was further intrigued by the challenge and symbolism of independently sewing four hundred yards of fabric on a single industrial sewing machine.” Leah Medin

A number of striking sculptures from the first solo exhibition of Korean artist Jang Yong Sun entitled Particles of Dark Matter. Sun welds thousands of steel rings to form these amoeba-like structures that despite having the appearance of being precariously fragile must be extremely heavy.

wash choose peel chop rinse
This series of prints were created by capturing the editing timelines of the five movements of wash choose peel chop rinse. These images allow us to experience time as a static artifact of the musical composition process. Each slice of the simulated video frames correspond on a one-to-one basis with audible changes in the rhythmically edited video art work. In the process of making these images, the artist acts as a human agent of the video rendering codec. Each slice is hand selected to become part of the final image composite.
